It is said that treating our body like a temple makes us the god or goddess of that temple. We can then easily understand how important it is to take care of it, to keep it clean from the inside out. During yoga retreats or Ayurveda retreats we are taught a healthy routine for our body and practicing yoga in the morning is one of the most important routines for the day. In fact, yoga offers many advantages in the treatment and prevention of health problems. One of the major health issues we all face today is the stress. It is no longer to be proven that yoga in the morning can help minimize stress hormones and improve the sense of well-being. We also suffer from a lack of movement and morning practice can help us keep the body active.
In the morning, we often tend to move the moment when we have to get out of bed for a few minutes … We lack the energy necessary to fully experience the new day. Yet, after a night of sleep we should be joyful: we can carry out projects, see loved ones, develop new ideas, dedicate ourselves to our passions. Of course, social obligations, setbacks, unexpected work, can undermine enthusiasm and create some discontent. It is precisely when we feel that we lack the energies that it becomes essential to draw them from our inner reserves. Morning practice will be of great help to us. 10 or 15 minutes will be enough to perceive the profound benefits that this activity offers us. It is a special moment, a kind of ritual that will help us awaken the latent energies in us.
Asana and Pranayama, in fact, help to fully awaken the senses and increase awareness. In addition, practicing Yoga in the morning stimulates the nervous system, improves mindfulness, stimulates blood circulation, warms the muscles and relieves joint tension.
Let’s then make the most of our wellness holidays and apply what we have learned, trying to give ourselves the necessary care to obtain a healthy body, a happy mind and a calm soul by combining yoga asanas, meditation, pranayama and a healthy diet.
