I have been doing Hatha Yoga for about a year now as a way to improve my meditation and get a little bit healthier. I would love to learn some Pranayama. Where do you do this? Does your teacher have a link? TDM Hi Sai.

For the past few months, I've been waking up early and using the first couple of hours of the day for an early morning run, pranayama and a bit of hatha yoga. This has made a considerably positive impact on my lifestyle and my mental peace. I feel energetic, positive and mindful throughout the day. In fact, starting the day in this manner, has made me more productive - because I seem to use the rest of the day in a more aware, mindful manner. Initially, it was a struggle. But over time, it has become a part of my daily routine and there are very few days that I don't get up feeling fresh. Pranayama has been the trigger for these life changes. Ten minutes of breathing exercises in the morning will make a world of difference to the way we wake up and feel fresh throughout the day. Nice post Dailyminder!

I thoroughly agree that waking up with a purpose is a great motivator for actually getting up, and staying up. Although there's nothing better than sleeping in (I've realized recently that it's one of my favorite past-times) waking up becomes much easier to tackle when there's something to look forward to. And as difficult as it is, waking up early is actually incredibly gratifying, because you have time to relax and have some coffee and toast. There's nothing like watching early morning TV.

It's amazing how tight the muscles can be in the morning and stretching them gets me ready (both physically and mentally) to begin the day.
