- Why Traditional Strengthening Yoga Classes Falls Short
Many seek strength through repetitive exercises or yoga flows that might lack anatomical precision, leading to imbalances or injury.

Our Students Reviews
LYT Yoga literally changed my life: my posture, my strength, my balance and my spirit. From rounded shoulders, forward tilted pelvis and text neck to more upright, elongated and powerful way of standing and moving. The relentless discipline in sequencing the class into reset to activate the deep core muscles and then practice of asanas aimed to strengthen, stabilize and improve movement patterns makes wonders. It was a transformational experience for me which made me feel stronger, braver, better and more kind.

Magdalena
Practicing LYT has changed my mind set, my body & my overall well being. My body is so much stronger, I feel more centred & in control of my life & feel I have more of a purpose. You don’t need to be a yogi to practice here. Whatever sport you are doing/playing – practicing on LYT daily will enhance your performance but also give you the ability to do the things you love.

Julie Miller
I used to have imbalances in my body, and it wasn’t until I began to practice yoga on the LYT Daily that I began to heal. I credit the LYT Method’s focus on posture, core integration, and optimal movement in healing my frozen shoulder a couple years ago faster than any other method I had tried. If you are at the beginning or at the end of your healing journey, or if your new or a veteran of yoga, you will find so much content to love & incorporate into your daily movement!

Marci McMahon
Life changing. I met Lara in 2016 and after 5 years as a fitness professional (personal trainer, FMS 1,2, TRX, Kettlebells), I felt like I had met the Ghandi of Movement. I have watched LYT literally transform the world of yoga and movement. I am deeply honored to continue my practice and training with LYT and this knowledge and experience is transformative, energizing, and humbling. LYT changed me inside and out. The connections, community, and CORE values are priceless.

Kristi Rosenberg (Herbert)
Before I found Lara and her brilliant LYT method I was told that I should not practice yoga anymore (after 20 years) because my spine was “such a mess.” I am not only practicing LYT yoga daily, I am also a LYT certified teacher — one of the great joys of my life. LYT helps me keep my core stronger than strong and my spine aligned. I feel so much better because I know how to practice and move in fun, functional and optimal ways. Anything is possible, even doing handstands when you’ve made over 60 trips around the sun!

Julie Glick
Unable to simply get out the car without pain, I was educated by Lara and realised that I could move asymmetrically and not have pain. Even better, that I could do fun movements, challenging ones and big ones! I wasn’t going to end up in a yoga practice which was just restorative yoga. Classical yoga kept me small at this time as I couldn’t do it without pain but with LYT I felt expressive, passionate, energetic and joyful. It gave me a whole new lease on life.

Jane Langan
LYT offers so much variety which is wonderful, and it’s so empowering to get to know your body better how it moves and how it works. I was able to find classes that were perfect to support me through the loss of my mum. I love practicing at home but knowing there is a community of people right behind the screen who I can reach out to. It’s perfect and it just keeps getting better and better.

Nyree Petitjean
Learning smart LYT Yoga has helped me become aware of my daily movement habits (good and bad) both on and off the mat. It has taught me how to move in a more optimal manner. Becoming aware is the first step in making positive changes. I love LYT so much that I became LYT certified and I will continue to learn as much as I can through the ongoing certification programs.

Sharon Henderson
I went through a lot of years of formal medical education, but I have never understood and appreciated the power and resilient capacity of the human body more than I do now as a result of my LYT yoga practice. Every class not only offers safe and joyful movement, but also education that is practical and applicable. I feel secure and continue to grow knowing I can access class anytime time or place, but also the platform is always there no matter where I am physically and emotionally in my life.

Leigh Campbell
Since shifting from a traditional style of yoga practice to LYT Yoga, I have learnt so much more about my body and its function which is so important in a movement practice. The experience is whole, I get to move my body, strengthen and nourish it helping me feel great not only physically but it also brings me so much joy during class that I feel renewed each time. It´s something I look forward to doing everyday like a slice of paradise within my day. And that allows me to be there for those who need me the most.

All Your Strengthening Yoga Questions Answered
What is strengthening yoga? / What is strength training yoga?
Strengthening yoga (or strength training yoga) specifically focuses on building muscular strength, stability, and endurance using yoga principles. Unlike some traditional styles, methods like LYT, developed by a physical therapist, emphasize functional movement patterns and anatomical precision to ensure the strength you build is effective, integrated, and supports your daily life safely.
Can you strengthen muscles with yoga? / Does yoga strengthen the body?
Absolutely! You can definitely strengthen muscles with yoga, leading to a stronger overall body. Bodyweight poses create resistance, and practices like LYT amplify this by incorporating biomechanics and neuromuscular control techniques. We focus on activating the right muscles, including deep core stabilizers via concepts like the Triple S, to strengthen the body intelligently and sustainably.
What type of yoga is best for strength?
The best type of yoga for strength often involves dynamic sequences, controlled holds, and mindful transitions that challenge your muscles. Look for methods grounded in a deep understanding of anatomy, like the LYT Method. Our approach ensures you’re not just holding poses, but building true functional strength through purposeful movement and optimal alignment, making it exceptionally effective for strength gains.
Can yoga burn fat?
While yoga can contribute to fat burning, its primary mechanism differs from high-intensity cardio. Consistent strengthening yoga, like LYT, builds lean muscle mass. More muscle increases your resting metabolism, helping your body burn more calories over time. LYT’s focus on efficient, full-body movement also contributes to calorie expenditure during practice, supporting fat loss as part of a healthy lifestyle.
Is yoga better than cardio? / Is yoga better than gym?
It’s not about one being definitively “better”; yoga, cardio, and gym workouts offer different primary benefits. Cardio excels at cardiovascular health, while gyms allow for heavy lifting. LYT Strengthening Yoga uniquely builds integrated strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, balance, and crucially, body awareness through precise alignment. It complements cardio and gym work beautifully by enhancing functional movement and reducing injury risk.
Is just yoga enough exercise?
Whether just yoga is enough exercise depends on your specific goals and the type and intensity of your practice. A vigorous, consistent strengthening yoga practice like LYT provides significant benefits across strength, endurance, and flexibility. However, for peak cardiovascular fitness, many experts recommend adding dedicated cardio. LYT provides a strong foundation, ensuring the movement you do is smarter and more effective.
Why choose LYT's online classes for strengthening yoga?
LYT online strengthening yoga classes offer unparalleled access to expert instruction rooted in physical therapy, right from your home. You get the consistency of daily new classes, a vast library (500+) filterable by focus (like ‘Strength’), and the flexibility to practice anytime, anywhere. It’s expert-led, anatomically precise strengthening, made incredibly convenient.
What makes LYT's online strengthening yoga instruction unique?
Our online strengthening yoga instruction stands out because it’s directly informed by Lara Heimann’s physical therapy expertise and the LYT Method’s core principles (like the Triple S). You learn the why behind every movement, ensuring safe, effective strength building. Access classes taught by Lara herself and highly trained certified instructors who understand functional anatomy deeply.
How do LYT online classes help me progress in strengthening yoga?
LYT online classes provide a clear path for strengthening yoga progress. With classes categorized by level (beginner to advanced) and focus (core, upper body, etc.), you can systematically build strength. The platform’s structure, including The Reset™, Sequences, and The Stream™, uses neuroscience principles to help you retrain movement patterns effectively, ensuring sustainable gains in functional strength and capability.
