Exercise is Exercise, Yoga is Yoga. They are two different things.
I have been going to the gym for over 16 years and worked in gyms for many years before Yoga life. It's no surprise that when I went to the Yoga world, I loved the power, the sweat, the intensity and it gave me lots of benefits back then.
Now that I am a little bit more knowledgeable about Yoga/ energetics and I understand the impact of Prana Vayus. It becomes necessary to separate Workout to work IN. Yoga is Yoga, Exercise is exercise and they should be practiced separated if we want to progress in our levels.
Last year I decided to separate Yoga from sweating and shaping the body. I do that at the gym. What most people don't know (and I did not know too) is that our Yoga practice impacts largely on our nerve system. If we are already always rushing, pushing and burning out - guess What? The nerve system will have a hard time slowing down, resting (then insomnia), calming (then anxiety), quieting (then fidgeting and agitation).. If your Yoga is making you exhausted, if your Yoga agitates you in the room, if your Yoga is not helping you to sit still. I would consider to re-think the style of Yoga you are practicing ❤
Gym for workout, Yoga for the work IN. The more you are running HOT, the more should be the countering that by doing COOLING down practices.
