Health Advice on Yoga 

The best time to do any yoga exercise is early morning before having your breakfast, but if time constrains is a matter then the second most convenient time to do yoga is early evening before or at sunset. The most important thing is to do yoga is you are interested and have inclination towards it, don't get too rigid for the timings or else it would never be possible to perform.

Any yoga asana or positions should be performed after 2-3 hours after a meal. Keep in mind to avoid any over stimulating postures just before bedtime. Also do not practice yoga asana when you are too tired, clumsy or sleepy. For a perfect yoga routine asana should be followed by pranayama and meditation. Both pranayama and meditation can be practiced at any time of the day but within 2-3 hours after a meal. These can also be done when there is no sufficient space in the room to perform the asana. For a successful meditation pranayama is a necessary pre-requisite. Yoga Nidra can be done directly after meals or at any time of the day, but keep in mind not to fall asleep while performing a nidra. You can definitely sleep after completing the asana, nidra or meditation.
