Truthfully, I've been on again and off again with yoga, over quite a few years. I'm on again.

With each session, my joints feel "well-oiled". Over time, with consistent practice, I get more flexible and mobile. Over time, it can help me be more mindful of how my body feels (so affect things like posture improvement and strain-avoidance). It helps my balance and coordination.

I haven't done the very strength-focused forms (with handstands and things), so I haven't gotten material strength gains I can see (especially since I do other things that are more strength-y), but I've known people who did only those types of yoga who were impressively strong.

I tried years ago but couldn't do a lot of moves due to a back issue. I did find DDP Yoga. Used to be called Yoga for regular guys. I've done 1.0 and 2.0 DVD's the last few years and helped me a lot until I tore a rotator cuff (nothing to do w/ the yoga I was being stupid). They have a streaming service or you can find the 1st workout (Energy) online to try out

I do yoga a couple times a week as I like to keep my fitness routine well-rounded and balanced. It really helps with recovery as well, plus it feels great.

However, I enjoy doing more dynamic and static stretching to keep my body limber and flexible. I personally find that yoga sometimes move too fast for me.

Stretching allows me to get deeper into the muscle and to continues to help improve my range of motion movements.

Not really yoga, but basically deep, slow stretching. I'm hoping that I'll achieve what I could not do as a child: splits. So far I can rest my upper body on one leg sitting with the other leg angled inwards. Not too shabby

I’m thinking about starting yoga. I have low back issues and I hear it’s good for that
