There are a lot of people who would like to have a more toned and muscular body. There is just one problem: they do not want to do the needed exercises that will help them gain more muscles. The best thing that you can do when this happens is to do yoga.

Take note that yoga will not help you gain more muscles but this will allow you to strengthen your muscles so that you can have the postures that you want. The more that you are able to strengthen your muscles, the stronger that you will begin to feel. The best thing about yoga is you can do it in the comfort of your own home.

The yoga exercises have been rightly assumed for so long to help in achieving flexibility in the body. As a matter of fact, there are some exercises or postures that you can practice or access which would also increase your muscle and strength. These yoga exercises would build muscle and strength in your legs, arms, and core. The amazing thing about these yoga exercises is that you do not need to visit the gym or work with weights. The building of muscles eventually helps to boost metabolism, increase brain health, improve bone density, and also improve sleep. There are several yoga exercises that you can do that will help in adding strength to you; these exercises or postures are dolphin pose, forearm plank, tree pose, horse pose, crow pose, handstand, L-pose, squat, high lunge, variations of chair pose, and low side plank.
