Whats the point of Yoga? Is it for me?

Ray F asked:


So yesterday i went to my gym wanting to attend my usual palates class. everyones looking at me.. im like wtttfff. ive been here before. finally when we got started the instructor says, ok legs begin with our Yoga. YOGA!! wtf wrong class! i told the intructor i thought it was a palates class but ill give it a shot anyways. lol. keep in mind im 6ft, about 200 lbs, big arms, and a sleeve less shirt. i look pretty damn funny in a yoga class.
ok so i proceed with the class. i have to admit, it was pretty cool. cool, as in relaxing, stretching and chilling, etc. but this thing went on for a hr. during this hr. im thinking ooook.. lets go over with it, i need to get my bi’s and tri’s work out in. so pretty much i wasted my valuable work out time for yoga. but at the same time i did enjoy it a little.

so am i missing the point of yoga? cuz i didnt see the big hype about it. and do chicks in there think im a fag or do they dig seeing a guy attempting yoga?

thanks

    Yoga is for relaxation, and it might give you a good warm-up before you work out.

    Maybe you should keep on doing yoga because i just interviewed a girl in Yahoo messenger a while ago and she said that as long as guys have buff muscles, she doesnt mind him doing yoga HAHAH

    I was a guy who wouldn’t be caught dead doing yoga…then I was shown Diamond Dallas Page’s YRG Workout. He got rid of the chanting and added in some isometric movements that give you a great cardio workout and build your core. All the benefits of yoga mixed with P90X and pillates exercises. They sell DVD’s but I do the onlne version.
