I'm starting yoga in the morning - because I think stretching will be beneficial as a compliment to my general strength training and because when I went to the free trial lesson I enjoyed myself, came out feeling physically tired and yet very energetic. I think that the cost is a little high for what it is, but it's still worth it.
There were also some *ahem* charming young women there, which doesn't hurt.

I read an article in the New York Times today that yoga started out as a sex cult.

nearly every integrated stretching/tensing technique is a rip off of yoga, yoga itself is a breathing discipline that re-calibrates your awareness of proprioception and motor control by training you to take in oxygen steadily, whilst overcoming sensations of discomfort. thus it combs the mind of its emotionally-formed tangles and gently un-shutters the senses, eventually allowing you to consider more raw data simultaneously i.e. mind-expansion.

@apestaartje321 I think they're just saying that the spiritual aspect of yoga. Yoga is just exercise.

@TheCrimson7272 Exactly, yoga is form of exercise.. they don't really mention that here though, they just blow it off as bullshit.

@apestaartje321 but...stretching and staying in shape cause most of those benefits. =P lol at people thinking that staying in shape cant POSSIBLY be the reason why they feel better.

i wanna see a yoga strip club :P in SF... with hot hoes... for free!!!!!
Every now and then they'll throw the baby out with the bathwater.. regardless of the spiritual nonsense, yoga is obviously a bit more than just stretching, and has been shown beneficial for all types of stuff.
