Sadhu board session length depends on experience. Beginners should stand 30-60 seconds, focusing on breathing evenly and stepping off calmly. Intermediate users, after 4-8 weeks of practice, extend to 2-5 minutes. Advanced practitioners hold 5-15 minutes or longer, often as a formal meditation. There is no universal ideal — the practice is about presence and state change, not duration. METADESK founder Eugene Oliynyk practices daily and varies session length by day and mental need. Getting off the board slowly is as important as getting on: rock gently, breathe out, then step down.

Frequently asked questions
Is longer better?
Not necessarily. State change and presence matter more than duration.
Can I do multiple sessions a day?
Yes, though most practitioners find one focused daily session enough.
Should I time it?
A timer helps early on. Later, breathing count or simple presence replaces the clock.
Does Eugene use a timer?
He varies. On a 20mm board he often just holds until natural completion.
