How long after a yoga session should I wait to lift?

Posted by Jennifer on Mar 22, 2010 | 2 Comments

I just started doing yoga about a week ago, and I really enjoy how I feel afterward. Since I feel rejuvenated and full of energy after a session, I like to do it in the morning. I like to lift weights or do some cardio in the afternoon or at night if I have the time and energy. But, I read online that doing yoga makes you temporarily weaker because of the static stretching. About how long does this temporary weakness last? A few minutes? Hours? Days?

    Do it in the morning and lift at night. Static stretching helps prevent injury and is the best way to warm up your muscles.
