The best strength training for yogis

Get fit for life

The missing ingredient is spirituality. We’ve spoken about strength and nutrition this month, but there’s a missing piece: spirituality. Not religion, not rituals—just being more alive, more you. From mindful walks to moments of stillness, discover how simple practices can bring balance, meaning, and connection to your September routine.

Yoga therapy isn’t a niche anymore. It’s now a front-line response to mental health challenges, trauma recovery, and stress disorders.
What makes it powerful? It directly influences the autonomic nervous system — your internal control panel for calm vs chaos.

Key takeaway:

"Conscious breathing and mindful movement regulate the body’s stress response — reducing anxiety, improving heart rate variability, and restoring emotional balance."

That’s not just yoga fluff. That’s measurable. That’s trainable. That’s life-saving.

Florida International University neuroscientists have shown that controlled physical stress—from ice baths to hard sets—actually reprograms our pain receptors, teaching the brain to perceive discomfort as opportunity, not threat (FIU Study, 2024).

“Is Modern Coaching Just Ancient Yoga in Disguise?”I caught a tweet last week pointing out that today’s top trainers and therapists are, in effect, dusting off yoga’s oldest lessons and selling them under new names. It made me grin—because I’ve been saying this for years. Whether they realise it or not, every breath-focus drill, every mindset reframe and every “find your why” moment is yoga’s toolkit in disguise. Here are a few places where their paths meet.

If you’ve ever left a yoga class thinking “I want more of this in my life”—this course is for you.

If you’ve felt the benefits of a retreat and thought “I wish I could understand what made me feel that good”—this course is for you.

You don’t need to want to become a teacher (though some do, later). This 100-hour training is for students. For people who love the way yoga makes them feel—and are ready to explore how it actually works.

What makes this course different?
Unlike most trainings, this one doesn’t just focus on posture or tradition—it weaves together the most effective tools from yoga, exercise science, nutrition, and modern psychology to give you a complete system for living well.

The Case for the "Best" Yoga Poses

Of course, declaring any pose as the "best" is subjective. The human body is incredibly complex and individual, making it impossible to crown a single pose as supreme. However, these two poses consistently offer profound benefits, making them staples in many practitioners' routines.
