How often should I do yoga?

About This Class

In this short Q&A lecture, Bryan Kest — with over fifteen years of practice — addresses how frequently one should do yoga. He explains there are no hard rules, and that the right frequency depends on how much value you want to gain and what your body needs. Using the analogy of braces building new muscle memory over time, he stresses that consistency is key: taking too much time off allows the body to revert to its previous state, essentially requiring you to start over. He notes that practice frequency is deeply personal — some people thrive at three times a week, others at six — and encourages mixing class types (e.g., a flowing class one day, a Yin class another) to allow adequate recovery, especially if the practice is intense. The takeaway is to find your own sustainable rhythm and stick with it to support ongoing growth.
