Yes sure. I think yoga could help everyone to fell better mentally and physically. You learn to Be more calm, peaceful but also be more stretch and healthier.
Yoga is definitely an exercise but what most people do is only the stretching part of yoga. So, if you are also going to do only 'stretching yoga', it is advisable to also combine a little cardio, breathing and strength exercise in your routine.
I do, however I categorize most workouts into two categories: low intensity and high intensity. I would definitely put yoga in the low intensity category. I count it as exercise because you are moving your body and training your muscles (just in a different way).
Yes! I count everything I do with my body besides sitting, lying down, and walking for purposes of daily living activities. That means sometimes I don’t get very much exercise, and sometimes I get the right amount. It’s important to maintain your streak even when the only exercise you can do is a one minute workout. Also, different people have different needs. If you are under-alert Without strenuous exercise or at least something that gets your blood pumping to your brain, then it’s not good to skip the cardiovascular. If you’re an over anxious person, walking and yoga could be just what you need to calm down enough to give you your best focus.
Yes, I have come to learn that it is but one tool in my arsenal... sometimes very necessary for the others (like recently when my body is acting rusty)... and other times enhanced by other modalities (who knew strength training would make my yoga routine more flexible)
No, I do not. Yoga is healthyt, that is for sure, hut it does not bring your heartrate up, it even brings IT down. IT is exercise die the mind, not for the body.
Yes! I have definitely done yoga that was a real workout. Also, yoga is flexible enough for you to right-size it to your skill level, fitness level and the amount of time you have to spend.
Absolutely, yes! Whether it’s basic stretching or full on flows, it’s moving your body with the intention of changing or creating a feeling be it mentally, physically, spiritually, or all of the above. You are moving your body, getting your blood flowing, oxygenating your extremities, and so on. Yoga is definitely exercise.
I believe that it can be. It absolutely strengthens and stretches parts of your body that aren’t necessarily able to be reached by other activities. There are many different forms of yoga, obviously, and some of them feel more productive (in terms of toning and shaping my body) than others do. However in any case it is still an activity that I would do to support my in other forms of exercise as well as to relax and increase my flexibility.
Yes yoga can be count as exercise but it has to practice carefully and has start slowly and gradually practice advanced yoga
