Maharishi Ayurveda recommends exercising in accord with the natural cycles of the day. The best time of the day is in the morning, between 6am and 10am. This is the daily Kapha time, which is the least likely time to disturb Vata and Pitta doshas through your energetic exercise. Pitta time of the day, between 10am and 2pm, is not a good time for exercise, which may interfere with digestion. During Vata time of the day, between 2pm and 6pm, our body naturally tends to rest after the day’s activity, so after exercising at those hours make sure to rest properly.
