A 24/7 yoga meditation stream runs for 720 hours in a 30-day month. Using historical example rates cited in a 2017 TRAI-hosted consultation response, that works out to about 180 GB for non-HD video or 1.44 TB for HD video. These are illustrative estimates—not a universal rate or a measurement of a particular stream. Your actual use depends on playback quality, the service and its encoding, and other viewing conditions.
Estimate a full month of continuous streaming
Multiply the stream’s hourly data use by the number of hours it runs. For a 30-day month, the calculation is 24 hours × 30 days = 720 hours. The Telecom Regulatory Authority of India-hosted 2017 consultation response gives example figures of 250 MB per hour for non-HD video and 2 GB per hour for HD video.
| Illustrative quality example | Calculation for 30 days | Approximate total |
|---|---|---|
| Non-HD: 250 MB per hour | 250 MB × 720 hours | 180,000 MB, or about 180 GB |
| HD: 2 GB per hour | 2 GB × 720 hours | 1,440 GB, or 1.44 TB |
These are decimal-unit estimates based on the cited hourly examples. The response dates to 2017, so treat its figures as rough scenario inputs, not a current official standard or a promise that every HD yoga stream uses 2 GB an hour. The arithmetic assumes the stream runs continuously and its hourly rate stays constant. A 31-day month has 744 stream-hours; a 28-day month has 672.

Why your actual data use can differ
Playback quality affects the rate
Higher-quality playback generally requires more data, but a resolution label alone does not establish an exact hourly amount. YouTube recommends sustained playback speeds of 0.7 Mbps for 360p, 1.1 Mbps for 480p, 2.5 Mbps for 720p, 5 Mbps for 1080p and 20 Mbps for 4K UHD. Those are connection-speed recommendations, not direct data-use measurements or guarantees of a video’s encoded bitrate.
#1 Best Overall
- DUAL-BAND WIFI 6 ROUTER: Wi-Fi 6(802.11ax) technology achieves faster speeds, greater capacity and reduced network congestion compared to the previous gen. All WiFi routers require a separate modem. Dual-Band WiFi routers do not support the 6 GHz band.
- AX1800: Enjoy smoother and more stable streaming, gaming, downloading with 1.8 Gbps total bandwidth (up to 1200 Mbps on 5 GHz and up to 574 Mbps on 2.4 GHz). Performance varies by conditions, distance to devices, and obstacles such as walls.
- CONNECT MORE DEVICES: Wi-Fi 6 technology communicates more data to more devices simultaneously using revolutionary OFDMA technology
- EXTENSIVE COVERAGE: Achieve the strong, reliable WiFi coverage with Archer AX1800 as it focuses signal strength to your devices far away using Beamforming technology, 4 high-gain antennas and an advanced front-end module (FEM) chipset
- OUR CYBERSECURITY COMMITMENT: TP-Link is a signatory of the U.S. Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency’s (CISA) Secure-by-Design pledge. This device is designed, built, and maintained, with advanced security as a core requirement.
YouTube also says playback quality can be selected based on factors such as connection speed, screen size, source quality and browser, and viewers can change it manually. That guidance describes YouTube playback; it should not be treated as a measured rate for every yoga stream or platform.

Use a stream-specific rate if you have one
If the service or device provides a reliable hourly-use figure for the stream you watch, substitute it for the illustrative rate: hourly use × 24 × days streamed. If the stream changes quality during the month, one constant-rate calculation will only be an estimate. The sources cited here do not establish a universal data rate for yoga meditation streams.
Check your Indian broadband plan’s FUP
Compare the monthly estimate with the plan’s data allowance or fair-usage policy (FUP), as well as with data used by everyone else in the household. TRAI’s broadband FAQ says that providers must state the fair-usage threshold for an unlimited plan and the speed supplied after that threshold is reached. The threshold and post-limit speed depend on the plan; “unlimited” does not by itself tell you what they are. Broadband packages may also have different download limits, and additional data beyond an allowance may attract charges.
