If you’re just getting started in the world of yoga, congratulations for joining a growing hobby.

Many people do yoga consistently throughout their entire life and they are able to reap great benefits because of it.

No matter how old you are, though, starting yoga at any time will improve extremely beneficial.

As a beginner, of course, there are certain limitations you’ll need to contend with.

Failing to acknowledge these limitations can actually cause you to get hurt, so take them seriously.

If you’re wondering how often you should do yoga as a beginner, that is among the most common questions beginners have when they start a yoga routine.

And the answer is: it depends. If you are already an athletic and active individual, you could definitely get into yoga up to 7 days a week–if that fits your lifestyle and goals.

Even a complete beginner could manage a daily session, but it will come down to your endurance, activity level, and the style of yoga you choose to follow.

In reality, there are many different styles of yoga that you can get involved in.

They range from very easy and relaxed to fat-burning cardio.

Chances are, you will end up trying out a variety of different styles.

This will help you explore what’s out there and find which styles you like best.

And, by using many different styles, you can make the most of your yoga practice. For instance, you might choose to do a more relaxing style like restorative yoga.

If you want to get your heart rate up, Bikram or Vinyasa could prove to be the right fit.

You’ll probably mix things up often depending on your goals and routine for the day.

So, if you’re trying to decide how often you should get into yoga practice, the answer will really be up to you.

Are you trying to lose weight? If so, think about your endurance and activity level.

Commit to between 1 and 6 sessions per week to make the most of the fat-burning potential.

On the other hand, if you’re just wanting to use yoga as a way to reset your mind and body, you might want a nightly session or just one long session on the weekend.

There is no wrong answer. Listen to your body and be careful not to over do it.

How Long Does it Take to Get Good at Yoga?

For many people, yoga is something that is incorporated into the daily routine.

But, even if you only plan to use yoga as part of a workout routine or as an activity done occasionally to relax, it is something that takes time to get good at.

How long it takes will depend on a few factors, and what you define as “good” in your books.

1) How Active Are You?

Your current activity and flexibility levels will heavily influence how long it takes you to become “good” at yoga.

If we’re basing skill level on the number of advanced poses a person is able to do correctly, then becoming an advanced yogi could take years of practice.

But, people who are already relatively fit and flexible will have a major head start.

2) What Style Do You Want To Do?

Some styles of yoga are much more involved and precise than others.

Hatha yoga, for instance, is very basic. It just focuses on the physical postures and puts less emphasize on the spiritual side of things. Iyengar yoga, on the other hand, is extremely precise. Instructors spend years learning in order to master the movements and help guide students through the proper flow of poses.

Most people recovering from an injury will choose Iyengar yoga for this reason, and it will take a very long time to reach an “advanced” level in this style.

3) What Are Your Goals?

Every one has different benchmarks that they measure their progress by.

For instance, if you would consider yourself to be successful after losing so much weight, then it could take months for you to get to your goal using yoga.

On the other hand, if you will measure your progress in yoga based on your flexibility, it might take between 2-8 weeks to see the results.

It all comes down to how you measure success.

All of these things considered, you can definitely sit down and get a good estimate of how long it will take you to advance in the world of yoga.

In a few weeks of practice, you could definitely be edging out of a beginner level class and into something more intermediate if you put in the effort.
