A physical therapist helps to settle the debate: is yoga really exercise?
Many people want to ensure their workouts are effective but is yoga exercise? Well, that depends on what you want to achieve. If you're looking for something that can improve your mood and flexibility then yoga is a perfect fit. But if you're searching for some heart-pumping aerobic exercise you might need a different activity.
She also highlights that yoga, as a whole, isn't solely about improving fitness."The tools of yoga practice include ethical lifestyle principles, yoga postures, breathing exercises, and meditative practices," she explains."Ideally, practitioners will reap broader benefits from their yoga practice in addition to fitness."
Some styles of yoga could also increase muscular strength and endurance. These practices focus on holding poses that involve multiple major muscle groups. A meta-analysis of 12 studies, published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health , concluded that regular yoga practice could have"moderately positive effects on muscle strength."
Guidelines for physical activity issued by the American Heart Association state that adults should aim to complete 150 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise each week or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity.
