Chef Jim Posted October 8, 2015 Share Posted October 8, 2015 Try a basic pose- downward dog, and upward dog. In yoga you hold poses 3 minutes. Those exercises smoke my tri's, shoulders, chest, back, hamstrings, calves. Try and hold those poses for 3 minutes, and then tell me it doesn't build strength https://www.google.com/search?q=downward+dog+upward+fog&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS629US633&espv=2&biw=1018&bih=483&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMI356FwcqzyAIVyNQeCh1pmAaf#tbm=isch&q=downward+dog+upward+&imgrc=8FUt8pdKLDtn1M%3A here is a body built by yoga- https://www.google.com/search?q=downward+dog+upward+fog&rlz=1C1CHWA_enUS629US633&espv=2&biw=1018&bih=483&source=lnms&tbm=isch&sa=X&ved=0CAcQ_AUoAmoVChMI356FwcqzyAIVyNQeCh1pmAaf#tbm=isch&q=downward+dog+upward+&imgrc=s-V0JlyP_stkhM%3A Because it was insinuated that yoga does not build muscles. I pointed out that is a fallacy. Yoga does a lot more then build mass. Read this article on Tony Parrish. Yoga changed his life http://www.bikramyogaevanston.com/?id=168 Once again did yoga build the muscles on Tony Parrish or did they maintain them? I highly doubt as a professional athlete he came into yoga without a good mass. Yoga builds a good solid core not a mass. So your example of Tony Parrish is not your typical results of yoga.

Pete Posted October 9, 2015 Share Posted October 9, 2015 “Yoga can be just as effective as weights when it comes to building a stronger, more impressive physique,” says Nicholas DiNubile, M.D. "Yoga is great for flexibility, for strength, and for posture and balance," said Dr. Rachel Rohde, a spokeswoman for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons and an orthopedic surgeon for the Beaumont Health System in Royal Oak, Mich.

Google is your friend chefsue Yes yoga is good for strength, balance and posture. What I was getting at was that when someone mentioned that yoga does not build muscle your example is an ex-NFL player whose body was not built to where it is through yoga and his body is very different from that of someone who practices yoga. He said yoga changed his life and I've heard that a lot but it's mainly due to the discipline of the routines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
