Yoga?

Anyone taken Yoga? Could I lift weights before taking a Yoga class (1
hour, 10 minutes long). Unfortunately, other than "yoga," there's no
explanation of what type of yoga this is.

I've heard that stretching after weight lifting can actually help increase
strength, and since yoga mostly involves stretching, I say why not?

Thanks. My sole reason for taking yoga is to increase flexibility. I
find that, while I stretch, I don't place emphasis on it enough. What
I'll likely do is lift weights in the morning, then take my first yoga
class in the evening. But I'd like to combine the two (lift at, say, 5:45
pm, then take yoga at 7pm).

i personally wouldn't do them one right after the other. my weight
lifting sessions tend to be vigorous and i've only done a little yoga
but i found it to be fairly intensive.

ym, of course, mv.

Thanks. Next weekend, I'll be able to lift in the morning and go to yoga
in the evening. We'll see what happens.

i find both of them really enjoyable, i just don't think i'd want to do
them together. i need to get some blocks so i can start doing the yoga
again...i miss it.
