Does anyone do either of these daily, and if so is it on a morning, after work or night time? What benefits do you find of either and can they be worked together ie Meditate prior to yoga or other way around?

Been doing Andy Puddicombe's 10 minute daily meditation for a couple of months now. His book 'Get Some Headspace' is well worth a read. Many would say that 10 mins isn't enough, and I do sometimes do more than one sit per day. Being honest, the jury's still out, although if nothing else, it is an opportunity to sit, eyes closed and relaxed on a daily basis. You're supposed to do it first thing in the mornings so that your head is less 'full' but that's not always possible. Having a bad toenail infection, I've avoided yoga classes, but I do need to sort that one out!

I think meditation is something that I need to explore more and work out if I can find the time to do it properly. Yoga is more to help me stretch and stop the "tightness" after exercise ie bike ride but I have found other qualities from it on the mental side so looking to accompany

Been a while since I managed daily yoga, but I am still a big fan.
Start the day with a sun salute.
End the day with a practice (centering, stretching, breathing) finishing with a meditation.
Perfect for mind, body and soul.
She, and others, attend the same yoga classes as me.
Makes it difficult to concentrate on the moves myself.

I like Yoga but I was always a Princess Leia man myself
I prefer Boo Boo.
Don't deny thoughts and emotions at the start. Just acknowlegdge them and "don't give them energy" ....soon they will lessen and then dissapate......then a small void will come - once you get to know this void it will grow and become more familiar.
Yoga in the West is really just stretching - I recommend a one to one teacher who learnt in India, then do it alone, then mediation straight after.

I do yoga, but only weekly with the occasional practice session
Classes are so much better

I was talking to a friend about all this a while back, we were going to go to beginner meditation classes with a place that's in Brighton but runs classes around sussex.
It's all really interesting stuff and something I'd love to explore. Think I might try and start in the autumn.

I also had a look at yoga classes but I didn't want to travel too far and everything in mid sussex seemed to aimed exclusively at women.
