Strength training???

[Guest guest]

People who're unaware wonder how an xercise pattern that is slow and deliberate

can ever add muscle mass to body. Yoga adds much more than just muscle to the

body. It adds the right amount of miscle, tissue etc at the right place in the

right quantity. Lets say your bisceps need muscle mass equal to 4 and your

stomach requires rejuvenation, tissue etc of 7 then the yoga pattern you follow

will add only that much. The yogis always gave a lot of importance to digestive,

breathing, backbone functions.If you think it over a person may not work till

the day he dies but he surely needs oxygen and nutrition till he lives.

Yoga place emphasis at he right spot. This is what is amazing about yoga, It

started centuries ago yet it took so many factors into account and it has

remained unaltered and unchanged by time unlike all your modern methods. One day

they say take a protien diet next a carbohydrate one and out of the blue come

out with news like protiens or carbs or whatever can cause cancer or aids or

infertility or osteoporosis or TB or malaria or whatever.

Not so the great YOGA it has remained constant and unchanged ever. This fact

alone speaks volumes about the discipline.There was no doctor, no testing

equipment, no meters, no electricity, no science atomic or otherwise as we know

it today.

Reply to me if you need further info. No more rhetoric.

Hello! I'm new to this forum, and new to ashtanga yoga. I have only been to

a few classes

and have followed a DVD for power yoga (a.k.a. ashtanga?) My fiance has been

trying to

encourage me to go to the gym to enhance my workout - to build strength (and

muscle

mass.) I'm not a huge fan of the gym, and am wondering whether my ashtanga

workout is

enough to build strength/muscle mass. Any information would be appreciated!

i'd suggest to thinking back the origin ideal concept of asana practicing, not

only for build up muscle for difficult posture. so, why doing gym for strength

in order to practice yoga? let's practice the yoga. "practicing, then all will

come"

NAMASKAR!

 

WHAT IS DIFF. BETWEEN ASAN & GYM(EXERCISE):

 

1. ASAN IS FOR BODY AND MIND ALSO, YOUR MIND WILL TURN

TO SPIRITUAL.

2. THERE R STEAYNESS IN ASAN. IF YOUR BODY WILL STEADY

YOUR MIND WILL ALSO STEADY FOR MEDITATION.

3. ASAN IS FOR KUNDALINI AWAKING - AND FOR SELF

REALIZATION.

When I started practicing Ashtanga yoga, I was

simultaneously doing regular strength and cardio

workouts at the gym. If I hadn't done that, my

practice probably would not have advanced to where it

is today. At the time, I was pretty overweight and

had not done any real exercise for about a year. I

was practicing Hatha yoga, but without any real

results for muscle tone. After about two years of

doing both kinds of workouts (Ashtanga and

weights/cardio) I was able to comfortably drop the

weights/cardio routine. I haven't done either for

about a year and have maintained my weight and muscle

tone. Personally, for me it was important to do all

of them at one point to progress physically. I think

whether you do a combination really depends on your

physical fitness starting point. Best, Rochelle
