[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yoga isn't really going to increase your flexibility, and doing it only once or twice a week certainly isn't go to help. You need to be working on active mobility and taking classes that focus on end range of motion. [/quote]

I disagree, It definitely helps with flexibility.  It took me a while to have increased flexibility and to learn that holding a pose a longer or really settling into a pose dramatically helped.  Also outside of classes do a short practice each morning and or evening of 10-15 minutes will help dramatically.  Maybe alternate between the yoga aspect and a short stretching routine.  You can find some shorty yoga and stretching routines on YouTube.

Another option you may want to consider for faster results is PT.  Talk to them about your mobility and flexibility to concerns.  I have had hour long PT appointments that are nothing more than just being on a table while being stretched.

As you progress I would also, highly recommend get deep tissue massage or if you can handle it muscle scrapping every month or two.  [/quote]
