Well I don’t lift or run to be of service to others. I mean it helps when necessary and all but definitely not my motivation.
I do it for me. My health, my desire for strength and endurance and to satisfy my vanity.
Yoga is actually pretty fucking awesome and hard. It will loosen your hips, shoulders and neck like no normal stretching routine and, in addition to improving lifting and running performance, added flexibility and agility just feels amazing. Less “tightness”, less pressure et cetera.
Will this awesomeness cure Aids? Nope. Not my problem. But I go to yoga once per week currently. At a commercial gym. I absolutely love it and the ridiculously sexy milfs in tight clothing contorted all over the room.
Wanna know how to pick up chicks at the gym? Be strong, young, good looking and go to a yoga class. Show up early and hang out late to socialize with classmates. The rest takes care of itself.
nothing wrong with yoga if used for the proper reasons. Someone using it as a major help for weight loss (which happens) is not the go to form of exercise.
Lets say you’re stranded somewhere and a rescue plane flys over but you have no way to communicate with them. Simple, the yoga babe bends herself into letters.
Also, I’ve been told by reputable sources that the amout of flatulance going on during a class from all the exertion can cause blindness, nausea, and in some cases peel paint, my wife can confirm this under oath.
I have to say one thing that really grosses me out is MALE bikram yoga instructors. Like, they actually make me feel sorta like puking sometimes. I try to go once a week and almost every dude instructor I get looks like they’re barely 100lbs and they all seem so homosexual. Uhg.

You’re not retarded are you? If so I can type slowly.
Why do you assume the powerlifter, karate guy, and yoga student aren’t the same person? Folks aren’t so one dimensional that their lives can be summed up with a single word description of one hobby.
Yoga is great for:
Judoka, BJJers, and really any martial artist that wants to maintain flexibility and balance
Field sobriety tests. Honestly Yoga and Tai Chi make passing field sobriety tests a breeze no mater how drunk I get.
Dan John said yoga was awesome, and has mentioned it in at least three of his articles. Are you calling Dan John a liar? Are you?!?!
An incredibly demanding workout. There’s a reason why the Yoga DVD is the most hated DVD in the P90X workout series. The stretching and balancing, forward and backwards rolls, and some tough transitions from pose to pose will get one’s heart racing while a pool of sweat begins to spread across the floor.
I had a horse named Yoga. He was fast. I mean really fucking fast. He was a retired race horse, so it was expected of him to be fast. He was pretty awesome. A retarded asshole at times, but mostly awesome when not being a retarded asshole. [/quote]
P90X Yoga is over an hour long and its truly intense!
I think it helps my recovery when I lift too heavy etc.
I dig yoga. Especially Bikram. Especially when cutting weight. Especially prior to getting married, and the class was filled will so many hot, sweaty, athletic women. Yes. Yoga is good.
