Can Yoga Make You Stronger?| sy pats sienecneia
‘Many people worder if yoga con improve their musele fess, They tecognize thal yogo ean
help reduce sitess and increase flexbiliy, but when it comes fo increasing muscle fiTness, they think it
might be a ile too ‘weak’ to do the job. The fact is that yoga con definitely moke you stronger.
A study was conducted at the Universiy of Califia at Davis. Ten college ‘coach potatoes’ adopted
1 yoge routine for eight weeks, Each week, they attended from hwo to four classes during which they
spent 10 minutes on breath contol. 15 minuies of warm up exercises, SO minutes doing yoga osanas
‘and then 10 minutes of relaxation/mediation. Av the end of the eight-week period, the researchers
measured the studenis’ fess and discovered that their muscular strength had increased by up to 31%
their muscular endurance improved by 57% their flexibility increased by 188%, and their cardio
respiratory fitness improved by 7%. These resus are prety amazing when you corsider that he study wos
‘rly conducted for eight weeks, How can something that seems so benign have such @ major impact on
muscle fines?
Muscle Strength
Unlike traditional weight building exercises, in yoga
‘your body provides the resistance. While you are net likely going
to produce the bulked yp muscles of some weight lifes, you
will certainly increase your muscle strength.
‘Moony poses in yoga are done very slowly or you soy
in the posture for several breaths. It is much more challenging to
your muscles to hold a pose of do it slowly than it is to callow
momentum to move you through an action. | have been working
cout with weights for many yeors so my muscles are used lo
being strengthened. Yet, | have practiced certain yoga roulines
during which my muscles sereomed for merey and | actually
had to get out of the pose and then resume it because my
muscles were so chollenged, I dont ofen experience tis dung
‘weight Faining sessions.
In addition, some bolonce postures such os Tree Pose
and Shoulderstand require enormous muscle control in order to
prevent you from falling over. This helps to build ond she
‘your muscles.

Muscle Balance
In weight iaining, you isolate « specific muscle as
you perform an exercise and this leads to « short, tightened

to be elongated, because while you are strengthening them,
you are simutaneously lenghering them. You ako do nat focus
Con an isolated muscle, but actively recruit the smaller muscle
groups as well. You truly work your entre body when you
proctice yogo.
Practicing yoga can help realign your muscles, so

of Yoga on my Life
| became porticulerly interested in exercise during my
{ime at University and after focusing mostly on weight training,
wanted to try something new a different way lo exercise,
I had a go at yoga and was really suprised fo see an immediate
improvement in my flexibiliy and also felt that I could contol
my emotions during the exercise. When discovering that Yoga
is not only physical exercise bul combines mental and spiritual
aspects as well, | became interested in the impact it could
have on my Ife
Physically, affer one class of yoga | can look in the
mirror and feel that my appearance has improved - my face is
brighter and | have adjusted and improved my posture
‘When just using machines. fo weight fin. itis easy fo focus
just on one group of muscles ond neglect others. Yoga has
helped me avoid overworking particular muscle groves and
therefore, the muscles of my body are evenly balonced
By practicing yoga my flexibiliy has improved. For example,
immediately afer portcipating in ¢ class at @ yogo conference,
[ek that my spine had lengihened and I fel taller. My body
no longer fel siff and ridged (which can happen aller weigh
‘raining) instead | was more supple and agile. From the moment
that [hold @ posture and go beyond the pain of the tightness
cof my body. the moment that | breathe deeper and longer
{1am stionger, more peaceful and conscious of my emotions
When practicing yoga my mind is sharper and free from all
thoughts,
‘When | practice yoga regulaily I find that lean control
my emotions beter. At fist when | would hald « pose the pain
would meke me feel fustiaied, but | have learnt fo be patient
‘and feel calm through deep meditation. Yoga has taught me fo
contol my mind. Lam particularly ineresed in the manita expect
cof yoga, | have not yet fully explored this yet, but I intend to
spend more time doing so, Practicing yoga has made me feel
more belanced emotionally. for example if | am feeling
depressed o sessed before yogo, | ind thal after yous class
[eel totaly diferent. | feel relaxed and peaceful. In contrast
sometimes | feel tired and sleepy, but offer doing yoga | feel
more awake and alive, content and happy in myself can feel a
smile oppear on my face
