Incorporating weights into your yoga sessions can help you to yield results at a quicker pace by increasing strength and stabilizing muscles in the shoulders, arms, and legs. In a holistic sense, pairing weights and yoga together has many advantages. However, this needs to be done with caution, to do this safely, you should only use weights that are proportionate to your ability. If you use weights that are too heavy, this can cause strain or injury and hinder your practise.
