Im interested in getting a good workout–can yoga practice count as exercise as well, or do I need to lift weights and go to the gym?
If you practice a more vigorous style of yoga regularly, you’re likely to find it more than meets your needs. If this is your goal, look for a class labeled “ashtanga,” “vinyasa,” or “power.” Also, other yoga styles frequently incorporate sun salutations, which provide a vigorous and full-body workout. Ask your teacher about more vigorous sequences.
