According to experts, vinyasa yoga is packed full of health benefits: think increased flexibility and muscle strength, greater happiness, increased mental focus, and better sleep. It also regulates your breathing and helps the brain release important endorphins, leading to relaxation and decreased anxiety.

It is worth noting that if you practice first thing in the morning, before even eating breakfast, you’ll also benefit from having an empty stomach. Twists and challenging arm balances come easier when you’re not competing with digestion.

With proven energy-boosting properties, too, it seems fair to say that yoga in the morning sets the tone for the day, giving you time to set goals and reflect on the ways you’ll deal with challenges posed by your family, friends and co-workers.

Should you, like Meghan, incorporate a yoga routine into your morning?

Well, no one time is right for anyone to practice, so the best thing to do is experiment: dedicate yourself to a morning practice for a week. Be diligent and see if it adds to your quality of life. The next week, switch it up and try for a nightly yoga practice. You may find benefits in both and that some days a certain time works better than others.

Essentially, it’s your practice – take ownership of it.
