The best time to practice yoga is early in the morning on an empty stomach: preferably before 8 a.m. Because the energy consumed by practicing yoga on an empty stomach in the early morning comes from fat, not muscle. After a night of rest and purification, the waste in the intestines and bladder has been cleared out. At this moment, nature has gathered the most energy, and it is also the quietest time of the day. Our minds are awake and undisturbed, and we can concentrate on the practice.

Generally, you can practice for about 30 minutes on an empty stomach in the early morning. It also depends on the physical condition of each practitioner. For those who are in the early stages of practice, it can be a few minutes or dozens of minutes. As the practice time and frequency of practice increase, you can increase the practice time appropriately. But this does not mean that the longer the yoga practice time, the better. You should listen to your body's feelings and determine the practice time based on your body's reaction.

More specific practice time recommendations are: practice in the morning before the sun comes out, practice at noon when the sun is overhead, practice in the evening after sunset, and practice in the early morning at 12 o'clock at night. Different contents should be practiced at different times, such as practicing more asanas in the morning, practicing more meditation at noon and in the evening, and so on. When practicing yoga, the body should remain in a normal and quiet state. If you feel unwell or are sick, try not to practice. Never exceed the capacity of your body. Of course, these are just suggestions. You can also flexibly adjust the practice time according to your own situation. However, try to choose a time period without interference to avoid being unable to concentrate on practice due to external disturbances. After practicing yoga, you will find that your life will become healthier and more fulfilling, and these good feelings will strengthen your determination and confidence to persist in the practice.
