hell yeah, i don't see why not. i do yoga with my gf now and then. it's relaxing and helps loosen you up after a tough week of lifting. i know there are other benefits, but i'm too lazy to find them. anyway, i don't see how it could do any harm.

I'm thinking of trying yoga w/ my dad. Has it helped your flexibility thus far?

Is it a problem if I do it on my off-days? Let's say, workout on Monday, Yoga, on Tuesday, workout on Wednesday and so forth. I wouldn't run the risk of impeding muscle growth due to overstretching?

Most definitely! It can help prevent injury, help with your posture, and make you more relaxed. Enjoy@

Yoga is amazing. It helps with flexibility, stretching, and provides you with functional agility.
I do a lot of rock climbing, and yoga is extremely helpful in giving me functional strength in using my body effectively. I cannot recommend it enough.

I would def recommend yoga on your off days! It provides great relaxation and not to mention flexibility! I have also noticed a decent amount of strength gains ever since i started yoga on off days! All in all i say that it's a win win!

Yeah, if I could stand yoga I would definitely do it. There are certainly some great benefits to it. Kareem Abdul Jabbar credits his longevity in basketball to yoga. Ray Lewis does yoga, Vernon Davis, hell the Philadelphia Eagles employed a yoga instructor for the entire team for several years.
I might have just convinced myself to do some yoga! lol!
