1. How often do I have to practice to see results?
It depends on what you mean by “results.”
Start by getting clear on your goal—do you want to feel less stiff, build strength, reduce stress, improve balance, or something else? Once you know that, choose a practice schedule you can actually stick to.
You’ll usually feel something after your first class—more space in your body, a calmer mind, better sleep. For longer-term changes, consistency matters more than intensity.
If you’re starting out, once a week is a great baseline. If you can add a second session (even a short one), you’ll notice progress faster.
2. Will I be able to do, it I’m not flexible.?
You don't need to be flexible to do yoga.
Flexibility isn't the entry requirement—it's one of the results. Most people start off feeling tight, stiff, or awkward, and that's completely normal.
You'll find simpler options are available whenever you need them, so you can start from wherever you are and gradually notice more ease and range of motion over time
3. When is the best time to practice yoga?
The best time to practise yoga is the time you’ll actually do it.
Some people love mornings because it sets the tone for the day. Others prefer evenings because it helps them decompress and sleep better. Neither is “better”—it’s about what fits your life and how you want to feel.
If you’re not sure, experiment for a week:
Try a short practice in the morning a couple of days
Try one in the evening a couple of days
Pay attention to what feels easiest to stick with—and what leaves you feeling the most balanced afterwards.
4. Should I wait to eat before practicing? Or should I wait to eat after?
Try not to practise on a full stomach.
As a general rule, give yourself about 2 hours after a meal before doing yoga. If you genuinely need something beforehand, keep it small and easy to digest—just enough to feel steady, not heavy.
After class, you don’t have to rush to eat. Wait 15–30 minutes if you can, so your body has a moment to settle before you ask it to focus on digestion.
5. I’m overweight can I still do yoga?
Yes—absolutely.
You can practise yoga at any weight, size, or fitness level. Yoga isn’t about looking a certain way in a pose—it’s about learning how to move and breathe in your body.
If something doesn’t feel comfortable, we use props and modifications to make the pose fit you, not the other way around.
6. How do you know if you’re doing it right?
There isn’t one single “right” way to do a pose.
Bodies are built differently—bone structure, proportions, mobility—so the goal isn’t to copy someone else. It’s to find the version of the pose that works for your body.
A good rule of thumb: effort is fine, pain is not. You’ll feel stretching, heat, and muscles working. But if you feel sharpness, pinching, numbness, or anything that feels like a warning sign, ease out slowly and adjust.
If you’re brand new, practising with a teacher (even for a few sessions) is one of the best ways to learn the foundations and feel confident you’re moving safely.
7. Why is yoga different from other kinds of fitness?
Yoga isn’t just stretching, and it isn’t just a workout.
Yes, you’ll move your body and you’ll get stronger and more flexible over time. But the difference is how you practise: you link movement to breath, and you’re guided to pay attention to what’s happening right now—inside your body and in your mind.
That focus changes the experience. You start to notice what feels supportive, what feels like strain, and how to adjust without forcing anything. And you’re not trying to “win” a pose—yoga is about meeting yourself where you are, without judgement.
So you get the physical benefits, but you also leave with a calmer nervous system, better self-awareness, and tools you can use off the mat too.
8. Will yoga help me lose weight?
Yes—yoga can support weight loss, but not in the “quick fix” way people often expect.
Yoga helps by improving the things that make weight loss easier to sustain: you move your body consistently, you build strength, and you reduce stress. That matters, because high stress can drive cravings, poor sleep, and the kind of eating that doesn’t actually match what your body needs.
Over time, yoga also builds self-awareness. You start to notice why you’re eating—hunger, habit, stress, boredom—and that awareness makes it easier to make choices you feel good about.
9. Can I practice yoga while menstruating?
Yes—you can, but let it depend on how you feel.
Some people prefer to pause completely. Others keep practising throughout their cycle. The key is to listen to your energy levels, especially on heavier days.
On high-flow or low-energy days, it’s usually best to slow things down—think gentle movement, breathwork, and more rest. If your body is asking for a break, take it. Yoga should support you, not drain you.
10. Are there different styles of yoga?
There are a lot of different styles of yoga—and they’re not all the same.
Some classes are fast-paced and sweaty, more like a workout. Others are slow and gentle, focused on mobility, recovery, and stress relief. Some are designed to build strength, others to quiet your nervous system.
That variety is the good news: it means you can find a style that fits your body, your goals, and your energy level on any given day.
