Regular yoga practice builds muscle mass in healthy adults.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that regular yoga practice builds muscle mass in healthy adults?

Partly. One reference work indicates some yoga styles involve muscle building, and a 2025 study shows yoga poses acutely activate muscles, while another paper suggests ordinary regular yoga may be too mild to change fat-to-muscle ratio. None of the retrieved items measures whether regular yoga practice actually increases muscle mass in healthy adults.
