Benefits of the Sun Salutation...
1. On health
Indeed, morning yoga has non-negligible health benefits, especially when practicing a sedentary profession. A session of a few minutes is all the easier to fit into your schedule as soon as you wake up. Thus, we arrive at the office in good shape and ready to attack the day! The Sun Salutation benefits our entire body, from the heart to the joints to the digestive organs. Since it is a short and slow session, it is quite possible to practice as soon as you wake up, on an empty stomach, and it is even recommended.
2. On emotions and happiness
Practicing yoga early in the morning also allows you to approach the day more serenely. Our emotions behave like a wave of energy from when we get up to when we go to bed. By practicing in the morning, we learn to regulate this energy from the first hours to control it throughout the day.
Renowned for its many benefits, yoga considerably improves our mood by acting directly on endorphins, the happiness hormone. By improving your well-being, yoga will therefore have a positive influence on your self-confidence, your productivity and your relationship with others.
If you think you're not a morning person and can't get up that early, there's no secret. If you are a person who needs lots of hours of sleep, just go to bed earlier. Your body will get used to it very quickly. And you will become addicted very quickly when you feel the benefits, from day one!
