The best time to practice yoga is in the early morning before taking the breakfast (ideal time: before sunrise). Doing exercises in the mornings make oneself more healthier, lively and brings them tejas (brilliance).
NetraSnan ( Sanksrit: नेत्रस्नान् ; Netra = eye , Snan = bath/washing) is a simple eye cleansing technique that revives energy, brings freshness of mind and prevents/cures ailments of the eyes.
Procedure for doing Netra Snan is given below:
Following routine can be followed before practicing yoga in the mornings.
1) Once you got up from the bed, cleanse your bowels (if you have the sensation to do so, or else you can perform Shanka Prakshalan cleansing technique to clean your bowels) and brush your teeth.
2) Lean comfortably before a wash basin/sink.Take a mouth full of water so that your cheeks are bulged out.
3) Open your eyes widely. Take a hand full of clean water and gently splash it on one of the wide open eyes. Take another hand full of water and gently splash it on the other eye. Do this for five times alternately. Once you are done, spit out the water in your mouth.
