Is it necessary to clean bowel before yoga asana?

I recently started doing yoga exercises like surya namaskar,and other exercise and at last I do kapalbhati and anulom vilom.

I do not have fixed timing for bowel cleaning. I tried to clean my bowel before at morning before starting yoga. But I think my bowel do not clean well. I think my bowel cleans well in later part of the day rather than early morning.

Is it dangerous to do yoga without bowel cleaning?

Hello

It is ok to do yoga without clearing your bowels if you do not have chronic constipation. However, with regular yoga practice and healthy nutritious diet, you should be able to clear your bowel after you get up and before doing yoga.

Hope this helps.
