I’ve been taking Vinyasa yoga for a few months to rebuild the strength in my injured shoulder and opposite elbow. Holy sh1tballs. I sweat more in there than any martial arts class I’ve ever taken. I’m completely fatigued after a 1-hr class and sore for days after. It \*\*\*\*es me off when 45 year old women can do crazy handstands and I can’t yet. My shoulder is probably at about 65% and my elbow/forearm is about 85%, so I’m just now getting strong enough to support my weight and hold myself long enough to attempt a decent handstand pose. On the plus side, I’m the only dude in the class. So all the hot spandex-clad MILFs bring me yogurt, drinks, etc to every class. ---

I agree with sanjuro\_ronin concerning specificity, I’ve been doing yoga since I was 12, and I have never thought of it as being difficult or challenging. ---

Thats because I paid the ancient one to beat you with a stick when ever you complained, so you eventually began to feel torture as pleasure. you’re welcome. ---
