    Yes! For sure. Keeps muscles flexible and helps decrease soreness the day after. I stretch for 15-20 minutes daily.

    If it makes you happy, it can't be that bad. But seriously, I think it's ok. Yoga isn't a strenuous activity.

    I don't personally do yoga but I do stretch for about 20 minutes before AND after weight lifting and I love it. IMO it helps with my flexibility quite a bit.

    This. Yoga definitely helps with flexibility and soreness.

    And it has its own benefits too. I find it relaxes me and lifts my spirits considerably.

    we used to do a yoga class right after powerlifting training. it was great. stretching and having good mobility definitely helps with my lifting.

    Depends on what you consider "helps".

    I enjoy yoga after lifting heavy or just by itself. It definitely has its benefits for me and my health.

    I am with all these others. I am not sure I would have the energy for a real yoga practice session after lifting. But I am a major advocate for much, long, slow stretching afterwards.
