> first 3-7 years of intensive physical practices then only begin to investigate pranyama.

I would say this is slightly far stretched and discouraging for newcomers along with being misleading.

Being regular with yoga for a few months (if not weeks), one can start doing pranayama. Having a person to guide you along is highly recommended but saying that investing multiple years and then exploring as a suggestion makes it sound like some mumbo-jumbo which it's not.

It's not exaggeration. These things require serious commitment.

If you are not ready and still somehow do it, you can pretty much know the results immediately. There will a turmoil within generally due to heartburn leading to sleeplessness and fever.

For this reason, it's really better to find a guru who will guide the practitioner.

I suppose I wouldn't be ready because I haven't practiced. I've tried it but I didn't notice anything.
