Yoga, Health, and Wellness Articles + Recipes

When you think about yoga, the first benefits that might come to mind are stress relief, better posture, and increased flexibility. While yoga is certainly a go-to practice for mental health and mobility, it’s also a powerful way to build strength. This week’s theme, Upper Body Love, is a celebration of how yoga can transform not just your mind but your shoulders, arms, wrists, chest, and upper back. Unlike weightlifting, which uses external resistance, yoga relies on your body weight and the force of gravity to develop strength. This unique approach creates a balance of power and flexibility while improving posture and relieving tension in areas where many of us hold stress. Yoga engages multiple muscle groups simultaneously, which creates balanced strength while promoting stability and mobility.
