The Best time for practising yoga is Early morning or Brahma Muhurta (4.00am - 5.00am) , But due to the lifestyle and work time issues , i recommend to pick a time that is more relaxing and free from any disturbance.Try to Practise yoga in a empty stomach , because if you had eaten after 4 - 6 hours will be taken for the complete digestion of the food materials.

Morning is considered to be the ideal timing for yoga , if not try evening (5.00pm - 6.00pm), try to practice in the same time to make your body adapt to that time for practice.

Step 2 (Choose best place for Practice) :

What is the best place or Environment to Practice Yoga ?

The place where you practice yoga is one of the most important factor to consider , because the environment influence our mood and state of mind, Imagine if you in a library where people using large speakers to listen music, what would happen, the peaceful environment for reading books will become nonsensical place to be around.

Just like that always find a place where you can remain quiet peaceful without any distractions like even a tv, pc, sound system or anything that disturbs you focus on yoga practice.Try to find a open place where the air is pure for pollution,free from unwanted or sounds,If it helps try to practice alone without others distracts you.

Yoga environment should be closer to natural environment, if you cannot find any open space, try to you have plants or small trees around the place of practice.To uplift and eliminate a small disturbing sounds , use your own sound system with gentle clam and relaxing peaceful audio music to enhance the atmosphere of yoga.

Find the right Yoga Mat for your practice which has to be more durable,Grip,less cost with more quality product.Yoga Blocks are more helpful for balancing and other special poses where it aids in comfortable handle of Asanas for the practitioners.

Yoga Straps can be useful for students and people with some issues with back and other conditions.
And the Yoga Foam Roller can be a real help for people with more muscle stiffness and back issues , it helps a great deal for yoga students.

Always try to keep your yoga accessories neat and clean for better maintenance of products.

Step 4 (Meditate after Yoga Session) :

Meditation brings wisdom; lack of meditation leaves ignorance. Know well what leads you forward and what hold you back, and choose the path that leads to wisdom." - Lord Buddha

 Meditation is the most underrated part of the Yoga practice session, and also the meditation is the most important part of the yoga life style.There are various scientific studies backing that the mediation is having vast amount of positive effect in humans.Depression is becoming more common form of harmful mental issue for majority of people in this world, the best solution for curing various mind disease is meditation.

Some research suggest regular practice of meditation can be helpful in emotional intelligence which can be major factor influencing the mental health issues in most people.You should meditate at least 10 - 20 minutes a day for having the benefits.

Can Yoga for Weight Loss be practised in Home ?

So try to find perfect and best options for practising from the internet world.In ancient times real yogis teach their students in the gurukulam, master and apprentices kind of teaching method, But today's the yoga has evolved in to more a institutional level of learning with certifications.

I suggest people to first learn from a proper yoga master , then after certain period you can move your practice at home for convenience.
