i really love it....seems like i am way in the minority as far as guys go though ...plus the guy girl ratio is sure not a negative for me!...but no that is not why i am there...i mean it kicks your butt physically...but i am hoping for this more inner peace thingy too......oompa

interesting thing...i read on an inflight mag this week that yoga came from india ages ago and was only created by men for men!....women were verboden....

and what is the best way to find really good instructors?...my local ymca has classes as does a gym or two near me...and i have no idea how much certification these instructors must have

I believe Yoga can be fun

Oompa,

Great for you to have found Yoga. Is this helping from your accident?

I was regularly doing Yoga, then got out of the habit. My goal is to reintroduce it this year. I loved it.

Yoga is a large part of P90X. P90X is that strength training videos from Beach Body. That's how I started doing Yoga. I had some torn tendons, and the stretching in Yoga helped to heal them. Most importantly,Yoga is one of the best isometric exercises you can find. Warriors, dogs, etc. Isometric is an old fashioned way that body builders in the olden days used to train. It makes each muscle strand super strong, and strong at different joint angles. You work up a good sweat doing Yoga!

Tony Horton, the guy on P90X, preaches against the guys skipping Yoga. Yoga prevents injuries, and makes you super strong. Super important.

Namaste,

Skeeter

Hey Found Sheep,

Guys are fraid they turn into pansies in a Yoga class. Tony Horton jokes about it in his P90X original video, "I know most of you guys wouldn't get caught dead in a Yoga class . . . " Think your guy could hack P90X? Even the new version has Yoga! Must do Yoga to be a Tony Horton groupie! Get him P90x . . . he'll HAVE to do Yoga.

Well, it's one of the many DVDs in P90X. . . . and it's in the mandatory P90X schedule for muscle confusion. In his own home/apartment, he'll most likely do Yoga with Tony Horton. Then, his little XX chromosone brain will like Yoga . . . . just like men learn to like vegetables!
