One of the most commonly cited benefits of yoga is its ability to increase flexibility. Surveys reveal that one of the most popular reasons for practicing yoga is to 'increase flexibility.' Even low-intensity yoga increases flexibility. For weight lifters, flexibility is an often overlooked component of optimizing strength training, as it underlies mobility, necessary for optimal movement patterns and gains in strength.
Research has found that muscle growth and strength gains are enhanced when you perform resistance training exercises using the full range of motion. Without pliable muscles, tendons, and other connective tissues, you won't have an adequate range of motion in your joints. This means decreased gains at the gym.
