Amen. I went to a yoga class a couple of weeks ago, then a couple of 
hours later went to roll practice in a C-1. Big mistake. I'm still 
hurting and I'm grounded for another couple of weeks with sore 
ligaments. Missed a slalom race last Saturday and I'll miss a 
paddling/camping weekend this week.

But...I have not been good about stretching after being a runner for 
several years, and I find myself way too tight in many areas. I never 
liked yoga before, but I think it is really being good for me.
