Yoga can function as a cardiovascular workout, depending on the intensity and the manner in which it raises heart rate. Different styles, particularly vinyasa or flow, can increase heart rate effectively. Moderate intensity yoga, defined as 50 to 70 percent of maximum heart rate, allows for conversation but limits breath control to sing. Continuous movement in yoga can help maintain moderate intensity, making it a dual-purpose practice for both flexibility and cardiovascular health.
Yoga can be considered cardiovascular exercise depending on how it raises your heart rate, particularly during vigorous styles like vinyasa or flow classes.
Moderate intensity yoga can increase heart rate to 50-70% of maximum, classifying it as a cardio workout. Continuous flow helps achieve this effect.
