Resistance Training or Yoga? Only Tensegrity Can Help You Decide

A yogi claims that resistance training builds tensional capability, while yoga promotes overall integrity. Not an earth shattering metaphor, but I always like a good tensegrity metaphor.
The overall health of the physical body, at least in terms of comfortable, efficient movement, boils down to the maintenance of tensional integrity. I say this because the word tensegrity itself is a contraction of the phrase, “tensional integrity.” This indicates to me a full integration of strength training and yoga posture practice is essential for maintaining a body that can move with strength and grace in any situation.

Resistance training, whether by picking up dumbbells, barbells, or even your own bodyweight, takes care of the tensional part, while yoga practice takes care of the integrity part.
