Yoga and strength training
I was thinking about doing some Yoga with some of the girls I work with (yes I know it sounds a little queer to some people...including myself) and was wondering what effects it would have on strength training.
I am curious because the last few years I have developed quite the stiffness in my whole body, mainly back and legs, and would like to become more flexible. I understand yoga to be quite the workout because of all the balancing you do and holding yourself up in weird positions, which would incorporate muscles I don't normally use in my workout.
Do any of you do yoga or know what kind of cautions I would need to take?
I don't want to over train or diminish any strength gains I am finally making.

I dont know the answer to your question but I go to you 3x a week and there are a TON of Bodybuilder guys in there. Dont let anyone fool you its not as easy or sissy as it appears (you will be surprised.)
Your question - I think it depends on what kind of yoga it is. If its power yoga- Id watch your cardio during the week and heck I dunno about the weights because my WHOLE upper body hurts like SH$T right now all because of yoga.

Since everyone is in agreement that Yoga is a good idea, I guess I will have to do it.
