Is Yoga Good for Cardio
So is yoga good cardio for you? The answer is yes, maybe, or maybe not. Let me explain.
In my early years of yoga, my practice put me solidly in zone 2 for over an hour, and I’d hit zones 3 and 4 at least a couple of times in class - amazing!
Today, I struggle to even get past zone 1 simply because the poses are more familiar. Unlike running or cycling where you can simply speed up as you become more trained, it doesn’t work like this in yoga. Yoga is still amazing - and I practice daily - but I also include other activities to train my heart.
Q: Ever checked your heart rate during yoga?
