Yoga is a tool to keep your energy level high,

so if you decided to go for it, you’d rather

continue. Otherwise, you may feel unbalanced,

ungrounded, and upset. It’s much better to

have a regular self-practice and use group

classes as an extra bonus to your core

practice.

The other thing is that Sunday isn’t the best

time for rest. According to Vedic Astrology,

Sunday is the day ruled by the planet Sun

which generously supplies us with active

masculine energy.

It’s a perfect day to start new things. Logically

speaking, our working week should start on

Sunday and not on Monday. Since we’re full of

energy, our bodies want to exercise.

It’s a good idea to do a few rounds of Sun

Salutation to connect with the energy of the

Sun. We may also like to work on core

muscles, for it’s the belly area where our inner

Sun abides.

If you want to have a rest from yoga, you’d

better choose Saturday. In Israel, religious

people don’t even answer the phone on

Saturdays. And it’s not without a reason.
