[QUOTE="Kyza, post: 43612, member: 11666"] I noticed a similar sort of development when I first started doing yoga as well. I had a tendency when I first started hitting the gym to pinch muscle groups around my neck and upper back. Not bad enough to cause serious injury but enough to keep me sidelined for half a week to a week. After about a month of yoga these minor strains disappeared. I'm guessing it was due to the muscles being wound up like a spring in a box and then coupling that with heavy resistance training resulted in injuries.
