 Yoga can be a great tool to calm your mind and body:

• Give it at least half an hour daily:  For all-around physical and mental health, it is necessary to practice any form of yoga, starting with at least 15 to 30 minutes a day. To begin with, you can start learning some yoga breathing techniques. Any form of yoga has a strong focus on the correct breathing techniques. Breathing helps you stay focused, calm, and find a balance in your life. Experts state that you can feel the difference within three to four days of practicing proper breathing techniques.

• Get Proper Training Under an Expert: Yoga should be practiced under the guidance of an expert. Although most of the yoga poses are safe to practice, it's very important to take into consideration if there are any prevailing medical conditions before you commence. An individual can start by learning the fundamentals of asanas(yoga poses), maybe in a live session, and gradually practice at home. 

• Anjanayoga provides yoga lessons based in North Carolina. Yoga has taught her to be happy with simple things in life and let go of what she cannot control. She would like to spread the message that yoga is not just a physical form of exercise, but it also develops a strong connection with your mind when you shift into different Asanas. 

• Be Consistent and Be Patient: Most people like to undertake an energizing yoga practice in the morning and a calming restorative practice in the evening; the core idea is to form a consistent routine. Also, most yoga poses require considerable strength and agility. So, patience remains the key mantra, so give yourself time to reach a particular level of expertise. 

• Practice all kinds of Yoga: There are many forms of yoga, the popular ones are Hatha yoga, Ashtanga yoga, Bikram yoga, Iyengar yoga, Kundalini yoga, Sivananda yoga, Restorative yoga, and Yin yoga, among others. The definition and interpretation may vary; however, most of these yoga poses encompass balance, proper stretching techniques, breathing, meditation, centering the mind and soul. Yoga is not a one-size-fits-all practice, do your research before embarking on your journey towards physical and mental healing and remain dedicated to it. 

Ending Note
The root of sticking to any fitness regime or letting it go lies in the energy one has. In today's hectic life, we all are running to reach work on time and get back home, eat and sleep. Lack of time is often cited as an excuse for undertaking any form of exercise, but if we have the energy to live up to the hustle-bustle, we can find time to practice yoga at least 4-5 times a week.
