I had a pair of dance jazz/performance pants which I%26#039;ve tossed out. I recently bought a pair of yoga pants, which actually feel more comfortable.

Is yoga really as stress relieving as the websites say?
I have a lot of anxiety and was thinking of trying yoga.|||It can be.
Yoga includes deep, full breathing, which can help calm and quiet the mind. Yoga also encourages one learn to focus on the moment, rather than fretting or feeling anxious about the past or future.
Unlike many other forms of exercise, yoga also encourages you to accept where you are on a given day without judgment. So if you go to class today and you%26#039;re a bit tired or feeling less flexible than yesterday, you%26#039;re encouraged to do your best today, without worrying or comparing yourself to others.
Many classes also end with a relaxation segment, which gives your mind a chance to slow down.
Also, there are many forms of yoga. Some are gentler and quieter, which may be what you want, but if you prefer a more rigorous routine, ashtanga or hot yoga can give you a very challenging workout.
The best way to find out if yoga really works is to try it out. Many libraries carry yoga cds or dvds, or try a free yoga podcast. Hope you find something that works for you!|||Absolutely! Yoga takes practice though. Don%26#039;t expect to be stress-free your first time, but it is well worth the practice. In time, you will be able to really relax plus give your body many, many other benefits! It%26#039;s helpful for sleeping better, it exercises your internal organs, it helps to detox your body, helps your posture, aids breathing and digestion ... the list goes on and on. Try it!|||If you enjoy doing it, it really is. But if you prefer fast paced workouts then it might stress you out even more because you have to be quiet and calm lol. I have to alternate depending on my mood. It didn%26#039;t help my anxiety, but sure does help back pain.|||Yes, it is. I would absolutely recommend it. It%26#039;s fun, a bit challenging, and it makes you feel so relaxed afterwards.|||yes it is

Does Yoga constitute as a full excercise program to help become fit?
Is doing yoga alone enough to burn calories, and make you just generally fit? I%26#039;m not looking to build muscle, build tone, lose weight, or anything in particular. I just want to be FIT and HEALTHY. Would yoga be enough to make someone fit and healthy?
I often walk and ride my bike, but not often or consistently enough to count as %26#039;excercise%26#039; but I feel yoga is something I could incorporate into my life. But would it help?|||Being fit and healthy is multi-dimensional. There are four things you need to consider when getting fit--muscular strength and endurance, cardiovascular endurance, flexibility and body composition (or body fat ratio). And no, I don%26#039;t believe that one form of exercise can help you achieve balance in all four categories. Now, that doesn%26#039;t mean that Yoga won%26#039;t give you what you want--but if you are looking for general well-rounded good health, you may want to incorporate all four areas into your exercise program and lifestyle. Now, you do not need to be an athlete to be healthy.

Pascale Vandenbroucke|||I would say yes. If you were looking to lose weight, I%26#039;d also suggest a cardio workout, but if you%26#039;re just looking for fitness and tone, then yoga is fantastic. I%26#039;ve seen people%26#039;s bodies change and look leaner and longer while doing yoga alone.|||I consider it sufficient exercise for me!!
Any movement is considered %26quot;exercise%26quot;!!! Housework such as washing the dishes, vacuuming, yard work, anything you do is exercise. Don%26#039;t ever make the mistake of thinking you need to be in an organized sport, join a gym, or whatever for it to be %26quot;exercise%26quot;!
Yes!! Yoga works wonders by stretching muscles you never thought you might even have. And stretching the muscles even slowly is burning calories. It keeps the bod supple and moving correctly. You might also consider tai chi. It does the same thing!|||Yeah! it keeps you in shape. I have been in yoga for a few years now. And I only weigh 102 pounds. But i do eat pretty healthy just because i am in med school and found out what is really bad and what is pretty goos for you. I would say htat thats enough to burn calories, and be a healthy person

What Yoga positions should I do to become flexible & maintain a good balance?
I have just recently decided to try some yoga, and when I got the book telling me all about it, and certain positions for it, there are many! I just want to pick a few, but i%26#039;m not sure which positions I should do. Can someone help? Thanks.|||There are many yoga poses that will make you flexible, sun salutation poses are great, cut pose is nice.. in fact, you need to know the physiological benefits of each pose to better understand its usability and effectiveness.. for this purpose, here%26#039;s a good free e-course:
http://www.yoga-health-beauty-energy.com...|||Instead of just jumping into a yoga book, try a yoga class at your local YMCA/GYM. My yoga instructor @ my local Community College said that if you don%26#039;t do specific counter-balances after specific positions you can hurt yourself. I%26#039;ve just started doing yoga too, been to 4, 2-hours classes so far, maybe i%26#039;m in the same boat as you.
Hope i%26#039;ve helped.|||Doggy style

Does yoga and pilates really help with postural kyphosis?
This question is for anyone who has had postural kyphosis and have tried yoga and/or pilates to fix it. Did it work? Any other suggestions?|||I apologize, I know your question was directed at people who have experience with your question, but I was curious and looked it up and found some direct information for you. Here is an article that addresses yoga and postural kyphosis: http://www.yogabasics.com/learn/yoga-for...
I see there is much on the net about it, and yes I do know that yoga can definitely correct bad posture, or a rounded back due do bad posture. The article I linked you does warn about consulting a health care professional if your kyphosis is caused by osteoporosis or other bone weakening disease before trying yoga to correct it.
I highly recommend doing yoga, it has helped my posture tremendously, and I had no idea I even had bad posture. I walk taller and hold my back straighter, and I feel so full of calm energy, I can%26#039;t imagine myself stopping yoga now. It%26#039;s part of my life forever. :)
As for the pilates, I don%26#039;t think it will help as much as yoga at all. Yoga emphasises work on the spine and on creating space between the vertebrae in each pose. Pilates has no such focus, it is geared more toward strengthening the muscles. Yoga will strengthen, increase flexibility, and help pull the bones and muscles back into correct alignment when done properly. make sure you do yoga that emphasises correct alignment of the skeletal structure while you do it.
Good luck!

I read to NEVER hold your breath during a Yoga session. How true is that?
I read that you should never hold your breath while meditating or doing some yoga. But a lot of form of Yoga asks you to hold your breath in different ratio like 4-7-8 etc.. What is your personaly experience breathing ratio? Thanks|||Perhaps there is confusion between breathing instructions applying to asana practice (yoga postures), especially Vinyasa, versus various other pranayam (yogic breath regulation) techniques.
During asana practice (again, especially Vinyasa), the breath is not held.
(Vinyasa is frequently defined as breath-synchronized movement).
Ujjayi without retention is the only pranayam technique I have heard recommended during asana practice.
I believe the various other pranayam techniques, such as those incorporating varying inhale/exhale ratios, are intended to be initiated and concluded while maintaining a single posture (often Padmasana/Full Lotus, Sukhasana/Easy pose, or other related poses).
People often interpret the term %26#039;yoga%26#039; as only pertaining to asana (since frequently, that is only part of yoga that Westerners practice).
Asana is actually a small slice of yogic knowledge.
Namaste%26#039;,

How to avoid passing out in yoga class?
I%26#039;ve almost passed out in the past 3 yoga classes I%26#039;ve gone too- my vision gets really dark, and my hearing starts to fade- like a really bad head rush! It%26#039;s embarrassing to revert to the child%26#039;s pose when everyone else is doing what they%26#039;re supposed to. How can I avoid this? My instructor said that it may have to do with low blood pressure-- how could I change that? I am breathing normally too- so I don%26#039;t think that%26#039;s it.|||Stay away from yoga class or else eat better foods that provide energy and drink plenty of water before class!
