Practice StandardStandard

3–4 focused sessions per week beat sporadic marathon practice.

  • Start Small

    Begin with 15–20 minute sessions and build duration as flexibility improves.

  • Rest and Review

    Notice which poses feel restricted — those are your focus areas for gradual opening.

  • Gradual Progression

    Learn foundational standing poses before attempting inversions or deep backbends.

Safety Notes

  • Listen to your body — never force a pose beyond comfortable range.
  • Inform your instructor of any injuries or medical conditions before class.
