I’ve done both but I wouldn’t say I DO both, if that makes sense.  I think the Bikram Yoga Irvine is a nice facility - clean and new.  I would recommend going to the first class of the day if possible.

I used to be a big Yogi until 5 years ago - many moves and two babies later—I am planning on going back now that I am settled.

I think Yoga is better, but I also think you have to commit to it - you have to do several times a week, and really give it a few months, but then you will see and feel a HUGE difference.

The instructor can make all the difference too.  I used to go to the 24 Hour Fitness Ultra Sport on my lunch hour everyday.  But that was 5 years ago, so don’t know if the same guy is there anymore.
