1. Does anyone do yoga??

1. Yes (and I'm a bloke). I did a 6 week course before Xmas.

2. Not too sure, but I can find out. An hour a week at lunch time.

3. After 2 weeks.

Basically, I get a stiff back very easily, from sitting at a desk and my hamstrings are very tight from football, so one of the girls at work recommended this to me. Back pain was gone after 2 weeks, hamstrings were definitely looser. But I had a lot more energy. the girls mainly go to tighten up the backside and stomach, but I am very slim anyway so I cant comment on any effects in that department. I'm going to start back again in a few weeks.

AND, you get to watch the girls bending over backwards in the class!!!! Thats worth the money alone.
