I had the same issues, especially when I first started. It would be almost painful if I tried to do yoga in the AM & would often deter me..so I would do it as a wind down before bed & found my muscles were looser from the day & it wasn\u2019t painful. Usually what I do nowadays is I\u2019ll do lighter bed-side stretches in the morning to wake my body up, but not exactly yoga. I\u2019ll sit in bed cross legged then reach out as far as I can until I can feel it in my lower back, then rotate my legs & do it again a few times..sit on the edge of the bed & do some side stretches & spine twists, & seated cat/cows..I also do some quick exercises for my feet at this time that my chiro gave me to keep them feeling good all day, then end it with a standing toe touch. But that\u2019s it! I won\u2019t do any longer yoga until later in the day because it can take longer for muscles to warm up & this is normal, it\u2019s quite normal for them to even wake up to being able to do deeper stretches during a yoga session..all depends on how your body is doing that day. Since I do those morning stretches every day as part of my wake up routine they don\u2019t get missed..but since the yoga might be later in the day I set a reminder on my phone to ring for exercise/yoga. I also keep a running check list in my agenda to mark off the days I did it & will usually reward myself with a little extra treat every 7 days straight done. Could always use a wall calendar though if you like! As for times..I try to be fluid with it since my days can change or be hectic sometimes, so as long as it\u2019s done between a set time for me that\u2019s all that matters, but if picking a set hour works better than feel free. I just find setting a block of time aside allows for more time to do longer sessions on days your body feels it\u2019s best & is performing better, & if it\u2019s not then can just end early. Locked in times always made me feel bad if I didn\u2019t hit them on the dot & sometimes would run into other plans of mine that way. Hope that helps give you some ideas!<\/div>\n<\/div>
