Re: [Paddlewise] Yoga

Yes, Michael, It has helped my kayaking overall. I can tell that. But it 
didn't help my roll. I can roll fairly well now after several years 
of  practice. But I've met paddlers that aren't as flexible as me and don't 
do any exercise, aside from paddling. However they get the roll in the 
first 10 minutes. Some people are just naturals at rolling.
