This is my first post here, in years since I joined.

I started practicing Yoga 2 years ago. At first was just for fun. But now I'm really in love with it and it really makes me more fit, and of course more healthy.

Yoga is not only about flexibility, it also helps burn fat, any part of the body, you choose it.

I definitely recommend Yoga as a path towards fitness because it can be practice even when i grow old

I'm now practicing everyday, attend classes or practice at home, 1 - 2 hours.

yoga is so popular now. i m going to learn it for flexibility.

btw, do u read THE YOGA INSTRUCTOR DIARIES. i think she is the celebrity yoga instructor after nescafe kick-start.

Yes, she's my idol. I really look up to her.

Where are you going to take up Yoga classes?

in celebrity fitness as i m member there.

is it weird for guy to learn yoga? haha.
especially, i m very inflexible

No !! I've seen guys attending Yoga classes in FF....and they are wayyy more flexible than ME !!
Easier option would be Body Balance. .. Btw...I don't really sweat much during Yoga. wrong breathing technique?

where do u learn Yoga? I've tried Hot Yoga at True Fitness...not bad...

I attend classes in YogaZone. They have hot yoga too.

You didn't sweat much in class maybe because you're not activating your muscles for the postrues? Because contracting muscles generate heat and we sweat. But then again, each individual is different, maybe you are just not the "sweaty" type during sports nothing wrong

Actually yoga is becoming more popular in guys nowadays. I see so many of them during classes, especially those advance classes.

Since you think you're not that flexible, then all the more reason to practice yoga and yoga keeps you fit too. A lot of my male teachers are very muscular one, hehe.

talking about yoga class with a 40+ years old guy during workout. he join the class on every tuesday 7pm. so next tuesday will be my first yoga lesson. hopefully i won't sprain or cramp myself

after 2 year of practicing yoga, how advanced r u ?

Hehe, sorry to say there're still many poses I can't do. All standing and twistings are fine. I'm rather weak at arm balancing and inversion poses. So I planned to go to gym to take some weights for my arms

I'm a guy who just started yoga recently back in May.

After trying my 1st yoga class, i felt that It's essential to me if I would like to get back into competitive martial arts as i've been taking rest for the past 2 years due to knee surgery.

2 years of not doing stretching really makes my flexibility drop
So yoga is the tool flexibility + strengthening

happy training !
