How many times a week should I do yoga as a beginner?

[niharica-2]

Hey everyone!

I’m a complete beginner, and I’ve started yoga mainly to lose weight.

The part I’m unsure about is how often I should actually be practicing. How many times a week should a beginner do yoga to see real progress?

Also, what kind of routine works best when you’re just starting out?

Hey Niharica
Welcome to the yoga journey — so happy you’re here!

For beginners, 3–4 times a week is a great place to start.
This gives your body time to build strength, flexibility, and stamina without feeling overwhelmed. Even 20–30 minutes daily can bring amazing results if done consistently.

For weight loss and overall progress, a balanced routine helps: Warm-up & mobility , Strength-building poses (like chair pose, plank variations, warrior flow) , Heart-rate elevating movements (sun salutations or gentle cardio flow) Cool down & stretching, Breathwork + relaxation

The most important thing is consistency over intensity.
Stay patient and kind to your body real progress comes gradually, inside and out.

If you want help creating a beginner-friendly routine based on your goals, I’d love to guide you!

Warmly,
Komal Dudhavat
