    Its unlikely that you will get much cardiovascular improvement. There are some types of yoga that are quite strenuous and one type thats done in a heated environment which would lead to some increase in fitness.

    I would highly recommend it from my own experience. I have been playing\training in physical contact sports for quite a while now and have picked up a few niggling injuries along the way that resurface every now and again.

    Last year I started going to a lunch time yoga class for about 8 months, some of the benefits were improved balance, increased flexibility and one of the longest periods of time injury free I've had in a while. Also in work after lunch and at training that night better focus and concentration.

    To sum up I found it good for the body and mind.

    But this would also depend in the type of yoga you choose and the instructor.
