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!

These are great questions. I hope someone with experience answers you soon.
