Most people prefer to practice yoga early in the morning before going off to work or school. The early morning is a beautiful time because the world is calm and peaceful, and there are very few distractions.

Practicing yoga in the morning can also set the tone for your entire day. So if you generally feel better after doing yoga - - more centered, calm, or filled with energy - - why not allow yourself to begin your day with that orientation?

Also, many people find that going straight from bed into practice is the only way to ensure that they actually do practice on a given day because they find that if they put off practicing until they get home from work, things get in the way and they never get around to it.
