thought this was a misplaced JBO thread
I never done ddp yoga but I do yoga. Yoga is the best form of workout I do. Nothing has helped me with body, mind and breathing like yoga has. I'm no longer in pain after heavy work out days and incorporate my yoga techniques into my other workout routines like running basketball and weightlifting. I also see more changes in my physique since starting yoga.
did you start to lose weight after doing yoga? i'm pretty slim already and i lost 4 lbs in less than a week after starting yoga
is it possible to do this and not lose weight at the same time? i'm already lifting and eating more...am i just doing too Much?
Once you get your breathing under control and start getting balance the poses come more natural. Yoga was hard for me at first and i could not clear my mind cause i would focus more on the pose then remembering to breathe. if you need to Scale back on the pose and focus on your breathing and it will come a lot easier. There is going to be some poses that will be hard so just do what your body allows you and do not force it. I am not sure how p90x teaches but a lot of what made it easier for me was the instruction the yoga instructor gives. He gives tips on what you are doing wrong and how to correct them.I've never understood how yoga is meant to clear your mind and be relaxing. When I tried P90X, yoga was the toughest damn workout. How the hell is it supposed to clear your mind if you're busy struggling to twist your body into all sorts of poses?

I take a class at the gym. I used to be the most unbalanced and inflexible person around with horrible breathing habits. I couldn't even cros my legs The problem with video is you do not have somebody to correct you when you do something wrong. Now i do it on my own more often then in class. I used to be the worst student now I am one of the better ones. I used to hate stretching. Now it's so relaxing.Do you go to a class or have a program you'd recommend? The P90X version rubbed me wrong way. I might be more inclined to try it again with a different program.
