Will my health improve when I practice yoga?

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
Yoga does help in overcoming health problems. One needs to note that health is not just a disease-free state but a state of physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. Diseases may be dormant, interrupted or in a fully active stage and an individual is able to detect the disease depending upon his/her sensitivity. Most individuals realise that they have a problem only when the symptoms start showing.

How much should I practice Iyengar yoga?

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
The more one practices, the more benefit and improvements one will get; the rewards correspond to the effort put in. However, a daily routine, even if only for a few minutes, is more beneficial than one long session weekly.

often as you can. There is no hard and fast rule about how many classes per week is the right number. In the beginning it's important to take only as many classes as your body is ready for. Many people can start taking a class every day and certainly that will accelerate the benefits, but if you can only make 2 classes a week or that's all your body is ready for then that would be right for you.
