How the quiz works

Each answer counts from 0 to 3 points; the total, out of 18, gives one of four levels. It measures the habits that matter in the yoga tradition, regularity, breath, meditation and study, not how far you can bend. Whatever your result, practise within your limits and learn retentions, inversions and forceful breathing with a qualified teacher, as the US National Center for Complementary and Integrative Health advises.
