Lisa mentioned this, so thanks her. <br /><br />I should first point out that I'm doing mainly "easy" yoga in the mornings, so I'll often do harder classes later on. I like to mix it up but my favorite video teacher is Rodney Yee (sorry BB trainers but it's none of your primary diciplines so I don't feel bad). But I should add the yoga is even more personal than most workout forms so just because I like someone it shouldn't mean squat to you. I do like getting many influences, from all of our trainers, to Yee, to Gurkmha (or something) who does this weird brand of Kundalini. I actually blogged on this. If I didn't link to it above just click the yoga label and it will be there.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-75253599062315100562010-06-15T13:14:27.826-06:002010-06-15T13:14:27.826-06:00So...what are your fav yoga vids Steve?So...what are your fav yoga vids Steve?Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13959870439313456169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-30157243912691459792010-06-13T21:59:16.583-06:002010-06-13T21:59:16.583-06:0090x yoga is definitely not beginner yoga but that ...90x yoga is definitely not beginner yoga but that doesn't mean you can't start with it since in yoga part of the process is to stop when you need to.

The one caveat is that I wasn't doing the Yoga at all, but a double dose of Kenpo each week instead. I wanted more cardio. I was playing basketball recently and tweaked my back the day before I was going to restart P90X.<br /><br />I've been resting it for two weeks now with very little recovery. I hate doctors, so I'm going to try Yoga now. Is the P90X routine a good one for beginning yogies?Ricknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-69923540724567938152010-06-12T22:13:51.181-06:002010-06-12T22:13:51.181-06:00Can you create an imbalance by training the stabil...Can you create an imbalance by training the stabilizers too much or does it just happen with the big prime movers?<br />Hope your back heals soon!TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-36547176518920151032010-06-12T16:53:53.228-06:002010-06-12T16:53:53.228-06:00I wish I was like you, where I was able to train m...I wish I was like you, where I was able to train more efficiently on my own, without the help of another person. But alas, I always do a lot better when I'm going by a video, in a class, or with a personal trainer. I just don't push myself as hard when I'm on my own. Maybe someday I'll get there.screwdestinyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00777895976599010393noreply@blogger.com
