Lipitor, also known as atorvastatin, is a medication used to lower cholesterol levels and prevent cardiovascular disease [1]. While there is no direct evidence that Lipitor affects yoga performance, it is important to understand the potential side effects of the medication.

One study found that patients taking atorvastatin experienced an increase in muscle symptoms such as pain, tenderness, and weakness [2]. These symptoms could potentially impact one's ability to perform yoga poses that require strength and flexibility. However, it is important to note that the study did not specifically examine the impact of atorvastatin on yoga performance.

Another study found that atorvastatin may have a negative impact on exercise performance in general, as it can reduce the body's ability to produce energy [3]. This could potentially impact one's ability to sustain physical activity, including yoga.

It is important to consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new medication or exercise routine. They can provide personalized guidance on the potential risks and benefits of taking Lipitor and how it may impact your yoga practice.
