Common questions about creating peaceful evening routines
Most people start feeling the benefits within a few days, but building a sustainable habit takes about 2-3 weeks of consistent practice. The key is starting small—just 5-10 minutes—and gradually expanding as it becomes natural.
That's exactly why we designed flexible routines. Even 5 minutes of intentional wind-down helps. The Quick Unwind routine works regardless of what time you get home. It's about the transition, not the clock.

The Gentle Wind-Down is perfect for beginners. It's short, simple, and requires no special knowledge or equipment. Once that feels natural, you can explore other programs based on your interests and goals.
No. Evening routines benefit people of all ages. We have members from their twenties to their seventies. The practices are gentle and adaptable to any fitness level or life stage.
