People tend to feel the benefit even with a very short daily practice of ten minutes a day. I think that the instructor makes all the difference in the world. Many people have tried yoga and have stopped because they didn t feel good in the class. There are many styles and interpretations of the practice of yoga. I always advise people to find a teacher who works for them.
Patience is important for the beginning student as well.
There is no one place to get to in yoga, it is a practice. We learn from the practice and how we approach the practice. Every time we come to the practice of yoga we have the opportunity to learn about who we are through bringing our awareness inward. This is not always easy, but it tends to bring great rewards. Additionally, people tend to think they can t do the yoga postures because they are not flexible.
