Most of the women I've seen do yoga are a bunch of old big-bottomed hippie women. Not that there's anything wrong with that, especially at my age.

Do draft dodgers have reunions? And if so what do they talk about?

I do an awful lot of running on both hard surfaces and turf. In the past, I would experience muscle strains and lower back discomfort from all the mileage. Since I began yoga, I have had no significant injuries or joint stress. I attribute it partly to adding yoga as a systematic method of stretching and flexibility training. If you strength train or power lift, I highly recommend adding yoga to your rest day routine.
Oh, BTW - There are tons of routines available on-line for no charge. Unfortunately, you don't get to hang out in a class full of sweaty, wide-bottom hippie moms...

That's exactly what I've been doing since I was 20.... So Yoga is the perfect compliment to my Weight Training. The Yin and the Yang. It really opens everything up, not only physically but mentally too. And the breathing techniques which are practiced also can have amazing benefits.Originally Posted by Smoked!
Actually, I've lost 40 lbs since I started Yoga in January... Hahaha. I was 230 now I'm down to 190But I've retained my upper body size, and am flexible as shit, lol

Sounds good. I need to try that out. Just landed in LA for the week for work.If I'm going to pick this up maybe I should try it here so if (when actually) I make a fool of myself no one back home will know.

I wouldn't mind being able to do both...I'd like to be able to do this in 6 months, I'm talking about the posture not the girl
This is a very complex posture. Do lots of core work. Try to find the P-ninety X yoga workout. It helps build strength in all of the common Ashtanga postures and adds balance for heavy lifting. jmho. Kicks your a$$ too.

Sorry - I missed this post earlier.
I was introduced to yoga about two years ago by a fellow runner while recovering from a muscle injury. At first, I was only interested in stretching routines. Now, I think I understand the general core requirements and balance of yoga. There is no way I will ever achieve the level of Ms. Budig. Who has that kind of time? I remain interested in simple postures and training.
Speaking of Kathryn, she is quite an athlete. Thanks for posting up the link to her y'all-toob page. I watched a few of her recorded classes and I was very impressed with her style. She seems to be very grounded and a practical coach. It's good to know there are a few pros in the field that can teach without getting too caught up in the "Eastern Mindset." jmho.
BTW - I'm still just practicing.
