Hi ,
Some styles of yoga, such as ashtanga and power yoga, are more vigorous than others. Practicing one of these styles will help you improve muscle tone.
But even less vigorous styles of yoga, such as Iyengar yoga, which focuses on less movement and more precise alignment in poses, can provide strength and endurance benefits.
Physiological Benefits of Yoga
1. Stable autonomic nervous system equilibrium.
2. Pulse rate decreases.
3. Respiratory rate decreases.
4. Blood Pressure decreases (of special significance for hyporeactors).
5. Galvanic Skin Response (GSR) increases.
6. EEG - alpha waves increase (theta, delta, and beta waves also increase during various stages of meditation)
7. EMG activity decreases .
