Hello fellow Yoga buffs! My name is John, I'm just getting into Yoga, done it for a few months now, I'm amazed at how tough it is! I'm loving it!!

Also, I want to ask if anyone here is into Ultimate Fighting Championship? GSP and Matt Serra are fighting April 19th, I can't wait for this one!

I think fighting and Yoga go together, it really relaxes me to see 2 great fighters play a physical and mental game of chess, it's almost like a meditative state in that all time seems to fast foreward, 3 hours seems like 20 minutes.

I used to drink beer during UFC's but then I'd wake up the next day and not remember much of what happened, I've started doing Yoga and now I remember everything about the events! Thank GOD for this I say.

Anyways, I think we'll all be great friends, thanks for your time, and WOW does that woman at the top of the page have an invisable chair!?! LOL

Hi John,

Um, no, yoga and fighting do not go together. Yoga has a code of ethics, one of which is Ahimsa, non-violence. Fighting would go against the principle of Ahimsa and thus be not yogic at all.

I'm glad that you have found yoga and I invite you to explore the idea of Ahimsa in your life as it will bring you a great sense of peace and harmony and make your yoga asana practice much more effective.
