Yoga is a good way for rest and exercise.

Published

I have practicing Yoga in gymnasium for ten months. I have gotten some benefit from practicing Yoga. And my flexibility becomes better. I think that I can develop this habit.

Yoga is a good way for rest and exercise. Do you practice yoga?

Tom, yoga would definately help your body and perhaps your game. Definately will help with stiffness. Many atheletes incorporate yoga.

I dabble in yoga, but for about three years was a regular practioner. I'm slowly getting back into it. I quit about 8 months ago when my budget wouldn't allow me to take classes, but was too lazy to do it at home. I miss it.

my back and my quadriceps have gotten so stiff with all my health problems over the last 7 months. I will try some yoga at lifetimes.

Just now I took a class of Yoga. When I started to Yoga class at first time, I felt my body has some stiff, in particular compared our drillmaster. I had gotten some effect after practicing yoga for six or eight weeks. Now I feel better. I think that Yoga would help anyone. After one month, sometimes I practice at home when I cannot go to gymnasium and follow the drillmaster.

I do Ashtanga yoga. Okay, I did do Ashtanga yoga. It's been awhile (one year at least) but I plan on getting back to it soon. I need something to calm me down! :trout:

When I am good, I will do maybe 6 yoga classes in a week. When I am bad, 0 - 3/ week. I practice a "power yoga" which is similar to the ashtanga primary series but without some of the twisting floor poses. When I am practicing regularly, my body is very happy. My back feels loose, I am more calm, my circulation is good, etc.

Without yoga, my back starts to hurt, my knees hurt, my hips feel tight, my neck gets sore - I feel geriatric.

Yoga is so healing - especially for us nurses.

cardio, strength training and yoga all take care of stress in my world...I find this to be the best gift to give myself, thus it affects those around me when I reduce my stress load and live a more peaceful and serene life, especially in this hurried world!
