Yes. I train bodybuilding, and I also do yoga. There are several reasons for this:

  1. You’ll feel more relaxed and learn to stay relaxed.
  2. Your overall muscle tone improves as well as alignment.
  3. You’ll add vitality to your spine, improving all systems of the body, especially the glands and nerves.
  4. Digestion improves; gas and bloating lessens.
  5. Your lungs expand, increasing oxygen intake.
  6. You’ll sleep better.
  7. You’ll be less tired during the day with higher energy.
  8. Your immune system will strengthen.
  9. You’ll learn to set aside time for yourself.
  10. You’ll learn to trust yourself more.

These are all huge benefits in bodybuilding.

Performed properly with a qualified teacher, the therapy of yoga movement often benefits physical conditions. Health improves as a result of improved alignment, flexibility or strength. Remember to discuss any issues of health with your medical professional and your teacher prior to starting your class.

And just too simply set the record straight: Your chances of achieving an ultra-fit “celebrity body” just by practicing yoga are – no pun intended – slim. This is certainly not to say that yoga can’t help deliver impressive fitness results. But it takes other forms of exercise – such as cardiovascular training – to help round out the fitness benefits of any yoga practice.

Furthermore, many of yoga’s numerous benefits – for example, increased flexibility, postural alignment, low-back strength, abdominal tone, stress reduction – are far from instantaneous.
