I'm new to /fit/, and I was kind of wondering about yoga.
Is it as good as people say, or is it just a meme?
Can a man do it or is it just gay?
Or is it master race?
I do my own yoga. It's call fapomania 5000 and includes lots of head banging and flicking your tongue out with death metal blasting to where the windows are shaking

Uh huh, uh huh...I see, does this involve Cannibal Corpse or Cattle Decapitation? I hear CC really gets the legs going but CD does a good job at triceps

It's good for mobility and (depending on the type of yoga) your core.
It probably won't make you that much more aesthetic than you already are, but it's great to supplement with lifting because the balance and mobility gains may prevent injury.
It feels godlike when you're finished up with a tough workout and you finally get to just lay there and feel the endorphins from the deep stretching.

its gay

really good practice
I do ashtanga. That Kino bitch is qt as fuck and it feels awesome after you finish. I like ashtanga because it's exactly the same every time. So many classes like to fuck around and not take anything serious so you never know if you're progressing. A good instructor will help bend you into your pretzels and give pointers on anatomy and shit. I am a nurse and lifting is my only hobby so I like to think I know kinesiology but I learn new shit all the time as well as it helps build awareness of your muscles and what they are doing.
Its a so peaceful and shit. I go 80 into work but I'm accidentally going 40 on the way home because of the zens.

With a good instructor could be beneficial for relaxation and mobility. Can also be good for mindfulness, but since you're a sad piece of shit writing like you're 14 years old talking about "gay", "meme" and "master race" on a board populated by former and current weaboos, I don't think you're interested in that.
I don't even think you care about yoga, if you did you could've just asked in one of the qtddtot threads and phrased it like a person whose main source of nutrition isn't chicken tendies. You're just trying stir up some shit because that's how you want to spend your fridays: reading and participating in autistic meme-parrots arguing about if you are still a cool kid in the internet paralympics that is /fit/ if you do Indian spiritual practices.

OP here, this might be the gayest thing Ive ever read

No, I watched the KOTH episode where Hank does yoga to fix his back and it worked, just kinda didnt know if yoga was a sham or not

yoga is mostly just aggressive stretching.
my flexibility is all over the place so some poses feel like hell while others are just boring stay still bullshit
