Flexibility Is Important: So, I went to a yoga class today and

I don't understand how I got sore from yoga, all I did was stretch. If feels like I lifted weights or something lol.

It's the holding of the poses which puts your muscles under tension.

My friend challenged me to do the P90x yoga back when I was in prime track shape,

I could barely finish it

Been a believer in Yoga ever since

Consider seeing a chiropractor. A good chiropractor can make life seem so vibrant after a couple of sessions.

This!!! Went to a stretch therapist about 2 months before I ran my marathon in April and jeezus the benefits. Knocked a good 10 min off my personal best. Started realizing its all about having your glutes on down stretched and open hips. shyt makes a world of difference. I need to start going back before I leave SA. Crazy cheap over here. One session is like $30-35 compared to $125 per session stateside

Yoga is great. However you have to be smart how you push yourself. There are stretches that I have learned in these classes that I include in my post workout stretch routine.

Yoga is great and it isn't easy. I've been doing yoga about 4 years now. It's changed the way I look at working out. When I first started I was so unflexible and was the worst people in the class. I'm 38 now and I'm one of the better ones in the class.
