So reaching exhaustion in best form is what\u2019s most important. Endurance will build. But you will do more damage than good holding a poor form for a longer period of time. I actually read a study that shorter burst of stretches are more beneficial than longer ones- about 20 seconds is thought to be the magic number now. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Beverly W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Depends on what the pose is; if doing the more difficult pose is dangerous or harmfyto my body as I am not capable of doing it yet then a softer pose is better but if it simply hard to hold I will hold for as long as possible.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Aaron T.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">That\u2019s an excellent question.  I believe that holding proper form for as long as I\u2019m able is quality work even if I fall short.  The next day will be longer and so forth.  Eventually, I\u2019ll be able to hold the pose with the right form for the entire time frame.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jessie J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Yoga is not about stretching yourself to your limit. Each pose and stretch have certain alignments that are important for that pose to work (like keeping straight back while you could still bend your knees though, for example), so try paying attention to that but do not try achieving poses that your body is not yet flexible enough for. So rather than aiming to 30 sec with perfect pose, aim to suitable time for you with good enough pose. Be gentle to your body, yoga and stretching should not cause bad pain, just the good kind of gentle stretching pain. Listen to your body and you\u2019ll know the difference.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sofia C. I do my best.
