When to practise
Guidelines for practice require mindfulness. Practice on a somewhat empty stomach, allowing hours after a meal. Choose a time of personal convenience, integrating practice without neglecting obligations to family and society. Do not become individualistic, as neglecting duties creates unhappiness. Within twenty-four hours, find time for yourself when duties are complete and you feel relaxed. Ensure a comfortable space with good air, never practicing in haste. This approach fosters inner harmony, making you aware of body, breath, and thoughts in a secure place.
"Therefore, a practitioner should choose a time according to personal convenience."
"Never practice in a hurry. Hurry in yoga? There is no competition and no challenges when you are alone."
