Practice how often?
« on: August 23, 2004, 03:00:46 PM »
Dear David,

I am new to this board and fairly new to Ashtanga Yoga.  I have been practing 5-6 days a week for about six months.  I have read articles and/or books about you and some of the other prominent Ashtanga teachers and how you all would practice 2 or three times a day with SKPJ.   I know this is done in workshops, but is this recommended for practice on a regualr basis?

OM

Dear LotusKingNOT,
For the first 18 years, I practiced twice daily.  For the last 15, years, I have practiced once daily.  During my workshops, we only practice once daily.
The standard recommendation is to practice once daily, or if you decide to practice twice daily, stick to that regiment.  Do not go back and forth or you will be unable to evaluate the experiences you are having.
OM,
David
