Yoga and maintaining size

[lemmingjames]

Hello,

Ive tried google and cant find the answer im looking for but basically, im going to have to cut down on the weight training and im looking to get into yoga.

However, ive spent far too much time in the gym to get the 'gainz' i now have and as such, have purchased my clothing to suit.

So my question is, by undertaking yoga, will i be able to keep my neck/chest/thighs the same dimensions or am i likely to 'shrink'? Id still be going to the gym but im looking to mix up my training abit more as i get older.

Thanks

Isn't Yoga for birds?

Power lifters use Yoga on rest days - it helps with size, "gainz" and flexibility.

You won't lose any size beyond that which you may through the need to reduce your weight training (i.e. you stop picking heavy things up, you'll obviously begin to lose size).

I do a lot of weights; have a bad(ish) back and have been told to do Yoga "or else". I already stretch a lot and do the odd "Balance" class but Yoga is hard to get out of work hours, or at 9pm for £12 a session, so whilst I'd like to do more, it's a tough one!
