What is better: to do yoga before the exercises or after exercises? What yoga workouts will create the better effect on my body? from Julia Ford
Welcome everybody, my name is Silva. To be honest, I see that I can combine both yoga and exercises at the same time, but I have enormous doubts about whether it is healthy to do this combo or not. My first doctor said that I could do exercises after yoga, and it will be like a warm-up for me, but my second doctor (and at the same time my best friend) told me that it doesn’t matter when to do yoga, I have just to do it, and that’s all.
So, what can you tell about this situation? When should I do? What is better: to do yoga before the exercises or after exercises? What yoga workouts will create the better effect on my body? Are there special sets aimed at warm-up before training and post-exercise stretching? What types of yoga exercising can you recommend me for stretching my muscles? Which of them will help to make my body more flexible?
Thanks for the help!
