lying down to rest or relax when you are tired is very beneficial. A yoga mat on the floor doesn’t provide a lot of padding so many people might find it uncomfortable initially.

Yes, it will helps in back problem. If u r not doing yoga then if u sit n do chanting then lying down it will more beneficial. When we be on positive mindset and do any kriya it absorbs energy. I would recommend not to share yoga mat to everyone.that makes difference.

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 .
