Hey guys, looking to add some variety in my daily living and exercise routine, and I'm interested in Yoga. I've done some searching online and found a bunch of different stuff, but it's a tad bit overwhelming.

I currently weight lift, swim, and run. I'd like to increase my flexibility and work out some of the soreness from those activities and work on breathing and relaxation techniques.

I am not at all interested in anything spiritual

If there are any yoga veterans around that could share their experience and answer questions that would be awesome.
 
DDPYoga actually is legit. I thought it was a gimmick by a retired wrestler trying to make money but it is actually ridiculously intense and I am now extremely flexible.
 
If you're already fit, I'd look at power yoga. It's a more vigorous yoga and uses little to no chanting or meditation. Flow yoga (vinyasa) might be a good class to try because it's slower. Power yoga is a faster/more powerful approach to vinyasa. That's my understanding, anyway. I just like the classes. I'm not an yoga expert or anything.

That's quite alright. I'm looking for advice, so I'll have to check those out
