Strength workouts alongside yoga practice?

I enjoy yoga, but want to ensure I build strength / my muscles (especially as I get older). Any recommendations or learnings from your personal experience on how best to incorporate strength workouts into my routine?

What’s the name of this pose, please?

New yoga teacher advice :)

I am almost done with my yoga certification and would love to hear any advice or knowledge that has served useful (from yoga teachers). Or if anyone who has taken yoga classes— what do you love about your instructors and/or classes? PLEASE don’t include personality quirks or sayings that you don’t like about your teacher/class. Every teacher is different and has their own phrasing and vibe. That doesn’t mean they are bad yoga teachers, just not the one for you. Thank you!

Yoga after the gym

Hi all, I have done yoga long time ago. Recently I'm way out of my shape and now I am doing cardio and gym. I am thinking of doing 15 minute yoga after the gym as a cool down exe and also for flexibility. I need suggestions on which yoga postures should I practice? Right now I am doing sun salutation, pigeon pose and child pose.

The insight comes from the longest happiness study in history. https://t.co/6Hm9ucIjC6

Turns out, the star of Netflix's "Queer Eye" loves a restorative practice. https://t.co/LNvOFVaitC

Is it that bad? 👀, and what yoga exercises that can make my posture better

anyone with sanskrit knowledge?

Hello! I just did something pretty dumb and I I am looking for someone with knowledge of sanskrit to tell me how bad of a mistake it is!!! Yes, I am that person who got the Sanskrit tattoo and misspelled it. I wanted abhyasa and in my nervousness and tired state I told him abyhasa instead 😭. I just realized someone might be able to help me here --- does abyhasa actually mean anything in sanskrit? How embarrassed should I be? I mean obviously only as embarrassed as I want to be ... but you know ... any input would be so much appreciated!

Spice up Plank Pose with these variations. https://t.co/qGwqnMDnXv

[COMP] Kapotasana. I'll admit I'm proud and often surprised of what my body can do. But more than how it looks, I'm grateful for the journey, the sensations, the curiosity to explore myself & flexibility of the mind that my practice shows me.

[COMP] I've discovered that not a lot of people here are familiar with the use of a chair while doing yoga. It's quite useful for variations, as this one, salamba sarvangasana. Namaste.

As a non-Indian person, use of the word ‘namaste’ during or outside of class. Thoughts?
