FAQ

Traditionally, it is ideal time to practice is at sunrise or sunset. Most people prefer to practice early in the morning because during this time the body and mind are still fresh and quiet and there are few external disturbances 

One should wait at least four hours before practicing after a full meal. The two main reasons for that are first, the stomach and intestines are full and heavy after a meal which restricts movement.

Props make it possible for every person to enhance their Sadhana (practice of yoga), regardless of their physical limitations. 

The use of props allows one to: 

– Perform difficult asanas independently 

– Achieve and maintain correct alignment

– Understand the asanas on a deeper level 

– continue practicing despite of chronic or temporary ailments and improve their condition.
