 Minutes of Yoga for Health Benefits   
 




 
 Here's the health reform we really need: 90-minute yoga classes should be banned. 
 
 Everywhere I look, either in my ClassPass application, like Blue Apron for Exercise, or in MindBody, which is like Uber for your glutes - too many yoga classes offered have a duration Of 75 or 90 minutes. Most of the classes, of course, stopped there, but I sometimes saw two-hour meditation classes - for the woman who has everything, I guess, except a job. 
 
 Do not get me wrong: I love yoga. I would just like to do less when I am. I have come to the carpet, as say the most annoying among us, since I was a Texas teenager, sending my "sitz bones" to the sky on the lonely meadow. I took yoga classes of different lengths in various countries. Never, I never left one that lasted 60 minutes and thought, "Dang! I wish I had been longer." 
 
 I say this in part, for the obvious reasons of effectiveness . We live a fast digital lifestyle, yada yada. But even if it was the fascinating hour of typewriters and  Seinfeld  90 minutes would be too horrible to regret your purchase of recent furniture while throwing your legs on your head (unless you are on your We can all recognize the calm desperation with which yoga instructors try to fill the minutes of an hour and a half of stretching-a- tuna. In a class that I took while living in Los Angeles, the instructor filled things up by making us choose "partners" who physically kept us in some of the most difficult poses. Then we change, and the support becomes the holdee. Leaving aside the fact that if you are trained by a fiery man in Los Angeles, you should at least get a long-awaited launch of your acting career for the problem, this "partnership" was completely useless. Under other instructors, these are poses that we would do anyway, all alone. 
 
 In DC, where people are too tense to touch strangers, I saw what could be a 60-minute class going to 90 with long ads on " Retreats ", or worse, singing. 
 
 Stereotypes about practice suggest that people who go to yoga do not care about wasting time (see, for example: " If you are not in yoga, You have a half brain.  ") But the anguishing people also go to yoga, so we persuade our therapists that we are trying to improve ourselves. And in any case, it may even be that non-angst Americans have more yoga, but in smaller gusts. There are not many good studies on yoga, but some suggest that you only have to do a few minutes regularly to get health benefits. One article revealed that a single 20-minute yoga session temporarily improved working memory. Another showed that a 12-minute yoga routine, practiced daily or every other day, led to better bone density. If the "every day" part is the key, what we will never know before the government funds a yoga research as a priority, haha, then shorter is certainly better, or at least more realistic. Some people say that 90 minutes are just how long it takes to get through all the sacred  asanas,  and that we should not manipulate tradition. 
  But there is nothing traditional in most yoga studios today, which are more about monetizing relaxation than the honor of anyone who yoga is supposed to to Honour. I recently went to a class, supposedly a hybrid dance-yoga effort, in which the instructor slipped around one  scene  to Jason Derulo. We no longer meditate more precisely in the valley of the Indus. 
 
 I would be open to go below an hour, especially when the deadlines are as tight as my shoulders. Another LA class was more cozy, but I attended less frequently because she had less parking spaces, yoga packed in 30 minutes, which was running the basic poses and Distributed Zen entirely. But sometimes he felt too brief, as if everything at the time I had found the parking, the thing was over. (I've always felt this way to LA) If you really need to make your scapulas appear up with the help of some dogs downstairs, in other words, maybe 39 A YouTube video would be enough. 
 
 For a Class, however, 60 minutes is the platonic ideal. The WTF time period is 90 minutes, anyway? Sixty minutes is  The Americans  or  Game of Thrones  - a winning cable program. Ninety minutes is an original Disney Channel movie. 
 
 An hour lasts more than enough time for active solar greetings, relaxing sitting poses, and even the purpose in the air that no one can do.  Shavasana  will be finished before you want to check that your phone becomes overwhelming. 
 
 Yoga teachers, please, give people the workout they want in the window that they can afford: one hour. Namaste.
