How much time do I need to set aside for yoga practice?

There isn’t a template for the perfect yoga practice that would suit everyone. It’s more important that you’re consistent with your yoga routine than whether you dedicate 15, 30 or 60 minutes to it. 

If you’re a beginner and just starting yoga at home, it’s best to start small and establish the habit – 15 or 20 minutes three times a week is enough. Then, when you’ve developed your routine, you can increase your yoga sessions to 30-40 minutes or more if time allows.

A substantial study of yoga practitioners revealed that people who dedicate some time to yoga five times a week reap the most benefits with better health, sleep, energy levels, and overall well-being. Yet, five is not the magic number here – the study found that regular practice is more important than anything else when it comes to benefits. That means beginners gain as much from two weekly practices as advanced yogis from doing Yoga almost daily.
