Thank you sir.

Ohhh.. your very welcome dear lady.. ..
now on the off chance of sounding too obsessed.... I must say !I would love it better.. off of you !and crumpled up on the floor.. ..lol

Yes. I'm into all forms... I know my instructor personally....
At my age and my place in this world its a must.... Workouts are key

Hmmmk.....

Yoga is complete and naturalistic science, as it has material for your body,Mind,Senses,Soul. Yoga is the need of the day for fast world to keep balance inside and fit physically and mentally. That is why it exist since thousands of year. Thanks for Indian Priminster for promoting it to the world. Hope after this this science will come to public in much better way.

Love Yoga and now back in Alaska I will resume Hatha & Vanessa Flow at my local native health and wellness center! Tried the Bikram in Florida, but it was to much for me at 65. Still do much weight training but use the Yoga to stretch and keep my balance in line.

Actually when I was doing my boot camps or strength training stuff I loved the Pilates or Yoga to get stretched out again helped to keep myself limber.

I can appreciate those who like yoga and get that it's great for stretching but it's just not something I enjoyed doing. Tried it a couple times. Maybe down the road I'll change my mind. But for now, I like my current routine.

Right on mc.....I'm right with you on this

I've done yoga on and off for years and it's not exhausting, like working out with weights and things like that are. I got into it because I was interested in the spiritual side of it though and when I did meditation it seemed to help me get off medication that I was taking for anxiety.

I still find that going to a yoga class when I'm feeling anxious can be good, although it can be hard to get through a class if you're not feeling too good. I'm not currently going to any classes or practicing but I should start practicing on my own at home again at least. It can be a good way to start the day and the point is to quiet your mind and to get rid of bad habits.

That's putting it crudely and it's more esoteric than that but before I met my ex a few years ago I had been clean and sober and doing yoga for quite a while and she used to say what a happy, healthy guy I had seemed then. What I'm not too into about some yoga systems though is that they're all, "Smoking and drinking is bad and you shouldn't do that at all and you should be a vegetarian." They're not all like that though. I smoked a joint with my first yoga teacher.

Not all vegan for sure, traded shrimp for moose with my Alaska instructor.

Some of the off-topic posts here are so embarrassing. Carry on, carry on...

To tell you the truth I always thought yoga to be mostly BS,

but I do see some very very old people doing it every day, early in the morning in the village next to where I work. It is like they are in a trance. And it appears that they are in better shape then people 40 years younger then them and they always walk around with a smile on there face.

So much for thinking it was BS.

Thats not yoga theyre doing.

yoga is really good, I used to go to yoga classes all the time. i highly recommend it

then what is it?

tai chi, most likely

you may be right.. whatever it is.. it works for them

I have seen a lot of yoga peops that are in excellent shape

I am a lifter but I will say this..I do some yoga now and then and its a different mind set

instead of pushing yourself to get in one more rep or to lift heavier
its about your breathing

and letting things go
and clearing your mind

its about stretching and holding a position
to ease all that stress and tension you carry with you every day

as that eases..you may experience emotions that you were not dealing with
and it will ease up on any aches and pains you have
that may be stress related from tight muscles
