I had an article published in Amrita, the magazine of Yoga Alliance Professionals, on strength in yoga. it includes:
- an examination of the scientific definition of strength, why it is important, and how it relates to yoga;
- 12 yoga positions that can increase strength, including the parts of the body strengthened;
- the importance of strengthening the core in yoga, plus Donna Farhi’s six-step protocol on how to do this from Pathways to a Centered Body (2017);
- a sequence to strengthen the hamstrings using Farhi’s protocol;
- interviews with yoga teachers on how they view strength in yoga.
