When starting a new fitness activity, it’s natural to wish for immediate results. Once I make yoga a part of my weekly routine, how soon should I expect to feel the benefits?

    I felt the benefits of Yoga during my VERY first practice. It immediately calms you, you’ll feel great. You’ll also begin to feel leaner and stronger and more graceful and flexible. Yoga can help relieve stress and headaches, and you can pretty much do it anywhere. I love Yoga and I’ think I will continue doing it for the rest of my life. Have fun with Yoga!

    You should start feeling sore right away. Very sore.

    Some people feel the benefits immediately, others in a few days or weeks. The most important thing as that you started and each day you will notice an increasing benefit to yoga in your life. A sense of calming, more flexibility, control, balance and harmony, as well as the physical appearance changes like muscle tone, decreased fat and such which will take on average at least a month. This does of course vary due to the amount of fat or current muscle mass you start with. Enjoy the new sense of peace and overall well being yoga will bring into your life!

    Yoga is always from within your heart not a pill you take and get the remedy. Start yoga with possitive note not on duration will not see the benefits.This is what we call devotion.

    immediately after my first yoga class…i felt cleansed from the inside out… but i was taking yoga from a yoga studio and not a gym.. a yoga studio with a small group is much more personal than a gym class…..
    i also felt more relaxed immediately….
    it took me quite a while before i could see measurable results like touching my toes… i had to be patient and not push too hard in yoga practice…. results will come easier when you do not push too hard to do too much too fast…
    this time around (i went without doing yoga for a couple of years due to a back condition) i am doing yoga at the YMCA… and at Guruv Yoga Studio in Lake Mary Florida…
    i have been judging myself a lot….comparing what i can do with what others can do..and i have been pushing myself…
    this is not good for my yoga practice or my back….
    i haven’t made progress as quickly …because i am not relaxing….i am tense…… i am so tense that i can’t even keep my eyes closed for the final relaxation pose….
    you will get what you put into your yoga practice… if you sow seeds of judgment…then you will judge yourself harshly and you may not be able to recognize the subtle benefits of your practice….
    if you relax into your practice…you will see results much more quickly…..
    you will feel a difference after one class…but it is consistency that is key to your yoga practice….

    You will not feel any real results after your first few practices. You will though find that there is an instant feeling of calmn.
    Real results will depend on how often you practice. By repition of postures the body remembers ” muscle memory” when your body starts to remember the postures then you will start doing the posture more efficiently and that is when you start feeling/understanding the results

  8. Ged says:

    it’s all depends on u… as soon as u can relax urself, as soon as u’ll feel the result

  9. UJ says:

    It depends…If you sprain or break something I’m guessing your probably going to feel those results right away. Also if you do yoga in temperatures above 130 your going to feel a slight warming sensation in your lower back, and everywhere else. If you were referring to benefits of yoga I could not say I am not an authority on physical exercise.

    I figure after you realize “Yoga” is not a solution to life’s problems.

  14. Paul Konerko says:

    you will feel the pain right away, over about 3 months you will feel the results in other activity’s.

  15. Dan S says:

    with Yoga you will feel the instant result of RELAXATION, but if you are talking about toning your body I would think it will show after about 2 month (if you do 3x a week yoga)

  16. Altstadt says:

    after one month

  17. chi says:

    There should be near immediate changes in how you feel if you are coached into performing yoga correctly. Your breaths should be lengthened and coordinated with your motion. In addition to enhancing your flexibility and relaxation level, yoga can add grace to your motion, adding to your confidence.
    In yoga classes I have heard instructors say that most people are shallow breathers, using perhaps 10% of their lungs. Breathing capability can effect relaxation level, ability to handle stress, and even cognitive level. The lungs can be compared to baloons, if they have not been blown up fully they can be inflexible. If deliberate breathing exercises are done for loosening the lungs, deeper breaths will be easier to do and more comfortable. Increasing lung flexibility is not an immediate thing, it takes more time for this type of conditioning. I would suggest practicing yoga more than once per week initially, until you assimilate the practice and are independent on many of the postures. It can be a transforming experience.

    idk never tried it

  19. WIDE OUTxx0017 says:

    Depending on which benefits you are referring to, I would say as soon as you begin. That is, the relaxation portion commences as soon as you decide to devote that chunk of time to that activity and start to turn your focus on that activity. The physical benefits should start to be felt as you begin the exercises as you feel them.

    U will feel that the magnatic powers in ur brain are high

    Everything takes time. i say if you stick with it and do it 3 timea a week..after 2 weeks you should see something. Understand its not meant ot be aerobic or used instead of weight lifting if that is what your after. Its a relaxing technique that stretches the muscles and tones them to a lean mass.

  22. Pepper says:

    immediately. Just doing one or two of the breathing exercises, lowers your blood pressure instantly !(I don’t “do” yoga, but I have done one of the breathing exercises my whole life. You can “breathe” anywhere ! And it REALLY works.

  23. Scorpius says:

    5 minutes

  24. Mike V says:

    well it depends how good the class is. My aunt went to a yoga class that sucked. It wouldn’t work

  25. jonas fan X3 says:

    start first ….

  26. Stefan D K says:

    The benefits from Yoga don’t appear at a particular time or in a particular way. They are subtle and tend to creep up on you. It is usually a matter of suddenly realising that you are able to run up the stairs rather than take the elevator, or the walk to the shops doesn’t wind you anymore. You also realise that you don’t get upset at things that used to upset you.
    Keep it up. It can be very hard work, but is well worth the effort.

  27. firefysh says:

    Hi,
    You would feel the effect only after 21 (continous) Days,
    not only Yoga all body harmonising activities you will feel only after 21 Days.
    You might feel in the 10th minute itself, but that is just ur mindset.
    Thanks,
    Kasi

    It depends on what results you are hoping for. You will feel better after your first class. It helps with anxiety, too. You may even feel a little sore. If you are going for flexibility, you will see marked improvement in about six classes. If you are going for tone, then you’d see results faster with pilates. If you are trying to get so strong that you can balance your entire body weight on the tip of one finger while balancing on the tippy top of Mount Everest and singing a Tibetan chant while drinking a Grande Triple Shot Soy Late with Sugar-Free Hazelnut…. then that’s going to take many, many years…..
    The more classes you take, the more results you will see. I do yoga four times a week. I started out with two, then gradually added on. After a year, I had the results I wanted. That was 12 years ago. I don’t always go to the classes, but I do it at home at the very least. It is an important part of my life.

    the moment you start.

  30. di says:

    I felt results immediately after my first class. All my muscles felt stretched and toned. It felt great! Of course it will continue to improve the more you practice it.
