This week Jason and I have a conversation the yoga world has been dancing around for years: Does yoga build strength?
Jason offers an honest framework for understanding the ways that yoga builds strength — and where it genuinely falls short.
What You'll Learn:
Why strength matters — particularly for longevity
The two primary components of strength development and how yoga addresses each one
How yoga builds neuromuscular strength, efficiency, and coordination — and why that's more valuable than most practitioners realize
Why yoga will never produce hypertrophy — and what that means for long-term health, muscle mass, and metabolic function
What progressive overload is and why bodyweight training alone cannot provide it
Why yoga primarily recruits Type 1 fibers and almost never accesses Type 2 fibers and why it matters
Why resistance training and yoga are not competing modalities — they are extraordinary partners
The Iyengar yoga innovation argument: why adding resistance training tools to yoga is no different from what the greatest yoga innovators have always done
