(12,233 posts)I know the whole thing is supposed to be this "relaxing type of stretching workout", but I focus less on "doing it right" with a bit of distraction/ noise in the background... often the kid plops in and starts doing some poses as well. Its funny seeing my little 8yr old boy-child doing downward dog, but its good for him to be limber when he's playing football (he loves football and tennis).
Anyway, yoga doesn't seem like an effort, its just a matter of time management. At the least, I can normally do a quick 30 minute stretch session without too much effort. I prefer, if I'm getting decked out in sport bra and the clothing, to do a longer session, but life doesn't always permit... The biggest reason I do yoga is for the "core" strength and the stretching relief that I get for my lower back and hips (two painful areas). If I miss out on too many days, my lower back will let me know. And it's easy to travel a yoga mat and pull up a yoga routine on my iPhone.
