To Sara of Fit by Sara: “Can I get a good cardio workout with yoga? Or should I do a separate cardio workout then use yoga to stretch?”
From Sara of Fit by Sara: “You can get an awesome cardio workout with power styles of yoga, such as Ashtanga and Vinyasa. Repeated asanas/salutations can really get your heart rate up and the best part about it is you’ll get so lost in the breath and movement that it won’t feel like it’s taking forever (unlike when you’ve run 40 min. on a treadmill). All the benefits of yoga are incredible-fat loss, weight loss, increase muscle tone and definition, relaxation, and inner peace. Now how can you beat that?!”
