The time most suitable for Yoga is in the morning before breakfast when the mind is calm and fresh and the movements can be done with ease and vitality.

The most important things you’ll need to get started – as they say – are a big heart and a small ego.

A person must seek a place of quietude, which is well ventilated, free from dust, insects, unpleasant smell, draught, and moisture. There should be no distraction whatsoever.

Always remember that you should begin with the easy postures and then proceed to the difficult ones. One must follow the graded steps of Yoga.

In the beginning, all movements should be practiced lightly and you must cease to go further if fatigue shows.

Yoga trainers recommend a balanced diet (sattwik). There should be an interval of 4 hours between meals.

One should avoid overeating, fasting or eating once a day. Stale or non-nutritious food, you know, is harmful. Only eat to satisfies one’s appetite.

The clothing should be loose and as comfortable as possible, because maximum amount of the skin should be exposed to air.

Form-fitting cotton/Lycra pants and shirts are the best.

The breathing should be long and deep. The mouth should be closed and inhale and exhale only through the nose.

For lying postures use a woolen carpet, and spread a clean sheet over it.

You can check out some other commercial Yoga accessories, like Yoga belt, foam blocks, Yoga pillows and rubber mats.
