Before diving into the ways in which yoga will increase your
performance,let me first lay out a few guiding principles in how
to approach yoga postures in the context of strength training:
#1. Yoga is NOT stretching.
Or rather, it is not stretching as you may think of stretching. There are tons of
articles out there telling you not to stretch or whystatic stretching will decrease
performance,and they usually have a picture of a guy sitting on the ground sort of
leaning forward over one leg with a rounded spine, half-heartedly reaching for his
toes while gazing off into the distance.
Well, yes, doing that sort of stretching will certainly not promote any positivegains of any sort for your body. Most yoga postures, by contrast, are a series of
focused isometric contractions coupled with specific breathing patterns that yield
gains in flexibility, mobility, and strength.
#2. Yoga has potential applications for ANYONE.
Youneed not already be hyper-mobileor super-bendy to begin integrating yoga
postures into your training. You also do not need to practice a minimum sixty
minutes of yoga five days per week to get the benefits. There are dozens of
variations and preparatory poses that can meet you where you are at, regardless of
age, injury, athletic goal, or structural imbalance.

How to Combine Yoga With Your Strength Training
I want to highlight two methods of integrating these postures into your training:
Method 1- Add in one full day of yoga practice during a day when you
would normally do a light workout or a day you would normally devote to
active recovery. At the same time, add in fifteen minutes of yoga practiceafter training sessions. Pick just three or four poses each day and work on

them. Focus on just these basic ten postures for now. You can add in all the
other fancy poses later if needed.
Method 2- For twelve weeks, scale back on the intensity of your training.
Devote only two days per week to your strength training, preferably a short-duration total-body workout of a lighter than usual intensity utilizing
exercises such as kettlebell swings, deadlifts, kettlebell front squats, TRX low
rows, kettlebell overhead presses, Olympic lifts and variations, and Turkish
get ups, or whatever lifts compliment your overall goals.
Aim to practice yoga five days per week, four days of just yoga, and one day
of yoga combined with your strength training. Try a few group classes, and
also practice on your own. For the first four weeks, you will probably feel as
if you are getting weaker or not making any strength gains. But keep at it.
Commit to twelve weeks and then transition back to Method #1, integrating
yoga while adding intensity to your current program.
Give one of these methods a try and see what happens. I believe that In the long
run you will be stronger and more importantly you will haveincreased the
sustainability of your training.
Post any questions to comments, and keep an eye out for future articles on the
adjustments, modifications, and nuances of each pose.
