I recommend the rodney Yee http://www.gaiam.com/category/yoga-studio/yoga-instructors/rodney-yee.do?gcid=S18376x028&keyword=rodney%20yoga for basic flexibility I was able to get a full split in 6 weeks with some 10 splits focused stretching, after yoga work outs. yoga is more than flexibility, its also great for conditioning, try his yoga for abs and yoga burn. _________________ itechwarrior Hall of Fame Joined: 06 Nov 2008 Posts: 1120 Location: Surrey, BC Posted: Thu Aug 20, 2009 5:57 pm    Post subject: I've been planning on attending Yoga myself.

That being said, does yoga really do that, or is it better to just stretch for 2 hours? And by stretch I mean static stretching like you'd do at football or a hockey game? _________________ Think YOUR goaltending is bad? Mine is so bad, I made a blog about it.

Yoga is stretching, but also core strength. It is way better than just stretching alone.

Simple to learn and great ways of getting centered for your day and unwinding each evening. So how long would you recommend doing yoga each? As in, 1 hour AM and 1 hour PM? And could you recommend a good program that would fit a university student's schedule?
