How Much Yoga is required to obtain The Best Results?



HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU PRACTICE YOGA?

Yoga and Yogasana both are different, as Yoga is all about performing various asanas using the physical body, which is referred as Yoga due the ignorance towards understanding of it.

Yoga has nothing about physical, it's all about the inner self which is largely known as Meditation, though largely people doesn't understand what it is, still are mad about it.
Yoga is supposed to be performed when your physical body is aligned in a way it is supposed to be… Yogasana is the best way for aligning the physical body in its very form… Yogasana will show the results in a short period of time as you continue to perform… Yoga the results are going to be instant…

Physically, Yogasana has been shown to improve flexibility, posture, and balance; strengthen bones; and increase muscle strength.
Of course, the amount you need to practice also depends on your goals:
“You can see basic health benefits after just one yoga class such as improved circulation, a sense of relaxation, and mental clarity immediately following (and even during) the class. Obviously, the benefits are increased and prolonged the more you practice.”

Yoga should never be rushed. Everyone’s body adapts at different rates, so trying to “force” progress is nearly always going to end in pain and injury.
“Yoga is not a fitness program, but it is a wellness program.
There are plenty of overall health perks too: Research shows that yoga can decrease inflammation, boost immune system function, and improve symptoms associated with chronic health conditions, such as type 2 diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and cancer.
The practice can also do wonders for your mental health and mood, reducing depression, stress, and anxiety. 
Patience
"You don't get results by focusing on results. You get results by focusing on the actions that produce results." Mike Hawkins
CREATING A REGULAR SCHEDULE
The key is practising regularly though. You’ll gain more from practising for short periods every other day than one long session once per month. Practising often instead of long is nearly always better.
“Yoga is a lifelong practice,” “That's why yoga is much more than just a workout. It's the mind-body connection and awareness that make a yoga practice powerful, beneficial, and sustainable.”



If you want to gain many of the benefits of yoga – including improved strength, concentration and flexibility – 2-3 half hour sessions each week is a good place to start. This isn’t too much that you’ll overstretch your muscles, but is regular enough to provide consistent improvement. 

Ideally, you’ll do some practice on a daily basis – but this may not be possible if you have a hectic schedule than thrice a week is considerably an ideal way.

To improve your sleep, a short session of around 10 minutes before bed can help.

For improving flexibility, one hour-long class per week may be enough to gain some of the benefits. You’ll see much faster progress if you practice more though.

To reverse bone loss due to osteoporosis, 10 minutes daily practice is also enough for noticeable improvement.

Quick tips to remember
- Always warmup and cool down. Engage in spot jogging, walking, running, step ups and stretching

- Engage your core during all poses. Ease in and slowly come out of the asanas

- As a pre-requisite, get your core stronger and work on flexibility

- Communicate with your instructor

- Never lock your joints. Focus on stability

- Seek professional opinion in case you get injured
- And above all, listen to your body and be sensitive to it. Build up a relationship with your body. When your body says no to a certain pose, don’t do it


Yoga is a great form of exercise and has benefits like improving flexibility and strength, and reducing stress  anxiety & hormonal equillibrium. Research has also found that yoga can help improve metabolism, heart rate and respiration. But if performed incorrectly, it can also cause harm.
