Start your yoga practice in the mornings. Early yoga can get your whole body moving and make you pretty active. Make sure to finish with Savasana and add a few minutes of pranayama or meditation to your program (Corpse Pose). The Kapal (skull) asanas in yoga are said to stimulate the brain. We advise the following asanas that direct blood flow to the head for this reason.
Before eating breakfast, get on your yoga mat and practice some simple breathing techniques before beginning asanas. The following asanas suggested by Himalayan Siddhaa Akshar, Founder, Akshar Yoga Institutions, Himalaya Yoga Ashrama, and World Yoga Organisation, can be practiced with up to three sets of repetitions held for 30 seconds each.
Sukshma Vyayam – Warm up
The Siddha Walk Technique
The Siddha walk is performed by moving from south to north while tracing figure eight. Walking in the shape of an 8 along this path from south to north will take 21 minutes. Once you have completed the required number of laps, you must turn around and walk for an additional 21 minutes from north to south.

Other benefits of an early morning yoga practice are that your metabolism is boosted, and your digestive system is activated to assist nutrients moving through your body more easily.
