A growing number of people are including yoga in their daily lives to get a balanced life with sound mind and body. Daily practicing of appropriate yoga poses lead an individual to acquire a good health for as long as he or she lives. Hatha yoga, Karma yoga, pranayama, meditation, Kundalini yoga are some of the various forms of Yoga which are generally practiced by common people in daily life.

From ancient times yoga is considered as a Sadhana or soulful practice. For the aspirants who want to start yoga practice, it would be advisable to make a routine for daily practicing. Doctor's advice should be taken in special cases like during pregnancy, after major surgery or during any chronic medical severities. Yoga is beneficial only if it can be practiced regularly and timely. According to the ancient Yoga books the best time to perform yoga is early morning, just before the sunrise. There is no harm in practicing it in other timings but morning is just the perfect time. One can allot a particular time for doing Yoga exercises and follow it in a daily basis. Yoga exercises or asanas are best done on an empty stomach and in a quite place, free from any noise. One can also play some soothing meditation music to enliven the atmosphere as well as enhance the mood.
