Yoga

Yesterday we had a Yoga instructor in to give us a demonstration of some Yoga techniques. She showed us some routines and positions used in Yoga, and taught us how to meditate. Yoga seems to me like a very effective form of relaxation and flexibility, but not of strength. It is promoted as a form of strength training, but it did not appear to me to be a good way of strengthening muscles. It also lacked any cardiovascular work out, and will not therefore help you become a lot fitter. All it seems to be is a good way to relax, but I would not reccomend it as a serious form of exercise.
