Holistic Therapy for Chiropractic and Yoga

MyYogaOnline is happy to introduce Dr. Carla Cupido (Doctor of Chiropractic) as our latest contributing author and exercise science expert. Enjoy her first article "Yoga and Chiropractic":

Hatha Yoga Balancing of Flexibility and Strength

Hatha Yoga explores various methods of expanding into the muscles and joints creating freedom and healing properties. As much as we enjoy creating flexibility from our Yoga poses, we need to understand the necessity of balancing this growing flexibility with strength and endurance.

There is a growing interest in restorative and passive-style Hatha Yoga classes like Yin Yoga. These Yoga practices incorporate a beautiful method of creating layers of physical, mental and emotional release. Yin Yoga is designed to move flexibility through the muscle tissues into the connective tissues.
