The amount of time you practice yoga depends on your goals, your body, and how much experience you have. However, if you’re just beginning to practice, you can safely start with 20 minutes of yoga per session. This amount is perfect for beginners as it’s long enough to get you feeling relaxed and calm but short enough to not feel like a chore.
Start off slow.
When it comes to yoga, it’s always best to start slow. Beginners should not do more than 20 minutes per session. You should always listen to your body and not force your way into poses you aren’t ready for. Strive to practice yoga at least five times a week for a month to see any results.
Do a few minutes every day.
Beginners should start with 20 minutes of yoga every day. However, it’s important to start slowly and not try to do more than you can. If you have any injuries, be sure to speak with your doctor before doing yoga.
Always listen to your body.
It depends on your body and your goals. Beginners should not exceed 20 minutes per session, as the body needs time to recover. Focus on the poses that feel the most challenging and do them for several minutes before moving on to the easier poses. If you feel any discomfort or pain, stop the practice immediately.
Don't push yourself too hard.
Your body is more susceptible to injury the more you stretch it beyond what it was used to doing, so don’t push yourself too hard or too far beyond your current level. Try to do between 20-30 minutes of yoga a week and take it slow. If you find that it feels too challenging or that your body is sore the next day, try a shorter version of the same poses.
Don't judge yourself.
People all vary in terms of what level of yoga is right for them, so it’s not a question that should ever be asked. While there are many great resources out there that will tell you the number of minutes to do, the truth is that no one can tell you how much yoga is “right” for you. Yoga is a practice that you do to feel good, and it’s not something that you do because you feel bad about yourself. You should never compare yourself to anyone else and you shouldn’t judge yourself for the level of yoga that you’re doing.
Stay consistent.
Beginners should aim to do at least 20 minutes of yoga every day. This will help them to stay strong and flexible, and will prevent injuries. If you are just beginning to practice yoga, it is best to start off slowly, building up your strength and endurance.
Build up your routine slowly.
We recommend that beginners start with 30 minutes of yoga a few times a week. If you’re used to a more active lifestyle, you might need to start with less time, like 15 minutes or even 10, to make sure you’re not overdoing it. Focus on the poses and breathing, and if you feel comfortable, add more time.
Conclusion
A beginner should try to do between 20 and 30 minutes of yoga. You don’t have to do the entire 30 minutes immediately. Set a goal for yourself and do just a little more than that each time you practice. If you can’t manage to do 30 minutes at once, then break it down into several sessions of 10-15 minutes each.
