Many yoga asanas ask certain muscles to *work*. But this doesn’t automatically mean those muscles are strengthening. In order to stimulate strength adaptations, we must meet certain parameters, such as: 🔹high effort – we must work to or close to the point of momentary muscular failure 🔹frequency – we must load the muscle often enough 🔹volume – we must perform enough overall work over time 🔹progressive overload – the load must increase over time Word to the wise, science-based yogis! 🤓
