Not really doing "proper" yoga but I do the yoga warm downs etc on Sufferfest. I really enjoy them, definitely think it gives more structure than just running through some stretches. Also know a lot of people who recommend yoga for rock climbing (also quite a core focussed sport)

I did it as part of a really heavy training block and it made life a bit more bearable after hard sessions. All I would note is that if you are doing a type of yoga that's a bit more strenuous (say than a beginners class), then be prepared to suffer some fatigue and need some recovery. It's not all lying about and deep breathing.
I swear by it now just as a way of relaxing and trying to reverse the effects of sitting at a desk for 40+ hours a week. That and sitting on a TT bike for 10 hours a week.

Anyone here do yoga / pilates? Am looking to boost core strength and flexibility.
I used to do leg strength work partly as a means of building my core as a byproduct but am nearly always getting DOMS from it (despite having done it through winter) and its fucking my training so am probably going to bin it.
Anyway - yoga / pilates - worth it? My balance is pretty poor so it should help that too.
