Flexibility

[Paul Arden]

I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this but is anyone doing yoga for flexibility? I’ve been putting my body through quite a lot of hard work over the past 18 months. (I was expecting to compete in a few long distance triathlons this year – postponed again!). I’ve definitely lost some flexibility. I can usually always tell when someone does yoga. And I would imagine that it would be good for distance casting. Anyone here with any expertise or knowledge? There appears to be a few different branches/styles, not unlike another world I know.

Thanks, Paul

I downloaded an App last night and I’m feeling a deep sense of connection to the Earth’s energy field. But my knees are still stiff.

Sod your yoga, fix the db.

Just sayin' ;-)

Let me know if the app is good, and which it is, have to get started, unflexibel like I have never been before, and I have never been flexibel....

Cheers

It has annoying adverts and an annoying voice but I’ll learn the 20 minute basic work out in Simply Yoga - Home Instructor App and take it from there. I like the warrior pose. There is a tree pose that nearly saw me fall in off the Battleship roof. I’ll do this 1-2 times/day and we will see where it goes. I definitely feel it. I imagine it will take 1-2 months but I expect results. It certainly beats my normal stretching routine but what the locals will make of it I have no idea.

Cheers, Paul

Yoga with Adrienne on Youtube is really good. Short beginners videos and also 30 day yoga series'. I need to start back at it actually. Flexibility gone downhill fast after a couple of injuries in the last year.
