DougNg, here you go. Get this Rodney Yee DVD "Power Yoga – Total Body Workout". You will not regret it. BTW, I've bumped into Rodney Yee in my Oakland neighborhood a couple of times. He's incredibly good-looking in person. He's from Oakland, and comes back to visit old friends from time to time...also, he still co-owns the Piedmont Yoga Studio in Oakland.

I've done a couple Yoga classes in my life, and while they were fun, I feel that Yoga is really something you have to stay on top of on a regular basis. My workout routine is resistance based to complement my martial arts training, so I wouldn't have the time to do it everyday
Does that sound about right to you? I couldn't do all the holds in the class (and my flexibility isn't where it should be) and I worry that if I don't keep doing it on a regular basis, I would never get a "complete" workout

Absolutely un-true DougNg. With yoga, it takes a loooooo-ong time to see results. My Mom and Sister mix in yoga only once or twice a week. The other days they lift weights, run and swim. They still see benefits and so will you.
Even if you do yoga only while on the road DougNg, work your hardest at it. Buy that Rodney Yee DVD I recommended…it's challenging as fuck. If you somehow work through that DVD, it'll be a tough workout and you'll burn mega calories. Trust me !
After about the 20th time going through that DVD, you'll know the routine by heart. And believe me, you'll notice your flexibility improving greatly.

Funny story to me anyway
Last weekend I was cleaning out some mulch in my backyard and decided to scatter it out in the woods in front of the house.
Woods pic here.

So I go out there about 50' into the woods and start scattering it and this hawk which had been about 10' in front of me took off and scared the crap out of me. OK. So there he is in the branches just above me staring and screeching a bit at me. I decide to walk closer… then the loud hissing started. Big. Ass. Snake. All coiled up about 10' off to one side. I guess I disturbed the hawk trying to score lunch. I sloooowly back away (I'm wearing cutoffs and chucks) and then ran to the house, grabbed a pistol and machette and what did I put on without even thinking? My high engineer boots and my IH634s
Here I am thinking it might be a big rattlesnake and I'm going back out there thinking 21oz denim might stop a snake bite. I don't want some big rattlesnake squatting 50' from my house though. SO I then tip toe back to the spot and watch the snake, get it to open it's mouth with a looooooong stick and it ends up just a really big Pine snake. Doom averted. I never heard a rattle but the hissing was so loud it still wigged me out. Talk about a possible Darwin Award.Kinda funny that here I am thinking there is a big poisonous snake across the drive and I think my IH's would protect me in any way, lol.
