What’s the Best Yoga Routine for Beginners to Stay Consistent?

Your Asana Practice

Hi everyone,

I’ve recently started getting into yoga and I’m trying to build a simple routine I can stick with daily. There’s so much information out there that it’s a bit overwhelming, especially as a beginner.

What kind of yoga routine helped you stay consistent when you were starting out? Do you recommend short daily sessions or a few longer ones each week? Also, any tips for staying motivated and avoiding common beginner mistakes?

hi zenova, i really benefitted from choosing a few of the beginner challenges/series. it gave me a curated experience at my level and introduced me to different yoga teachers and styles and gives you a focus on various body parts. i have a 3-day-a-week practice; ok to take a day off as part of consistency too. strap, blocks, props: worthwhile! good luck.

Getting into a routine is so great, over time the routine maintains the practice when motivation dissipates. I like choosing a challenge or series so that you don’t have to decide what you are doing, but just when you are doing it. I like to practice in the morning before things can pop up unexpectedly in the day and prevent me from making it on to my mat. That is also when I have the most energy. That is of course different for everyone. So when do you have energy, and when could you consistently carve our time to pracitce?

That’s really helpful advice from both of you, thanks for sharing.

I like the idea of following a beginner series or challenge, it makes things feel less overwhelming and gives me a clear direction instead of figuring everything out myself. A 3-day routine also sounds realistic, especially knowing that rest days are part of staying consistent. Practicing in the morning is something I’m considering too. I’ve noticed my schedule gets unpredictable later in the day, so doing it early might help me stay on track.

I’ll probably start with shorter guided sessions and see how it goes, and I’ll definitely look into getting some basic props like blocks or a strap. Appreciate the encouragement, this makes getting started feel a lot easier.
