Tips on how to develop a morning yoga practice

Set the right morning alarm

Choose a realistic early wake-up time for your situation. It's good to be ambitious, but an alarm that's too early may cause you to stay in bed endlessly if you haven't slept enough! Also, change your alarm clock ringtone to your favorite song. Try to put your morning self in a good mood and try to keep that up all day!

Prepare your morning clothes ahead of time

Prepare your clothes for your early morning workout the next day a night ahead of time, so you have one less excuse to stay in bed.

Continue the same early wake-up time

Waking up early on time every day is beneficial and reinforces your own biological clock, which puts you in a virtuous cycle. It will also become much easier to separate your body from your bedpan each day. Even if you don't have a morning workout scheduled for a particular day, keep up the habit of waking up early and on time.

Don't be a bedwetter

Get up when you wake up, don't sleep back in. If you accidentally wake up early, please also get up (not in the case of waking up in the middle of the night, but waking up a little earlier than the alarm).

Prepare your pre-workout add-ons ahead of time

Choose foods that you can eat as add-ons (protein powder, fruit, honey, etc.) right after you wake up. Forcing yourself to get up earlier to prepare your morning pre-workout addition is not a good idea. If you're a morning exerciser, the process of preparing food gives you more time to procrastinate or change your mind.

Set a milestone

Setting a clear milestone will keep you more motivated. You'll notice changes in yourself, and the joy of reaching a short-term goal will motivate you to keep going. Slowly, the monotony of practicing day after day will dissipate and be replaced by enjoyment and progress.
