15 Minutes x 15 Days Yoga Strength Challenge

15 Minutes x 15 Days Yoga Strength Challenge

We lose strength, naturally, as we age and unfortunately, modern life is accelerating the process. We spend most of the day sitting at a desk or a computer and struggle to find the time to stay as fit and healthy as we should.

MD, Peter Attia tells us:

"Virtually every injury a person has is due to an instability because we can’t hold the body in its correct place."

Very few of us need to be as a strong as a powerlifter but if we don't maintain a baseline level of strength, we leave ourselves vulnerable to pain, injury, poor posture and weak bones.

Traditional strength training at the gym is problematic for many reasons and bodyweight training is fast becoming the most popular and effective solution. If you practice yoga to build strength, you also have some additional advantages.

The benefits of building strength through yoga

• Yoga combines strength with flexibility.

• Yoga strengthens the core stabiliser muscles that support your spine.

• Yoga integrates muscle groups to work together rather than focussing on muscles in isolation.

• Yoga emphasises the importance of the breath in building strength.

• Yoga trains balance, which is an important component of functional strength.

• Yoga trains strength dynamically, in all planes of movement.

• Yoga enhances body awareness.

• Yoga is not demanding on the joints.

• Yoga can be done anywhere with minimal equipment.

• Yoga is endlessly variable, which can lead to greater compliance.

• Practicing yoga barefoot strengthens the muscles in the feet, ankles and lower legs.

Testimonials on Abi's Yoga 15 “Yoga For Strength Challenge”

“I've completed the 15-lesson program, and I loved it! A completely different exercise experience. Exactly what my body needed at this point in my life. I will continue with the lessons until I'm comfortable the basics.” Vanita Glenn-Adams

“Es genial porque lo puedes practicar en cualquier sitio y el hecho de que sólo dure 15 minutos cada cápsula ayuda a encontrar siempre el momento. Una práctica muy dinámica con la que siempre te sientes mejor y ayuda a fortalecer tus músculos, algo muy importante dependiendo del trabajo de cada uno. Es fácil seguir los pasos que marca la instructora ¡Muy recomendable!” Judit Aranda Moreno

“Abi's instructions are very clear and concise. Once I was a little more familiar with the poses, I could listen to the video without looking. The whole experience is very smooth, her voice, the way she teaches how to transition into different poses and how to assess them. I like how when she says, 'Relax your face,' chances are I was really scrunching up my face, and I'd have this 'How did she know!' moment :) I started with her other videos, the total body yoga series for beginners, and moved on to these. It's great slowly building up my strength and body confidence with this. Now that I've completed the course, I went from not being able to do a side plank, to being able to do harder variations of side planks. Highly, highly recommend this :)” Adelyn
