trpt 2345,

Please do not interpret this as being provacative. I am trying to expand my horizons here.

While I agree my weight training analogy may not be the best way to describe what we need to do, my question is (not having done yoga) does nopt yoga work to improve muscular flexibility? Granted tendons and ligaments come into play but isn't the focus of increasing oxygen flow to the muscles to help them to resond in their natural manner? Please bear with me I am not educated in yoga and am trying to understand.

Also, I will concede that the lips are not technically muscles, but the surrounding (supporting tissue) is that not muscular? Additionally, isn't it muscles that help us to move the air in an efficient manner?

Please do not think this confrontational, I am curious as to the yoga approach. I studied Alexander Technique and am very curious about yoga.

Thanks for your time.
