Can I do my yoga workout every day (1hour workout) or do I need rest days? I'm beginner?

I have just started with yoga (ashtanga) ....I'm not sure if I should start by 2 times per week along my 3x per week cardio work out or I should do workout every dayCan I do my yoga workout every day (1hour workout) or do I need rest days? I'm beginner?
Yoga should be done everyday, if possible. You shouldn't need rest days if you are taking it easy in the beginning. Nothing should hurt, ache, or be sore because this isn't like running. The best times to do yoga are sunrise and sunset.





***The only week you should take a rest from yoga is your period.***





If you really want to cardio workout, the yoga can be done two times per week, like you suggested. However, try to practice deep breathing EVERYDAY. Lie down, close your eyes, and feel your tummy going up like a balloon and then sinking down.Can I do my yoga workout every day (1hour workout) or do I need rest days? I'm beginner?
Hi lina,


Its great that You started Yoga.Its a great thing that not only make strong your external physique but also the INTERNAL.


Ya! of course if you can,you do it everyday.It is more useful to do like 30 minutes in the morning and 30 minutes in the evening.it makes you fresh all time.No side effects.haha!!





Gradually increase the timings.

P.S:It will be also great if you learn some Breathing excercise(Pranayama) which is very helpful to your cardiac work out also.

It'd depend on how strenuous the yoga is, or how much stress it'd put on your joints. Since you're only starting out then I'd do it every 3 days. As your body becomes more flexible then you might be able to do it more often. Just take it easy though, don't want to injure yourself doing yoga, of all things =/





Hope I helped
if you workout everyday then you arent giving your muscles time to relax, when you relax this is when muscles repair themselves and grow or get stronger. when your muscles hurt this is when they are actually tearing and when they heal during the day or 2 of rest they are becoming stronger.
Do it everyday. If you are not very flexible you should probably stretch twice a day. If you become very sore then just take more time on each stretch =D This class should go well with your cardio class.
yoga is an activity you can do everyday, keep your cardio workouts the way they are though.
You can. Start small, think Big.
Yoga is wonderful and can be done daily.
