All the classical treatises on yoga state that yoga should be done daily, and some practices (for example, pranayama) sometimes even 2-4 times a day. But most practice yoga 2-3 times a week for an hour and a half. This, of course, is by far not the fastest way to achieve all those benefits on the physical, emotional and mental plane that yoga promises. But it is not difficult and not a burden to start practicing every day!
Often, the practice of yoga (1-2 times a week) is so “stretched” in time, that we can see the dynamics (progress) and do not deepen our understanding of practices. Sometimes, training is so rare that there is no progress at all, we are as if trampling down in one place, the practice goes “horizontally”. As a result, there is a feeling of dissatisfaction, anxiety, even despair: -Yoga does not go! -Yoga does not suit me! -This is the wrong yoga! A person either throws classes (because he does not see the results), or – if he still tends to get his way, get to the truth – he starts clenched his teeth, practice intensively, every day. Is it possible to “clench your teeth” and still do yoga every day? Do not engage in as severe austerity – but easy and fun? Elementary!
