rob speaks the truth.

but seriously, yoga is very beneficial and i cant recommend it enough.

First word of warning: there are hundreds of different kind of yoga teachers and classes. Personally I avoided dynamic yoga, which is almost like cardio, asshatanga yoga, power yoga and what ever has the word dynamic or active yoga in it. Just too much work.

Then there are some yoga teachers and classes who like the esoteric and mystical bulls**t, low tolerance for that so I just avoid it.

What I like to go to is slow, deep stretching and relaxing yoga like iyengar yoga, yin yoga and stuff like that. Those are the dogs bo***cks, they start with warm up poses and sequences and then move to long deep hip, hamstring, lower back, pelvis etc stretches. You will stretch yourself like never before. And who does an hour long stretching sessions anyway? No one! But at a yoga class the time goes by quickly (rob, resist making jokes here!) and if the teacher is good they are planned with a purpose in mind, focusing perhaps to one or two areas but giving a whole body treatment.

I cant see how this is not good stuff in our game. Injury prevention, relaxation, recovery, stretching its all there.
