3 yoga myths I used to believe 👇

1. “If you do yoga, you don’t need to lift weights.”
Yoga can absolutely build strength, but I’ve learned that it doesn’t replace progressive ...
resistance training. Adding dumbbells has helped me build strength in ways my yoga practice alone wasn’t doing — and I think the two complement each other beautifully.

2. “You don’t need to be flexible to do yoga.”
Technically true… but I think this gets oversimplified. You don’t need to already be flexible to start yoga, but significant mobility restrictions can absolutely limit what you’re able to do in your practice. I know because I started there! Working specifically on my flexibility opened up so much more of my yoga practice.

3. “Passive stretching is the best way to get more flexible.”
This one has changed a LOT for me. Passive stretching helped me tremendously, especially in the beginning. But the more flexible I’ve become, the more I’ve realized that flexibility also requires strength. Building control and strength at the end of my range has become an important part of making progress.

Basically, my approach has evolved from just doing yoga → to training strength + flexibility + control.

And if you want to add some strength training to your own practice, I have a full follow-along dumbbell workout waiting for you on YouTube. 💪🧘‍♀️
