Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to be flexible to start?
No. Gentle yoga meets you where you are. Each guide offers easy options, and you are never expected to reach a particular shape.
Can I practice yoga in a chair?
Yes. Many of our guides, such as Seated Cat-Cow and Seated Breathing, can be done entirely from a sturdy chair.
How often should I practice?
Many people enjoy a short practice of five to fifteen minutes, a few days each week. Choose a rhythm that feels comfortable, and check with your doctor for advice that suits you.
Is yoga safe for everyone?
Any form of exercise carries some risk, and yoga is not right for every person or every condition. Please talk with your doctor before beginning, move gently, and stop if anything hurts. Read our Medical Disclaimer.
