I thought the same but you have to stay in a pose balancing yourself and I was amazed how hard it was and how much sweat came out of me. It seems to actually strengthen places you didn't know existed in other words.
- ehnto 7y agoI think people are conflating two different magnitudes of strength improvement. You will be getting a stronger more robust body from Yoga, absolutely, but you won't see any significant increases in your ability to lift weights in the context of a weight lifting program, which is fine if that isn't your goal. The improvements you expext from a weight training program are going from lifting 40kg off the floor to 140kg+ off the floor. So a strength trainer will disagree that Yoga helps because of course the magnitude of gain is just not in the same ballpark as a strength training program expects. You would be better off sticking to good fundamental strength training if that was your goal.
- sebringj 7y agoYes, I have never seen anyone taking a yoga class that has very large muscles, always lean and lengthy, typically how I hear women wanting to look and also hearing they don't want to look bulky so that would be more inline with what you are reporting but I say this knowing I have no business stating women's opinions, just what I heard.
