Thanks for your replies. They’re helpful and they give me hope. I think this subject of flexibility is multi-faceted. Maybe some people get more flexible doing Yoga and other get more flexible in other ways and bring their flexibility to Yoga. I know I’ve been biased by my Somatics training to not stretch muscles but that’s not to say that stretching doesn’t do anything for anyone. For now I’m enjoying Bikram for reasons other than getting flexible and I’m doing Somatics and Lucas’ stretching as well and I’ll be ordering a Yin Yoga CD set to add some Yin to my Yang!
Thanks for your replies. I will check out Yin Yoga and do some 5 minute stretches as I think my body will really like them. And I’m glad to hear, Feenix, that Lucas’ stretching and supplements have helped you.
