The positive effects of yoga on your body

Practicing yoga helps your body release toxins from its cells, which in turn makes you feel more energetic and ready to tackle your day, but what if you combine yoga with fasting; how will it affect your body? 

It’s no news that Ramadan is ahead of us, and during this month, we fast from food and water from dawn till dusk, and then we break our fasting. However, during fasting, our body is slowly releasing all the harmful toxins which cause the tiredness known as “fasting fatigue.”

But this fatigue doesn’t have to be a fact you live with for 30 days! 

How to combat the fasting fatigue?

By adding yoga to your daily routine, you’ll be able to release these harmful toxins faster, thus, decreasing fasting fatigue, feeling more energetic, and continue with your daily activities without going into a slumber phase.

Ramadan teaches us one important lesson, self-discipline; it empowers us to restrain ourselves from the activities that harm us and focus our energy on those which will make us healthier and happier.

And so does yoga, it takes self-discipline to come to the mat day in and day out, but the results are almost immediate, from how your body feels to how deep your breath becomes, all the way to reaching a more peaceful state of mind. 

That is why we recommend taking up yoga in Ramadan because not only will it make fasting easier for you, but you’ll be able to cultivate your self-discipline through fasting and bring it to elevate the health of your body and soul with yoga.

When should you practice yoga, and which type of yoga classes we recommend for you during Ramadan?

We recommend that you either practice yoga early in the morning or 2 hours before or after iftar.  

While for before iftar, we recommend classes that are usually more slow paced like: Gentle flow or Hatha 

Or if you would like something more fast paced with a higher intensity then we recommend: Vinyasa, Aerial yoga, or Fit & Flex

As for after the iftar, you can pick and choose any class of your liking to get your body flowing and elevate your energy levels. 

Let’s recap!

At the end of the day, practicing yoga in all its forms will help decrease your fasting fatigue by releasing the toxins from your body faster; which in turn will boost your energy levels to help you power through the day knowing that your body is taken care of.

Thank your body for taking care of you all these years by taking care of it now.
