“Yoga features a variety of postures, including advanced asanas that can be quite challenging. While these advanced poses require flexibility, strength, and years of consistent practice, they should not be the ultimate goal of your yoga journey. Although they may look impressive on social media, it’s essential not to push your body beyond its limits if it doesn’t allow for such movements.

Yoga does not demand gymnastic-level flexibility; effective practice can be achieved through normal body movements and basic mobility. With long-term dedication, proper form, and correct breathing, the body will gradually open up, preparing it for advanced postures. For beginners and intermediate practitioners, the focus should be on connecting the mind and breath with each pose. This connection alone will provide significant benefits without the pressure to attain difficult asanas.

Remember, a reasonable amount of practice with proper alignment and technique is crucial for maintaining strength and calmness in all situations.”

Absolutely, anyone can practice yoga! Since everyone possesses a body, metabolism, breath, and mind, there are countless reasons to engage in yoga to enhance one’s quality of life. However, it’s important to recognize that not every style of yoga is suitable for every body type, age, energy level, or emotional state. At Yukta Yoga, we conduct a thorough evaluation based on various parameters to customize a program that best fits your individual needs. In group classes, we group participants with similar practice levels, designing the sessions and routines to ensure that everyone can comfortably keep up with the pace.

Each type of yoga class offers unique benefits. Group classes foster a sense of community, bringing together individuals with similar interests and challenges, creating a shared learning environment. Even in a group setting, each student receives personalized attention to modify asanas as needed. It’s important for students to focus on the teacher’s guidance, rather than imitating or competing with others.

One-on-one classes, on the other hand, provide specialized attention and a higher level of customization. This option is ideal for those with specific medical needs, such as injuries, psychological concerns, or pregnant mothers who require individualized care. In these sessions, the practice is tailored to address the specific needs of the student.
