is yoga better than actually stretching?

Question

is yoga more effective that actually sitting down and stretching. (I know yoga is a form of stretching, but it sounds much more relaxing.)

Answer 1

It's not better, but it's more efficient. Certain poses in yoga use your muscles as well as stretch them, so that's the strength training and stretching combined, and to be fit you need cardio, strength training, and stretching.

Answer 2

exactly, you answered the question for yourself. you are relaxed, yoga usually has the ability to relax your muscles as well as stretch you, and yoga works granually to stretch your muscles slowly so there is no pain. yoga also helps balance your system with harmony, silence and the movements balance you and keep your system in order to help digest and metabolize as well. i hope that helps, Kate
