I like strength exercises the most in yoga. Paripurna Navasana, for example, is not easy for me, but then the abdominal muscles are strengthened. Shalabhasana helped me improve my posture, my back became straighter. I like strength exercises the most in yoga.

In my opinion, the name of yoga as power is slightly incorrect, dance would be more suitable, because this yoga develops body flexibility. But this is not important, the main thing is the health-improving effect, but again, it is unlikely to succeed on your own. You can make mistakes during execution, and they - movements, should be smooth, unhurried, but it’s better to try anyway.
