    I've recently returned to yoga, and, with the right instructor, find it both physically challenging and calming. Unlike when I use the treadmill, I find it very centering, even when I'm exerting myself a great deal.

    OMG! I LOOOOOVE Yoga! I do it everyday! Its a great workout, plus its great mentally too! I totally reccommend it, it makes ANY other workout (elliptical, jogging, biking etc) much easier because you are soo much more flexible and it builds lean muscle which is easier to move. I will say though, there are times that you think you are going to die, because when you are on the floor trying to balance your WHOLE body with only one hand and one foot on the ground (side plank pose), your whole body just shakes and its so very difficult to hold for nearly a minute. But the challenge is what makes it great because each time you do it, you notice its a little easier and you've become a little stronger with each workout!

    Yoga is fantastic no matter your size or ability. everything is modifiable so you never feel defeated and there is no competition. if you find yourself in a class of judging people try a different one. It shouldn't be that way.

    Yoga is something you can learn to do at home. I am well over my ideal weight, have lots of stress in my life, and I find yoga to be relaxing, yet challenging, muscle-building, (which means fat-losing) and keeps me flexible. I love holding the airplane pose.
