There is no form of immediate harm done to the body if yoga has been discontinued. Yoga is a gentle form of exercise and its benefits are reaped through the daily practice and performance of yoga. However the discontinuation of yoga, no form of health disorders or problems will arise. In order to gain the maximum benefits from the practice of yoga, it is advisable that one should continue and practice it for at least 15 minutes a day. Yoga helps to boost immunity power and keep the body free from all kinds of disorders and troubles. It is possible that a prolonged absence of yoga may lead to some disorders, if the individual is not practicing any form of exercise and is leading unhealthy eating habits. A combination of unhealthy lifestyle patterns paves the way to an unhealthy body, and to prevent such an occurrence one must exercise daily.

Yoga must not be looked upon as a chore, nor should it be taken for granted. Not only will the benefits of yoga be negated by taking it for granted, the pressure of practicing yoga will also diminished if it is looked upon only as an exercise. Yoga must be thoroughly enjoyed as it helps to relax the mind and body and no form of pressure of stress must be applied while performing it. All the elements and yoga are gentle and do not conform to any kind of strict rules and regulations. Moreover, with the daily practice of yoga one will be able to achieve perfect balance between the mind and body. Most yogic practitioners look forward to practicing yoga daily, in order to reap the benefits of being fresh and enlightened all day. Yogasanas, Pranayama and deep meditation techniques do not usually take much time, and can be safely done in the wee hours of the morning before the hustle and bustle of life sets in. Practicing yoga early morning can help to bring about a fresh outlook to life each day.

A discontinuation of any form of exercise coupled with poor eating habits and a bad diet is likely to lead to some kind of metabolic disorder. However, just by discontinuing the practice of yoga is not likely to bring about any kind of immediate health problem or trouble. The advantages of yoga can be gained solely through the practice and discipline of a daily yoga schedule.
