Guest guest Posted November 16, 1999 Report Share Posted November 16, 1999 I have found my love for Ashtanga grows every day. I've been doing hourly sessions for 5 months now and have found that it has really helped me. I swear by it...I promote it.<br><br>My back has improved. My mind is focused and at peace...my flexibility has gone beyond what I thought I could do.<br><br>I also enjoy running...but have a genetic problem with my knees. Ligaments rubbing against my knees. The yoga helps a lot...but is there some particular movements that can really improve more? Does anyone have similar problems that can help me. 38/M<br><br>Also, I weight lift...does anyone recommend WHEN to lift weights....BEFORE or AFTER Yoga?????

Guest guest Posted November 17, 1999 Report Share Posted November 17, 1999 I've been a runner for over 25 years--covered a lot of miles including 140-mile weeks. Just in the past few years, I started having major lower-back problems. Began doing Bikram-style yoga and now getting interested in Astanga.<br><br>The back is feeling much better after 3 months of Bikram. It's great. Only thing is, I don't feel much like running after a yoga session! It's a great workout. I know that Ashtanga style provides a workout effort similar to running with the constant motion.<br><br>I'd be interested to hear more from runners who practice yoga.<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Marappu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
