Your muscles will become larger and stronger, the number of small blood vessels — or capillaries — increase, and you end up developing a more defined mass.
If you give it up, though, it won't exactly make your muscles turn to fat or disappear, but it will make your muscles shrink and decrease in mass because your cells don't need the increased blood flow anymore.
You could also gain some weight if you eat more than your body needs to keep going, but your muscles will only atrophy if the quality of your nutrition suffers and you regularly eat things that are bad for you.

By the time I started training clients on my own, in my basement and at local studios, I was a total yoga junkie.
I was learning new techniques all the time and using them in my own life, as well as with my students. My practice evolved and grew, and I did too. As I stepped on my mat every day, without fail, I vowed I always would. But time went on, and I found myself getting bored and restless with yoga. My yoga practice became reduced to sitting on my mat for a few minutes a day, doing a few restorative poses, usually with my baby latched onto my chest.
As my children grew, slowly, time for yoga came back into my life. The time came when I could turn on a show and perform a home practice, or drop them at the gym daycare center and attend a yoga class—and I did. I felt distant and distracted. But because yoga demands concentration, the more distracted I felt, the more I forced myself to stay on the mat, to recommit.
I regained a little core strength. I got bendy again. But I was also bored. The more I practiced, the further I felt from yoga. One day, I rolled out my yoga mat and began a minute long practice in my living room while my kids played outside. Within five minutes I was bored out of my mind. And saying the words felt like relief.
