Power Yoga

Does Yoga build power in the body? Can it be used as strength training?

No matter what you do, muscle loss begins in your 30s and continues at a rate of 3% per decade without adequate exercise and sound nutrition.

Yoga is a weight-bearing exercise, and several medical studies can support this fact. This means Yoga is good for seniors concerned about bone loss and athletes looking to get a serious work-out.

For example, a typical Hatha Yoga class at Hamsa Yogashala will burn calories, build strength, create endurance and improve flexibility. For most people, that is a win-win combination because there Yoga is no-impact routine so does not harm the muscles or bones.

For serious athletes, Yoga is an excellent addition to the weight training - or Martial Art, or Running, or any other sport that you may engage in.

Om Peace!
