Yoga as a strength training? (lemm.ee)

How do you think - can you use yoga as a strength training with bodyweight? Have you done it already? Do you find yoga boring?

.. (Yoga has a reputation of something light or relaxing, but I think it depends from a teacher. I am a PT and a Fitness instructor as first and when I call my workouts "yoga" - it´s quite far from a usual yoga session as it´s designed to be a strength training. Even my stretching workouts are partly strength trainings. And mentally it can be harder than a weightlifting. )

it actually does, there are good poses and movements for the arms and shoulders too - as chaturanga, dolphin, forearm plank, reversed plank, side planks variations and even upward facing dog 😃 and all the arm balances are exellent for this goal, but usually rarely done in yoga classes 😃
