Yoga is in the excercise list of this site, search and scroll to the bottom0 -

Yoga is listed, it is considered to be more of a stretching exercise but it is a great exercise so keep that up.
Nitz is right, weight training, resistance band work, using the styrofoam barbells in the pool etc.0 -
Thanks found yoga now, not sure i fancy weights, i might try a resistant band instead.
