Getting the Most from Your Practice
Wear comfortable clothes: Choose loose-fitting clothing that allows you to move freely.
Practice regularly: Even 5-10 minutes a day can be beneficial. Consistency is more important than duration.
Start slowly: Adapt the movements to fit your ability. Begin with just a few minutes if the full routine feels like too much initially.
