How do I balance yoga and weight training?
I recently took my first yoga class. It was very tiring and I was much sorer the next day than when I do weight training. I was first told that you could do weight training three days a week and then yoga in between. I’m not so sure about this though since I was so sore after the yoga. Plus it was just a regular class, not ashtanga or anything. I”m wondering if I can leave out the weight training and get fit just doing yoga.

make a schedule
You just should schedule them on different days, and make sure you are doing cardio as well. The fact that you were that sore means that you have not developed very much strength or flexiblity yet in the muscles that you were working. Yoga works differently than weight training by using slow movements, balance, and holding poses for a long time. This will help you become stronger and more flexible without bulk. If you are sore one day, exercise your non-sore muscles the next day or just do cardio and mild exercise until your muscles heal. Yoga is actually really good if you are already sore, it helps alot. I do Yoga, Pliates, various Cardio, and Toning (high rep weight training) and I love doing all of them. The ‘whole body’ workout you get with various techniques really helps you tone up and build endurance fast.
