Why would you think it would hurt? Drink the shake and don't worry about

all the details and strict rules that people tend to put with yoga. Enjoy your

yoga, be free.

Protein intake is good - preferrably from natural

protein sources.

 

What's a fractionater?

 

Gayathri.

Thanks for replies on this all.

 

I’ll try it out and see what happens. – my main concern was that I’d

start ‘bulking up’ (which I tended to do very easily during my

Gym/Wrestling days!).

 

I was considering taking Whey/Creatine based shakes (like I used to)

predominantly for the recovery effects….I’ll give the ‘au natural’

sources a miss (only joking!)

 

Thomas – agreed, I’m in soooo much better shape than my gym days, with

less effort too – why do people kill themselves in the Gym!

 

Gayathri – a ‘Fractionater’ is some one who Fractionates!

 

Peace & piece

Greetings, and one more on this,

 

I also used to be a regular weightlifter and find that I feel far better now and

am in better

condition from my regular practice. Interesting to hear your viewpoint, which

reflects what

I have found as well.

 

I still, btw, use whey isolate protein (in soy milk with a tablespoon of flax

oil) after

practice. Quit the creatine a few years ago after the kidney stone connection

research (and

after a friend who used it had one!).

 

Take care,

 

Gordon

Why anyone would take creatine while practicing yoga is beyond me.

If you want to be a bodybuilder, by all means follow your dream. If

you want to practice ashtanga, likewise. Practicing yoga and

following it up with creatine, which inflates muscle with fluid,

causes tightness and also cramping, is like buying a poodle as a

guard dog. Nothing wrong with poodles, nothing wrong with guard

dogs, something a bit wrong with with imagining one becomes the

other. I'm not saying this to put down creatine, I'm familiar with

the stuff, and it has it's uses for "natural" bodybuilders and

weightlifters, but it is not the sort of item a yogi would consume.

Ashtanga is challenging enough without puffing up your muscle tissue

with fluid. Ashtanga asanas are just a preparation for the goals of

yoga, not a formula for bodybuilding. Practice a while and the

need/desire to inflate your physique will disappear as the practice

begins to have its intended effect on the real you.
