I'm starting a yoga class in a few weeks, so excited. For those that have done yoga, how has it helped your workouts?

    I do the slightly more athletic types (mostly vinyasa, with a sprinkling of ashtanga) and it's definitely helped my overall strength (as, after all, there's a fair amount of bodyweight work). Its definitely also helped my flexibility. And, not work out related, I've definitely seen improvements in muscle definition since dramatically upping the amount of yoga I do.

    Just remember, anything you like to do consistently is going to make your fitness routine easier!

    It's hot yoga, that's vinyasa i believe. After losing the 20lbs everything as become a bit easier, so hopefully it'll help in my strength trainings
