Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need prior experience to engage with this practice?
No. Most students begin with no prior yoga background. A genuine beginner mindset is far more valuable than physical experience — every teacher starts where you are now.
How long until I see results?
For most yoga practices, noticeable changes appear in 2-4 weeks of consistent daily practice (even 15 minutes). Deeper changes — flexibility, strength, mental clarity — accumulate over months and years.
