How to improve flexibility

Hi.

I want to improve flexibility. Any idea how to go about it? I know yoga etc. will help, but I would like to know your personal experiences with different methods

I have also got a mailer from GMB-Gold Medal Bodies, and their Focused Flexibility Program. Has anyone tried it? What were the results like?

Thanks

    Flexibility exercise on a consistent basis. Both dynamic and static stretching.

    Les Mills Body Balance classes (they are a mix of yoga, pilates and tai-chi).

    Yoga is really good for improving flexibiility. I do it for balance issues, but it's low impact and gentle enough to do every day to build strength, flexibility and balance.
