    Okay, I am seriously considering getting into yoga. I have thought that if I become exceptionally skilled at, I may greatly increase my flexibility. I have heard it is a very spiritual activity, and I feel I could use clearer thinking in my life. Also, we all know what the ultimate goal of yoga is....... and that would seriously be the most awesome thing imaginable if I could do it :slight_smile: Hell, I've thrown my back out a few times trying :roflmao: Now, your welcome to post anonymously, but has anyone on here ever achieved yoga's "enlightenment" :roflmao: Now, I'm not talking about the spiritual, psychological kind of enlightenment, I'm talking about yoga's other ultimate goal :roflmao: I think it's possible, because once I got mad close before I threw my back out....... I just told people I pulled a muscle in my back from "lifting something" :slight_smile:

    Ahah dude, I'm pretty sure that for the majority of guys, even if they are really flexible, just aren't made to....bend like that :lol:

    But nope, have not tired yoga myself :stuck_out_tongue_closed_eyes:

    I practice yoga, though not with any intent to become 'enlightened' or whatnot. It is very helpful and healthful a practice. I would certainly agree that it (as well as meditation) are exceedingly beneficial for one's physical and mental well-being. It's quite therapeutic.

    Also, if I may recommend a teacher, there is one on Youtube who I think is brilliant:
    Yoga with Tim

    One of the few male teachers. He's great at instructing one how to do the poses, has a calm voice and "Buddhist" vibe, and isn't bonkers (as some yoga practitioners certainly are). Plus he's rather beautiful.

    Pretty sure it's kind of like trying to tickle yourself -- it's not going to feel the same as if someone else were doing it to you.

    Eh, I don't know about that. I bet it wouldn't necessarily feel the same, but it'd be pretty awesome :slight_smile:
