Hi Good morning friends. My fasting sugar at 6 a.m was 140. After some Yoga by 8 a.m it was 186. I drank only water.

well that is quite common that the morning blood glucose raises when being active in any way untill one eat some breakfast, some people do need breakfast to stop their blood glucose raising, in others it stops by it self, maybe it would not be as extreme if you were on a continued fasting regimen like fasting for many days.
 
Dr Jason Fung sums it up nicely in his blog

The Dawn Phenomenon, or higher blood sugars during fasting does not mean you are doing anything wrong. It’s a normal occurrence. It just means that you have more work to do.

Some people have normal blood sugars except for the Dawn Phenomenon. This still indicates that there is too much sugar stuffed into their liver. They need to keep burning down that sugar. It means there is much more work to be done before they are cleared of their diabetes.

Think about it this way. The Dawn Phenomenon is simply moving sugar from body stores (liver) into the blood. That’s it. If your body stores are filled to bursting, then you will expel as much of that sugar as possible. By itself it is neither good nor bad. It is simply a marker that your body has too much sugar. Solution? Simple. Either don’t put any sugar in (LCHF) or burn it off (Fasting). Even better? LCHF + IF.
