The Sanskrit word Yuji, which means union, is the root of the word “Yoga”. Yoga is a mind/body exercise that combines physical movement, precise breathing, and mental peace.

Yoga is for everyone, regardless of their age, gender, or lifestyle.

You can treat your body like a temple and become the god or goddess of that temple. It is essential to keep it clean. What better way to start your day than practicing yoga every morning?

Yoga can help you prevent and treat many health problems. Stress is one of the biggest health issues we face today. Studies have shown that yoga can reduce stress hormones and increase productivity.

Let’s take a look at the many benefits of yoga, especially morning practice.

1. Get Rid Of The Morning Muscle Stiffness:
Yoga asanas and stretching exercises can be used to loosen muscles and joints, reduce stiffness, and allow blood flow. When we sleep, our muscles relax and connective tissue and bodily fluids build up. These tissues can cause stiffness, and should be removed after waking up. Avoiding stretching and doing exercises in the morning can cause fluid buildup, thickening, which can cause stiffness, tight muscles, or joint pains.

2. Let go of the stress from the previous day:
Giving yourself an hour or half an an hour each morning to do yoga and get moving will help your body, including your nervous system, get back on track. You will be able to relax and let go of any stress from the previous day. Reducing stress hormones can improve our health and well-being. It also strengthens your immune system.

3. Keeps Your Breathing On Track:
Pranayam, or “Breathing Exercise”, is a technique that allows you to control your breathing. The ability to expel as much air from your lungs as possible has been extensively researched by “Pranayam”. This could be good for all your organs.

4. Happy Hormones Released:
Did you ever feel happy or sad within a matter of minutes? Those are the hormones in your body. The hormones play an important role in our bodies. They regulate our moods, and certain hormones such as dopamine or endorphin have been shown to increase happiness and positive feelings. Meditation in the morning has been shown to increase dopamine production. This can lead to happy, productive days.

5. Take your time:
It’s important to get at least 10 minutes of “me time” each day. Studies have shown that it improves productivity and provides mental peace so you can start your day off right. Just doing yoga poses in the morning can give you inner peace and help you get ready to take on the day. It’s a way to show how much you take care of yourself, no matter how long it takes.

6. Digestive System Care:
Many studies have shown that the brain and gut are interconnected. Your body can’t absorb and digest food properly the next day, which can lead to other health problems and even impact your daily intake. Yoga in the morning increases metabolism and helps the digestive system eliminate waste products. The belly is where peace and calm begin!

7. Say Goodbye to Caffeine
Your mind and body might not be in harmony after you wake up in the morning. This is why we crave our morning coffees. Your body may feel stiff and tight, as we discussed earlier. Suryanamaskar, also known as Sun Salutations, is a sequence that consists of 12 yoga asanas. This asana not only heals your body, but also gives you energy and positivity that can help you boost your work performance right away. You can say goodbye to your Ek coffee.

8. Focus and concentrate more effectively
You can calm down by practicing morning yoga. It improves mental focus and concentration. Your brain receives lots of oxygen when you control your breathing. This will improve your mental clarity, and allow you to be more productive at work.
