I think it would depend on what you are looking for. If you want to bulk up Schwarzenegger-style, yoga isn’t going to do it for you. It sounds like you tried that but you didn’t get enough nutrients and calories to build up your physique.

The kind of muscles yoga builds are long and lean. Check out these pics of David Swenson: http://www.ashtanga.net/dev/links.php

That is kind of body doing tons of yoga builds. We’re talking several hours a day here, though, I’m sure. You’re not going to get this from 2 classes a week.

My advice would be to take a bunch of beginners classes to get the basics of the poses, maybe take a few private classes with a good teacher. This so you don’t hurt yourself when going into fast paced classes. Then morph into power yoga or ashtanga yoga, supplementing your several classes a week with a daily home practice (with the help of DVDs or something designed for you by a teacher).

The other benefits of yoga are plentiful. Here’s a few in short:
-Reduction of stress, anxiety and depression
-Builds muscle, burns fat
-Increased mobility in the joints, and flexibility in the muscles
-Better concentration
-Better sleep
-Hormonal balance, elimination of toxins

Good luck!
