after hard exercise yoga is healthy or not?


This is one of the common queries of many people about when they should do yoga : before or after workout. How much time should they wait before switching between the two? Which one should be done before; yoga or workout/exercise? Well today you will have your doubts cleared and all of your questions will be answered in this article. 

Well the answer depends on one's personal goal. You may want to feel active throughout the day or you may want to remain calm and composed throughout the day.

If your goal is to feel active throughout the day

In this case you should practice yoga before doing a workout. As it helps you to feel more active throughout the day. If you do workout in the evening then prefer doing yoga after workout as it will relax your body and mind and will help you to get good sleep which is very vital for recovery.


If your goal is  to remain calm and composed throughout the day

In this case you should practice yoga after hard exercise. Yoga will help you to attain a calm and composed state of your body and mind instantly after the hard workout which will continue throughout the day.


Yoga poses that you should avoid after hard workout

However there are a few exceptions which I would like to mention here. There are few yoga poses like sirsasana, sarvangasana, halasana, and other very difficult asanas that should be avoided immediately after doing hard workout when your breath is high. You should only practice these asanas/poses once your breath becomes normal.

Did God create nature?

 No nature ( elementary particles of matter ) is eternal. Nature is not completely created by God. It is even accepted by modern science(conservation of mass). Because there has to be something (quark, electron etc) in the beginning from which all other things were made ( Origin of Life on Earth ). Its a myth that god has created everything in nature. As the humans can not create new particles of matter but can make different things from the available matter in the same way god can not create elementary particle but had just devised a system that is nature, to originate and support life. How many things are eternal in this universe? Elementary particles of matter : It is self evident from the fact that there has to be something in the start and the start can never be from nothing.
