Yoga can be performed anywhere. If we have time for exercises, we should practice yoga in the morning or at night. Or anytime that we are able to find some time, even if it is only for 10 minutes. It will still make a positive difference in our daily lives that we should learn to implement every day.
A balanced mind leads to a healthy body. When we practice yoga on a regular basis, the body and mind become better connected. Yoga is not meant to be competitive; it takes the focus off the self and is ultimately a path to self-realization through physical exercises and meditation.

Seated Forward Bend – With a straight back, bend forward. Try to reach the floor. Bend your knees if you do not touch the floor. Stay in this position for five breaths. One variation is to extend your arms forward. Another variation is to bring your palms together above your head.
Locust Pose – Start on all fours, then extend your knee and raise yourself into the air on either side of your body. Raise your arms in the air as well. Stay in this position for five breaths.
Full Boat Pose – Sit on the floor with legs out. Angle your legs about 45 degrees. Put your feet flat on the floor, then fold over and bring your chin to the knees or ankles. Stay in this position for five breaths. The extended leg will feel stiff at first, but after several repetitions it will get easier.
