Yoga and Lifting - Proceed With Caution or Better Yet Knowledge
Yesterday I posted the picture above with the caption below on the Instagrams and some folks lost their minds.
My wife @casa_colibri being bendy as usual. People love her extension based poses but shewill let you know that traditional yoga balances every one of these out with flexion based poses. Some people probably wonder why I don't yogaize and she doesn't lift.
The answer is that we respect the length tension relationships of our craft. Any one loading her up is a bad idea and me attempting that up there is a really bad idea.

I was going to write an article about it but then bling...I got an email this morning from Eric Cressey with the article below.
Yoga for Athletes: Why Activation and Inhibition Matter More than Stretching
Unreal. If you like yoga and lifting. Read it. If you like lifting and hate yoga. Read it. If you hate lifting and love yoga. Read it. If you hate lifting and hate yoga. Stop it.
