I enjoy it when I get motivated to do it.
I'm primarily into zazen meditation though (like, duh!).

I'm not a total die hard practitioner, but I do it a couple times a week. It's great for relaxation, flexibility, balance, and awareness of body position. I don't really buy into the philisophical mumbo jumbo, I just do it to round out my normal workout routine.

actually I hate yogurt, I am just exceptionally bored at work. 1 Day left until Moab! I do quite a bit of meditation though. That seems to work quite nicely, especially with skydiving.

Cyberskydive:
I do it! I don't do the kind (and there are so many different kinds) where we sit around and meditate or chant. Our instructor works our butts off!! I found it especially good for those ARCH!!! positions. I don't try and remember the names of the moves but there are a couple of different ones that look like you're tracking and stuff. Great for the lower back, but you have to be careful as well.
Our instructor had us climbing the walls yesterday - literally!! You ever tried to do a split with one foot on the floor and the other on the wall???
I get all giggly and the instructor doesn't see the humor I guess, but I find it extremely funny that a bunch of us are standing in a room bent over at the waist and our arms reaching out to our sides like airplanes ready to take off!! Then there's the move that I call "women in a public bathroom", where we squat down as far as we can and see how long we can stay there (women are pros at this - kind of like trying not to pee on your foot when your out camping and there's nothing but the great outdoors!!) [grin]
I like it! (but then I'm usually the only one who seems to think it funny as hell!)

I've never tried it, but I think it might be fun. There is definitely something to be said for flexability!

And other positions as well!
Seriously though, I love yoga. When I first started out I found it uncomfortable and even painful at times, but once I got into it and my flexibility increased back to that of a 2 year old, I find it incredibly refreshing. And with the sense of balance that you acquire and your overall body awareness, I think it really helps with skydiving as well.

we used to do yoga as part of my judo club. it was a lot of fun... and a lot less bruising than getting thrown 100+ times night!!! =c) Maybe if I did more of that stuff I really could impersonate that cypres ad in parachutist. hmmm.

So are you going to give us all yoga lesson at the boogie tomorrow before we jump? We can do the kung fu lesson after we jump (a few beers later).
