user8034: I have completed 10-days Vipassana course and I would like to keep on practicing back home. Goenkaji's discourse tells us to practice Vipassana 1 hour each morning and evening every day.Is there a need to practice Anapana along with Vipassana if so how often?

user295: Anapana in the context of the one hour sessions should be practiced if your mind not not calm, i.e., :

Lot of distracting thoughts
You are emotional
Hindrances have come up
etc.

It is always good to do about 5 to 15 minutes to start with, to calm your mind.
