Don't just do yoga instead transmit yoga

Meditation does work, but if it is accompanied by asanas and pranayama together. The best form of meditation for young people is Trataka. It helps in increasing attention and concentration power.

Hi. I am 23 years old female. It's been a year since I started performing this new asana routine but I still feel quite tired after performing it. I start with warm up exercises of the joints for 10 minutes(like rotating my feet,wrists,shoulders and neck. Also some butterfly.) This is followed by Tadasana 1minute, Trikonasana on both sides 1 minute, suryanamaskar 2 times( where I hold each pose for 10 seconds), ushtrasana 1 minute, janushirshasana with both legs 1 minute, pashchimotasan 1 minute, upvistha konasana, halasana 2 minutes, sarvangasana twice for 2 minutes and finally shavasana for 5 minutes. Is this too much?
dear anchal only do rotation and surya namaskar for 10 times and than do shavasa for 10 to 15 acc to your body carving for rest and you can do yog nidra also it takes 20 minutes it will surely help you .
