A: It depends on what yoga you wish to do.There are many different kinds and variations. I personally do Hatha. It’s a slower paced, deep breathing yoga. There is also hot yoga. This faster paced yoga is done in a 120F room. I personally don’t like this kind, but I know people who swear by it.I provided a link for you to see which one is good for you.

How long does it take approximately if I practice every day for two hours….For how long should one practice in a day?
