A great way for me to relax before a show is to do yoga. I am so addicted to yoga. It makes me feel great and is just so relaxing. I was just wondering if anybody else does yoga before a show or even just practices yoga?

sing4joy I used to, but for some reason it didn't do me much good... really, as a dancer, yoga has been one of the greatest things to come to me. Maybe because i like to meditatae a lot blaugh

I did some yoga in gym class, it was really cool, especially because I could actually do it!

I do yoga as a part of meditation, but not connected to dance really. It's mainly just to help me relax.

i love yoga so much, i'm doing it almost everyday. I meditate, though, everyday. I can't "officially" wake up until i do at least an hour of meditation. Is that too much? People think i'm a "yoga-freak." But i don't mind. smile

I am thinking about tring it...I have recently sprained my ankle and several people recomended it to me to stay flexible until I can dance again. For those of you who do it...does it really help flexibility that much?

dancerintheroom I am thinking about tring it...I have recently sprained my ankle and several people recomended it to me to stay flexible until I can dance again. For those of you who do it...does it really help flexibility that much? Well..kinda. I mean, being a guy who was never into dance until his high school year, and before that, was a pretty lazy guy, a combination of yoga, ballet and modern warm-ups works wonders. As for ur sprained ankles, yoga is a nice way to keep flexible without the use of ur ankles. There's some positions that can be dance on the floor without applying any pressure on ankles. Just be careful. I wouldn't wish a sprained ankle to anyone. Take care of that ankle, ya hear me. We dancers need to stick together...does that sound cliche? whatever. biggrin

Haha, thought it sounded a bit korny too sweatdrop . Well, i'm done for the spring for dance/college, and i'm gonna focus on school for the summer. So, I'm gonna have a hard time motivating myself to dance, or work-out or do anything physical for awhile. i'm a pretty lazy person sweatdrop . But reading about other dancers' activities or shows always makes me want to get out and do things, So...... KEEP POSTING!!! heart biggrin heart Love ya guys!!

I did yoga at school, but the room was always freezing so it was hard to really get to enjoy it as much. I did like it though, but I hate being cold!!! I already get stiff knees and achey hips when it's cold.
I love to meditate as well, but I do it through daydreams

I've done yoga for way longer than dance, and it helped me with flexibility. It helped me more with my posture, though- I don't get told to stand up straighter so much in ballet. I like to do yoga before a class sometimes, too, since I've pulled muscles before from not being stretched enough.
I love how yoga looks, all clean lines. Isn't it pretty?
