For those of you who have worked out with me know that I am a big proponent of yoga for its numerous benefits. Flexibility of course is one that gets mentioned along with increased mental development. There are numerous research supported benefits. The increased muscular strength, flexibility, and balance control are the ones I most appreciate from my personal yoga practice. Yoga is an excellent way to counterbalance the muscle shortening that occurs in resistance/strength training that absent a regular stretching practice can lead to strained joints and muscular imbalances.
Yoga Journal has a free web site (yogajournal.com) that is a wonderful resource to various yoga materials, articles, practices, podcasts, poses library and challenges. I took their 21 day challenge last year and loved it. They are offering another 21 day challenge beginning January 9th if anyone is interested, you need to register at yogajournal.com/21daychallenge. It is free and available for beginners and intermediate levels.
Namaste
