I don't take classes often, but I have a lot of yoga moves in my workout and stretching routine.  I do them daily.

I did last year during the offseason and it really helped my lower back. Never went to an actual class, just used the free sessions offered on demand through our cable provider. This year I've decided that I need to work on building more strength so the yoga's been replaced with light weight training although I mix in some yoga every now and again for flexibility.

Yup.  Great for enhancing flexibility as well as core strengthening.

Not all yoga moves are beneficial. Mobility and flexibility are better gained with full range of motion

strength training. If you build increased range of motion without strength in those new ranges

you will not be able to use it.

if you're doing yoga, you're building strength in every muscle. If you're not, you're cheating at it.

I haven't done a full routine in a while, but yoga is my preferred excercise nowadays. Like @boogielicious , I also incorporate yoga into my stretching routine, but I'd be lying to you if I said I worked out daily. :-P [quote name="papervoid" url="/t/79177/anyone-into-yoga#post_1094802"] if you're doing yoga, you're building strength in every muscle. If you're not, you're cheating at it.[/quote]I agree. You are strenghtening your muscles as you stretch them, or you're probably doing it wrong. It's not high impact like training for gymnastics or anything, but some positions are downright hard.

Corpse pose is strenghtening? [URL=http://thesandtrap.com/content/type/61/id/112013/] [/URL]

Haha I was going to make a corpse pose joke earlier, too. But seriously, it's a pose meant for post routine relaxation/cool-down. Not every excercise is helpful or beneficial, either (i.e. situps or military press). I can probably find a pose you can't do for every pose you find that's easy, so lets just not go down that road. ;-)

Yoga isn't just for mobility and flexibility.  You can build a lot of strength, especially if you get into some of the inversion techniques.  Full ROM lifting is great, but ass to grass squats won't get you to do the splits.  There's a reason both types of exercise exist, and if you think you should only do one without the other you are robbing yourself of potential benefits.

Ha, some of you guys think only about the body, the body, the body.  At the highest levels yoga is all about the interactions between the body, the mind the the spirit.  I challenge anyone to lie on the back, like in the corpse pose, and keep your mind on one, and only one, thought for one minute.  We will see how strong  you are in your mind.

      Best Shot of the Week

      By billchao ·

      Best drive I've ever hit: I will not be answering any questions about the rest of the hole. Or the round, for that matter.

      7 Wood

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      I tried hybrids way back when TaylorMade introduced the copper orange Firesole Rescue, the clubhead having been made of titanium which was still relatively new even in drivers back then. I couldn't hit it well at all, and while the success of hybrids suggests that the modern ones must be quite good,  I'm perfectly happy with the 5, 7, and 9-woods.  Early ones of mine were Top Flite Intimidator 400s made by Spalding... and also made of titanium, now that I think of it.  I still have them in my basement. I do bag a driving iron, but it's a one-trick-pony that never sees fairway use.

      New Maxfli Tour and Tours Balls?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      The last time I played Maxfli balls, Dunlop was still making them. How long ago was that? Mostly, though, I used to play Top Flites (original 336 dimple model) when Spalding was still making them. Now I play the Pro V1x. Last time that I ordered some, Titleist was still making them. Let's see how long that lasts.

      My Favorite Putts

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      Once, on a course in Middleton, Massachusetts that I used to love but has since closed down,  I hit the wrong half of a huge, UK style double green.  Then I made the hundred foot putt.  Tough to  forget that one.

      Are you a Better Golfer than a Year Ago?

      By trombettista_vecchio ·

      No. But if I can still play next year, I'll almost certainly be even worse. That's the reality of not being young.🙁
