Why yoga in the morning?

Yoga is a millennia-old philosophical teaching from India that combines physical exercises (asanas), breathing exercises (pranayamas), meditation and relaxation exercises. There are more than 90 different styles of yoga, and the composition of each element varies depending on the style.

  2. Metabolism and digestion benefit: If you practice a few asanas as soon as you get up, you can not only look forward to more energy for the day. The metabolism is also stimulated and supported throughout the day.
  3. Immune system support: The stretching, stretching and twisting during the yoga flow in combination with targeted breathing is also said to have a positive effect on the immune system, at least that's what some studies have shownStudies.

  1. Go to bed on time, so that you are really well rested when you have to get up.
  2. If possible, always get up at the same time– yes, even on weekends.
  3. Find “your” alarm clock: Maybe you need a light alarm clock (here at Amazon*), a radio alarm clock – or possibly just a super loud alarm clock.
  4. When your alarm goes off, you should get up immediately– the snooze button is taboo.
  5. Stretch and stretch in bed, until you're ready to get out of bed.
