Yoga and CrossFit. Not sure if I can do that now.
Before CrossFit, I was reallyyyyyyyyyy into yoga, specifically Ashtanga yoga. I used to randomly pick a pose from 608 Yoga Poses and attempt to do it after class each day. I used to go 6 times a week! Over the past months, my fitness interests changed. As I attended more CrossFit classes, I skipped more yoga classes, until my yoga attendance hit zero. After ditching yoga for a few months, I noticed a dramatic decrease in my flexibility and increased healing time for body aches and pains, specifically in my lower back.
When one of our trainers told me I might have shoulder flexibility issues in my front squat, my immediate reaction was oh HELL NO. After class, my mind was busy processing a whirlwind of thoughts. What benefits did yoga have on me when I practiced it? Were there any movements I could perform better before, than now?
