Key points on how strength training benefits your yoga practice

Muscle Activation- Ensure muscles are better prepared to engage and hold postures effectively.

Improved Stability- Stronger muscles provide greater stability in postures, allowing you to hold postures longer, with better alignment, control and form

Advanced Poses Access- With increased strength you can safely attempt more challenging poses that require greater muscular engagement.

Enhances balance- For example exercises that focus on single leg stability eg pistol squats can improve your balance in yoga poses requiring one leg to be lifted.

Body awareness- Can enhance body awareness, allowing you to understand how your muscles are working in each yoga pose

Reduce the risk of injury- Strengthening muscles around joints helps protect them from injury and improve overall joint stability

Self Confidence- As you notice your body becoming more capable, you gain a sense of self confidence, leading to personal growth on and off the mat
