[Paddlewise] Yoga

Sorry if this has been covered before and I missed the
thread, but how many of you practice yoga as
cross-training for rolling, sculling or paddling?

I'd like to hear what your experience has been, what
kinds of questions I should ask the instructor in
advance, what positions are beneficial, etc..

I have an opportunity to take a class that is nearby,
inexpensive, and does not require any major
commitment.
(I believe it is called, "hatha" yoga.)  On the one
hand, I suppose yoga in general may be good for me,
regardless of the cross-training benefits.  However, I
am very inflexible from years of running without
stretching -- which has worked fine -- and otherwise
see no reason to change things now.

Thanks,

Emile
