To do Yoga for Leg Strength, place your hand on the front of your thigh, and you find the four sets of muscles that make up your strong quadriceps.

You need strong quadriceps to fire up when you go for a jog, take a bicycle ride, take a walk, or perform the WARRIOR POSE and other leg-focused Asanas in yoga.

Strengthening these muscles adds to the enjoyment during work and daily life ?

Yoga Journal notes one primary function of the quadriceps is their support of the knee joint for their instability, but the quads work as their backup system.✅

So keep in mind that those mighty quadriceps you are building work to stabilize and strengthen all the ligaments in your knee while you are pounding the pavement while running or pedaling up those steep grades on your bicycle.

Yoga is a Many Splendor Thing!

IF YOU HAVE NEVER TAKEN A YOGA CLASS or did a yoga workout along with a DVD at home, the chances are that you aren’t familiar with yoga and its many forms.

At times yoga is a simple, gentle stretch that you do upon waking up or before going to bed, while other times, it is a chance to find peace, calm and seek your daily dose of spirituality.?

Yoga is also an excellent way to strengthen your mind and spirit ?

Yoga for Leg and Body Strength

TWO DISCIPLINES IN YOGA, Vinyasa, and Ashtanga offer you a great workout, helping you add flexibility and balance to your strength goals to build a robust body.

? Vinyasa is often referred to as “Vinyasa flow” because of the breathing style you use during the practice. In turn, the breathing ties one pose to the next. Vinyasa yoga helps you build cardio strength while enhancing flexibility and balance.?‍♀️

? Ashtanga yoga requires you to use your body weight to strengthen your quadriceps and your entire body. The alternation between dynamic body movements and sustained isometrics is an ideal way to build practical strength.

Schedule Your Yoga Class

Consider the following workout to get you started if you plan to become your yogi or yogini.

After that you can add or remove poses that doesn’t feel right for your quadriceps
