Rexxar Txan Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 Does anyone know of alternative practices to yoga? I tried it and have found it rather dull. Quite a workout though! I'd like to try something different, but with the same results focusing more on developing flexibility. Any help would be great!

bigm141414 Posted April 1, 2013 Report Share Posted April 1, 2013 www.mobilitywod.com Just search through the videos for a certain aspect of your movement and work on it. Or watch them all in order (there are 365 videos, one a day). "Pull the bar like you're ripping the head off a god-damned lion" - Donny Shankle Link to comment

ceethegreat Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 I second pilates and dance. Did you go to class or try a video? I didn't like yoga the first few times I went, but found my current teacher who's a little spark plug and enjoy it much more now. Cee, Level 2 Wood Elf Adventurer of the Earth KingdomSTR 4.5 .

Rexxar Txan Posted April 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Thanks for all your suggestions! Unfortunately here in Ambato there are no yoga classes or instructors nor for pilates. I am using Rodney Yee's video: Yoga for Beginners.

ModernSpartacus Posted April 2, 2013 Report Share Posted April 2, 2013 Try Blogilates, it's like pilates but fun and more intense. Search it on youtube.

NicoleCanoes Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 There are several types of yoga. You might have just not found the right one yet. They range from meditative stretching to sweat dripping flow. The instructor also makes a big difference. Give it several tries before you give up on it.

Rexxar Txan Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Maybe an underwear/bathing suit model though! Or even better: a cosplay costume model!
