    Hi shirl

    Yoga is in the excercise list of this site, search and scroll to the bottom

    Strength exercises are those that involve resistance. For example, lifting weights...

    Yoga is listed, it is considered to be more of a stretching exercise but it is a great exercise so keep that up.
    Nitz is right, weight training, resistance band work, using the styrofoam barbells in the pool etc.

    Resistance bands are great. I have one in my desk at work.
