Re: Yoga, Meditation, & BFL Training???

[Guest guest]

I generally do my yoga and meditation first thing in the morning-

around 5:30 for about a half hour. I primarily do my BFL style

workouts later on in the day when I need an energy boost- like after

work around 4. Supposedly yoga is best done in the morning...thats

what all those " gurus " say anyways...

Yoga in the morning is a great way to start your day. I've found, though, that

I

actually split my yoga/meditation routines. My strength training and

flexibility

yoga, which is rather challenging, I like for a morning work out. In the

evening

I try to take at least 15-20 minutes for a good stretch and that's a good time

to

bring in meditation and breathing exercise. It just works all the kinks out and

helps to slow your brain down, which makes for better sleep. Note though,

falling asleep on the yoga mat is not the most comfortable of sleeping places.

Just thought I'd mention it.

Good luck,

Hi jena, I'll keep this in mind. I'm trying to plan my day so that

every 2-3 hours I'm doing something physical or that promotions

relaxation. Trying to retrain the body and mind to take on new habits

takes a lot of work. But at the same time I don't want to over do it.

I need to know if it is always best to have breakfast before the

early morning workouts or an hour or so after? thanks
