The Minimum Viable Product of a Daily Yoga Practice

I went to elementary school in New Delhi so I've been doing yoga since I was five years old. 

I have spent thousands of mornings on the mat.

Over the 10 years I've been a yoga teacher, I've taught thousands of students from almost a hundred countries.

I know how to optimize yoga to get the maximum benefits from the practice.

You simply do not need to spend 90 minutes 2 x week sweating next to others in a studio class.

Most yoga teachers say you need to practice for an hour at least 2 x week to experience the benefits of yoga, but they are wrong.

I can prove that frequency matters more than duration.

If you optimize your yoga practice, you get the same benefits in less than half the time.

With a consistent 3-5 x week practice of 15 minutes, you will notice measurable differences to your health and happiness.

Don't take my word for it. Try it yourself!

I never prescribe more than 15 minutes of yoga per day to my students.

Minimal Yoga Gets Maximum Benefits

We know high-intensity interval training in 8-12 minutes gives you better results than 45-60 minutes of cardiovascular exercise.

Short, 15-minute daily practices are superior because:

 1. Yoga is cumulative: Strength and flexibility develop with repetition over time.

 2. Repetition: Creates new neural pathways building the physical strength of the mind-body connection.
 
 3. Relaxation Response: Frequency is more important than duration.
