Yoga and Self-Care Stretching

You all know my lectures on daily stretching so I won't go into that. What you don't know is that yoga is not sufficient for self-care. I have had enough clients report this as to make me want to inform you that you need more. Yes, yoga does stretch out your body and make you more flexible and resilient. What it does not do is replace the need for you to stretch out your overworked, muscles from daily wear and tear. Yoga in of itself is a strength training workout. That is why in class the teachers warm you up and stretch you out during the session. I think yoga is a wonderful thing for your body, but it does not replace a daily stretching routine.
