    I do-but very boring. I do it for flexibility-regardless.

    I do it about once a week on one of the xbox games called Your Shape.. I also have a DVD but I'd like to take a class someday.. I find that I feel really good and can breathe better after I do it. :smile:

    I do yoga weekly and definitely want to do more of it, but I have to fit other cardio and strength training in some days!

    I fell in LOVE with Bikram yoga last summer and I'm looking for a studio around here BUT I will be going to a hot yoga class (similar, but not the same unfortunately) next week! :bigsmile:

    I include yoga to my workout regimen. I must admit, i started yoga to check on girls but recently i attend yoga classes to actually focus and learn from the yogi.

    the reason that i became interested is that i notice that it healed by back pain which becoming a pain now that i'm in my 40's. also i feel calmer too. also improved my sports participation, friends told me that i move better but i can't say "it's the yoga" to macho guys. most importantly i notice that my sex performance improved in many ways.

    I Love Yoga!

    My workout schedule, time & $ don't allow me to take any classes right now. But, it is still part of my routine at least 4 times per week!

    I like doing yoga but I was bummed to see how few calories it burns once I joined MFP. I hear the yoga section of P90X is pretty intense and actually burns cals.

    I did yoga when I was young, but cannot do it now because of a bad back and injured hip. I'm finding yang-style Tai Chi to be a perfect substitute. It is mindful, in the way that yoga is, but fully exercises the joints in a way that yoga doesn't.

    If anyone is looking for an alternative to yoga, try tai chi. The burn in calories is extremely high. And it is a weight bearing exercise as well.

    Yoga is how I found my way back to fitness from fatness. I was about 240 lbs and completely out of shape when a friend invited me to a yoga class. I went out of sheer frustration with myself, but was in LOVE after that first class. I go once or twice a week and seriously feel it in my muscles when I miss. It is the icing to the cake of a well-rounded work out routine. (Probably not good to use a cake analogy on a weight loss site, but whatever's clever)
