Yoga vs stretching

Lisseth03

i'm on day 4 of p90x and today's day is yoga, now i have tried this before and failed miserably, i know yoga is supposed to be a relaxation thing "breathe" they say, but how can I breathe when my body cannot twist and bend that way????!!!

i'm thinking of substituting X stretch for Yoga, has anyone done this?
i'm thinking maybe a month of that and on the second month try and ease into yoga.

any thoughts?

I struggled with it at the start too, I find that theres really good balance in the program and that the yoga routine is a nice lead in into the legs and back routine on day 5. Ive got lower back issues and I the yoga is better than any visit to the chiropractor that Ive ever had. I know that this is gonna sound corny but stick with it.
I remember at the start I couldnt do that move where you reach behind your back and under your leg, but by the end, no problem!
Youll get there!
