Core Exercises & Strength Training with Yoga

Want to learn how yoga can help you build core strength? In this blog, you learn core exercises to address core strength as a whole (not just your abdominal muscles). For each exercise, you’ll find technique walkthroughs, helpful photos, target areas, and recommended the recommended reps or hold time. To help you better understand yoga for strength, strength training, and core strength, I’ve also included additional sections to help you: (1) understand how yoga helps you build muscle, (2) how you can use yoga for strength training, and then (3) what you should focus on while practicing yoga in order to get the most core strength out of your workouts. As a special bonus, you’ll also find a FREE 30-minute yoga for strength workout from my Strength Foundations Course, the most popular yoga workout program in my online Members’ Area. Check it out, all below!

Restorative & Recovery-Focused Fitness

Many of us believe that in order for a workout to be effective that it has to be challenging, intense, and make us sweat. But there is another side of fitness that helps you increase strength, prevent injury, and improve your overall wellness. I'm referring to restorative exercise, which is quite often an overlooked, but quite necessary aspect of fitness that will take your fitness to the next level - especially if you're not already doing it.
