When searching for the best-suited exercise regime, factors like calorie expenditure, functionality, injury prevention, stronger muscles, personalisation based on bio-individuality, fluidity, and stress reduction are instrumental. Yoga excels in all these factors with flying colours. This book will thoroughly dive deeper and help you understand the role of yoga with relevant research. Yoga, especially vinyasa and sun salutations, can burn more than 400 calories per hour, higher than basketball, tennis, callisthenics, and strength training (Gordon 2014; Joshua and Dunbar 2016; Carroll et al. 2003). In terms of functionality, yoga mimics real-life body movements and is safer than machine-based exercises, primarily because the sense of joint positioning (proprioception) supersedes and prevents injuries, whereas machine-based exercises have more risk of injuries (Maior and de Assis 2023). For those who strictly need aesthetic gains and enhanced muscle mass, I recommend a ‘muscular yoga’ regime where dumbbells, barbells, resistance bands, etc. can be integrated. However, it goes against the conventional approach. Based on needs, exercises should be personalised—with more modifications, yoga can accommodate more individuals and perform better than other physical exercises (Govindaraj et al. 2016, 242–53). Beyond physical realms, yoga’s mental, social, and spiritual gains are unparalleled. As you will witness throughout the book, yoga is an ancient wisdom relevant to date with the backing of science and many proven benefits.
