Yes, I’m here probably will promote yoga, but also I appreciate those who has their own favorite type of exercises. Don’t get me wrong I still go to the gym, and mix my exercise.
The reason I write this article is coming from my own experience. As much I love routine, I found yoga really help me to build strong healthy routine. It’s not a day kinda thing, but years healthy habits that I always proud of to continue for lifetime.
I start to design my morning routine after I practiced yoga for a year. Start from wakeup early around 6 or 7 AM. Change my pajamas to yoga outfit, watering my baby plants, clean the house and 45–90 minutes yoga. Take a shower, get some morning skin care and put my office outfit on.
This sounds “to good to be true” but yes, I did it mom…
But wait, why yoga? Consider some aspects, I will say, it’s not really killing my body (like when I went to the gym) but I feel energize and ready to continue the day…

It’s understandable, but things to remember is yoga is not a gymnastic. Yoga is a great form of exercise for all ages and levels! and is best enjoyed at a pace that is comfortable for your body. It’s a practice of honoring your body, and respecting your limits.
Instead of giving up, try focusing on small, achievable goals that can help you improve. Start by stretching each day for a few minutes, and gradually increase the time and intensity as you become more comfortable. Try to keep your breathing steady, and focus on the present moment.
