Hello Everyone 👋🏾 

✨Anyone can do this at home. Start with 5 – 10 minutes in the morning or evening.

✨Yoga is about connecting your body, and mind. Connecting with your emotions, and how our emotions impact our physical body.

Best time to practice yoga is in the morning or evening hours. In the morning it will help you be more productive, refreshed, and tune into your thoughts and emotions. In the evening it will help you unwind. Yoga has very positive effects on certain areas in your brain.

Anyone can practice yoga at home, or anywhere. Base your yoga activities on your body constitution, imbalances, and the local climate. Winter time, the Kapha and Vata dominate in our atmosphere. If Kapha is dominant, making you feel lethargic, sluggish, heavy, then move at a faster pace, with quicker breaths, thus intensifying your inner heat. If Vata is dominant, making you feel drained, fatigued, stressed, then move at a slow gentle pace.
