Build Strength with Yoga: Core & More

It’s widely known that yoga is an excellent way to manage and reduce stress. However, did you know that yoga can also be a fantastic way to strengthen your core and build overall strength?

Yoga effectively builds strength by engaging your muscles to hold poses and transition between them. Often, you use your body weight as resistance. This isometric and dynamic engagement strengthens your muscles, improves your endurance, and enhances your balance and flexibility.

Throughout your yoga practice, it’s important to remember to use your core. Embrace the idea of tuning in and engaging your core first, then moving into the pose. Remember core engagement is integral to your practice..
