Updated 2026-03-1810 min read

Start with a realistic schedule

Most beginners benefit from 4 short sessions per week instead of long sessions that are hard to sustain. Keep your first month simple: two mobility-focused days and two flow-focused days.

Consistency is more important than intensity during the first 30 days.

Use 10, 20, and 30 minute formats

Prepare three routine lengths so you can still practice on busy days. A 10-minute fallback session keeps momentum when your schedule is tight.

Reserve longer sessions for days when recovery and focus are strong.

Progress safely over 4 weeks

Increase hold times and complexity gradually. Add balance or strength-focused poses only after your baseline routine feels stable and pain-free.

Track completion, mood, and energy to personalize your next week.
