If you want to change the shape of your muscles, you can do so by the exercises you do. For example, have you ever noticed that swimmers have strong v-backs? Gymnasts are small with proportional muscles? Bicyclists have thin caves and strong thighs? Yoga is amazing for creating long, lean muscles. I have seen first hand how my body has changed since I started doing more yoga. I used to have short, thicker muscles, and since I have increased my yoga classes my muslces have the appearance fo being longer! The reason this happens is because yoga focuses on “lengthening the muscle” by holding poses for extended periods. Besides lengthening the muscles, yoga increases muscle tone, improves flexibility and leaves one feeling relaxed and centered. With all of those benefits, don’t you think it’s worth a try?!
