In preparation for our workshop in January ‘Gaining Strength through Yoga’, Lisa and I discuss whether we need to work out as well as practise yoga? Or whether practising yoga is enough?
It’s possible to get attached to muscular effort, whether that’s through practising yoga, or working out in the gym. And it’s also possible to get attached to the appearance of strong muscles.
Whether it’s in the yoga studio or in the gym. we need to find equilibrium and balance.
We do need to maintain strength in order to enjoy life, and especially as we age. Strength is very important for the maintenance of independence in later life.
