FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Fight School has specialized in martial arts since 1986 and has one of the most innovative programs in the nation.
How often do I have to practice the poses to see results?
It depends. First I would suggest determining your yoga practice goals. What sort of results do you want to achieve? Then, based on those goals, figure out how often you can practice. I personally think even after your first class, you’ll feel the benefits of yoga. Of course the more you practice, the more benefits you’ll experience. But, even just starting off with once a week is a great way to create a habit and start to experience the results you desire.

How is yoga different from stretching, or other kinds of fitness?
The practice of yoga is more than just physically moving your body. Within the physical practice you connect movements to the breath, which helps to focus and relax your mind. In a yoga class, you are asked to bring your awareness to the present moment - to focus on the here and now - using your body and breath as an anchor.

What is the best time to practice yoga?
The best time is the time that works best for you! Some students love to practice in the morning. Others prefer at night. Some students have to practice before their day gets started. Others have to wait until after work. It truly depends on your schedule and your personal constitution. I would suggest experimenting to see what feels best for you.

Can I practice yoga while menstruating?
I hate to say it again, but it depends. Some women prefer to pause their practice while menstruating while others continue practicing. I would suggest that you slow down your practice during your heavy flow days. On those days you only have so much energy to give and should not deplete yourself from practicing yoga. There is a lot of research out there on this specific topic, but again, my answer is to do what feels best for you.
