With the 6 weeks "rest" from working out I seemed to be really tight and inflexible now. So, I joined Canadian Debbie in a yoga class this week. Gotta tell you that I've tried yoga twice before and hated it. I get B-O-R-E-D. When I exercise I'm looking for action, sweat and most of all socializing with my buddies. In yoga you are quiet, relax and I didn't sweat a drop. Can that really be exercise? Doesn't seem like it.
Now all the Hollywood stars do yoga and claim it's what they do to keep in shape. I'm not so sure I believe them. I think they are secretly running and doing crunches when nobody is looking and then claim they're doing cool Pilates and Yoga.
But, I'm going to give it at least a few more weeks and see if it helps me before being a yogie drop out with ADD who can't sit still!

You just can't look at it as a replacement workout.
I am totally the same way. You have to treat it like what it is. A stretch session. Building tone, etc, yes, but it won't replace the "cardio high".
Oh yeah, and there's the core strengthening bonus.
I don't look at it as a workout but as stretching which is good for an off day...which I probably should do since every muscle is sooooo tight right now!
