Yoga is one of the best forms of exercise. It tones and lengthens muscles, improves flexibility, and is know to relieve massive amounts of stress. Regular yoga is fantastic for its low-impact quality, but what about those of us who want a little more oomph?
Well, that's where Iron Yoga comes in. It's a hybrid of yoga and strength training, so you get the best of both worlds. Here's how it works - when you are in a yoga pose you pick up a couple of dumbbells so you can challenge your upper body to build strength. Which is a really good idea if you already do yoga but need a little more work in your upper body and arms. I'm thinking Jennifer Aniston and Courtney Cox Arquette!
It's a good way to save time and tone your arms, while still reaping the awesome benefits of yoga.
(don't forget to ALWAYS consult a fitness professional before trying a new workout)
