How much should I practice Iyengar yoga?
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. A daily routine also builds it’s own momentum and encourages one to continue with yoga rather than bursts of irregular but intense practice. Once a regular practice has been established it is possible to increase the duration of the sessions depending on enthusiasm and other commitments. There is no real maximum limit to practice. As a guide, trainee teachers are expected to practice at least 2 hours daily. B.K.S. Iyengar at over 80 years of age still does four hours daily Asana practice and an hour Pranayama. An intense student will be sincere and devoted in his practice. In class it is the duty of the teacher to ensure that the students are fully involved both physically, mentally and emotionally in class. Only then will this attribute become part of all their act
