How long should you hold a camel pose?

The timeframe will differ, depending on your fitness level. Beginners may hold the pose for 15 to 20 seconds, while intermediate and advanced practitioners can hold it for longer (30-60 seconds). If you can’t do 15 seconds, hold it for as long as you can. Don’t force yourself to stay in the position longer than you’re capable of doing. Also remember that it will really help to breathe properly throughout this pose. If you’re able to control your breathing, you’ll likely be able to relax further into the stretch.
