    How many sun salutations should I do daily as a beginner? Feeling overwhelmed
    Rahul BohraR Rahul Bohra

    Hi everyone,
    I just started doing yoga at home (about 6 weeks in) and I’m trying to build a consistent morning practice with sun salutations. But I’m honestly confused about how many I should be doing.

    I’ve seen everything online from “do 3 rounds” to “traditional practice is 108 rounds” and I’m like… wait, what?? 😅

    Right now I can barely get through 5 rounds without getting tired and my arms shaking. Is that normal for a beginner or am I just really out of shape?

    My questions:

    • How many sun salutations should a beginner actually do?
    • Should I do the same number every day or gradually increase?
    • Is 5 rounds too little to get any real benefits?

    I want to build strength and flexibility, but I also don’t want to burn out or injure myself by doing too many too soon.

    Yoga teachers - what do you recommend for someone just starting out?

    Thanks!

    My last two reviews ( one for Trupti, one for Gomati ) have not appeared. I am wondering whether this is due to the fact that I submitted them via “past sessions”, “rate sessions” , rather than via the bell icon top right of screen. In 5 years, the process for submitting reviews has never been satisfactory as it keeps changing without warning.
    When I look at reviews, all recent reviews are dated 3rd December 2025 ?! Regardless of when they were written or when they were for.
    I haven’t reviewed any of Rohan’s recently, as he is taking a break from my usual class so I’m doing the recordings. In any case, reviews for Kriya, Pranayama and Meditation aren’t a lot of help as, unless the reviewer mentions the name of the teacher, readers have no way of telling which class they are for. As I have mentioned before.
    Everyone’s perseverance has a limit; I have reached mine and will not (along with the majority of other students) be writing any more reviews.

    Thanks for organizing the event. I wish I had more notice so I could have flown there. Maybe next time. I’d love a reshot though. I’ve seen the teachers wear them and it’s great .

    replied in "Should I do yoga or go to physical therapy for my sciatica?"

    Hey dear Roland,
    Is it okay if I ask you a few questions so I can guide you safely?
    • How long have you been experiencing sciatica?
    • Was it triggered by any injury or sudden movement?
    • May I know your age?
    • Have you had any reports, X-ray, or MRI done?

    For sciatica, it’s always best to understand the root cause first.
    To support you properly, we may need a short one-on-one session so I can assess what movements will help and what to avoid.

    And yes — yoga can be very effective for sciatica, but it has to be a gentle, simple, and mindful practice tailored to your condition.
    I’m here to help you relieve the pain safely.
    Avoid these until pain improves

    Deep forward bends

    Touching toes

    Full Pigeon Pose (too aggressive)

    Strong twists

    High-impact workouts

    Long sitting without breaks

    ⭐ My recommendation for you personally

    Since your pain increases with certain movements and you’re unsure what’s safe:

    👉 See a physical therapist first for a proper assessment.
    One or two sessions are enough to understand the cause and safe movement patterns.

    👉 Then use yoga as a complementary therapy — gentle, therapeutic yoga is excellent for long-term healing, flexibility, and strengthening.
