is 20 minutes pranayama (Yoga) too much to start with ?


Question Posted Sunday April 17 2011, 2:44 am

Hi,

I have a query regarding Pranayama. Basically I am 26 years old and i recite mantras loudly everyday since past 4 weeks. So i recite a mantra as i exhale and inhale deeply to recite the mantra again with the next exhalation of breath. So my mantra japa is similar to pranayama. I do it for 20 minutes daily but i have observed that i get tired and my body feels choked with air and aches too. I have read that doing excessive pranayama can damage the body. So i want to know that was it okay to start with 20 minutes of pranayama or was it too much ? Have i harmed my body and can the damage be repaired ? Please suggest ways to recover any nervous damages or any other damages that could have been incurred due to this.

Maybe you should start with 10 min then increase the amount of yoga you do. If you still feel like your in pain, then maybe you shouldn't do it. I hope i helped.
