Deepak Chopra Instagram – #AskDeepak Is practicing yoga for hours every day healthy? “Is daily practicing Yoga for 1 to 2 hours healthy? Is it not too excessive for the muscles of the body?” My Response: If you are talking about practicing yoga asanas in the traditional easy, non-straining way, then an hour session in the morning and evening is not excessive. That kind of gentle practice won’t strain the muscles, as there are counter-movements and rest periods built into a balanced yoga routine. Yoga instructors may often do more than 2 hours of yoga in the course of teaching classes, without any negative impact. In fact, it is likely to bring even more benefits. For most people, it’s usually a question of not doing enough yoga each day, rather than doing too much. Love, Deepak
