Many people have asked me – “How long does it take to experience the effectiveness of Yoga?” The simple answer is “it depends!”
For most
people effectiveness means stress reduction which is one of the prominent
effects of Yoga if practiced properly. Less stress means better health, better
performance, peace of mind, and so on. Now, how long does it take?
You
probably are aware of what an exponential decay curve is. It is a curve like
the one shown in figure.
The curve
indicates how something decreases over a period of time.
The Yogic law of
exponentials is that – “stress decreases exponentially with time, due to sustained practice of Yoga”.
Something like that shown in the figure below.

If you
start Yoga when you are in a high state of stress, you see quick results as
compared to when you start in a relatively lesser stressful state. Not because
Yoga is not useful when you are under lesser stress, but simply because the
change is perceptible when you are suffering from heavy stress as shown in the
figure.
So it depends on how bad your current state is😉
