Both yoga and strength training offer incredible health benefits, but they serve different goals. Here is a breakdown of how each supports your body, so you can choose what suits your lifestyle best. Tap to read!
Flexibility
Yoga aids not only in deep stretches but in poses as well to create flexibility. Strength training builds functional mobility.
Balance
Yoga improves balance with poses, developing coordination and stability. Strength training strengthens the core, which improves balance indirectly.
Stress Reduction
Yoga calms with breath and mindfulness. Strength training reduces stress by releasing endorphins and improving confidence.
Muscle Building
Yoga makes lean muscles with body weight, while strength training is best for large amounts of muscular gains and strength through resistance.
Bone Density
Yoga is good for retaining bone health, especially with weight-bearing poses. Strength training is much more potent at increasing bone density by loading bone with resistance.
