Helping you achieve better health, strength, balance, and flexibility through yoga

Why do yoga?

Learn why I do yoga and what benefits it offers me.

When people hear the word yoga, they generally get images of people with eyes closed, paying attention to their breathing and trying to relax.

While you can use yoga as a way to relax and de-stress your body, I got into yoga as a way to increase strength without having to go to a gym and lift weights.

Yoga is the perfect activity to increase strength and balance in the body as a whole by using only your own body weight. You do not need anything else but a yoga mat, some time, and dedication to reap the benefits of yoga.

While weight training tends to increase dynamic strength, yoga tends to increase both static and dynamic strength.

There aren’t many bodybuilders who can do the pendant pose in yoga, since it requires a delicate balance in strength between muscles all over your body. Bodybuilders tend to focus on size; yoga focuses on achieving balance throughout the entire body.

Yoga is also a way to gain control over your own body and connect your body with your mind. For example, if your are having problems or are worried about something, it will be hard to find balance in the yoga poses that require balance.

To find balance, you first have to empty your mind and then perform the yoga poses. This is why yoga can help you find peace; not only in your body, but also in your mind.

There are different types of yoga and people do yoga for different purposes. I do yoga to get strong, get control over my body, and find balance.

It is a truly wonderful feeling when your mind and body can work together in harmony. That is what yoga does for me.
