How many sun salutations should I do daily as a beginner? Feeling overwhelmed
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!

replied in "Reviews of group classes"
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.
