Yoga and vipassana practice - which to do first?
-
When deciding whether to practice yoga or Vipassana meditation first, it can be helpful to consider your own physical and mental state. If you find that your body is feeling tight or restless, starting with a gentle yoga practice can help you release physical tension and prepare your body for sitting in meditation. On the other hand, if you are feeling mentally scattered or overwhelmed, beginning with a Vipassana meditation session can help calm your mind and cultivate mindfulness, which can then support a more focused and present yoga practice. Ultimately, both practices complement each other beautifully, so it may be beneficial to experiment with different sequences and see what works best for you personally. Trust your intuition and listen to what your mind and body need in the moment.
