| Comment | Female here. I do 5/6 days of yoga a week, mostly Ashtanga with a mix of strong Vinyassa now and then - contrary to what everyone thinks ("you just lie down and stretch"), it's a very physical form of yoga that helps build strength, balance and flexibility. My yoga teacher usually recommends strength training on the side to help with the practice as well. I used to do weights and core exercise in the past, but not to bulk up, but mostly to build endurance and tone.
Ultimately, it depends on what you're looking to work on or achieve and it's just about finding the right type of exercise that suits that. If you're looking for an awesome, welcoming yoga studio for all types of levels, MCY is the one I go to and it's fantastic. It's got plenty of beginners but also plenty of stuff to challenge people who are further along their practice. |
