I totally over exercised and hurt my muscles will yoga help?

I totally over exercised and now my muscles really hurt, will yoga help or will it add to the pain?

Thanks :]

No, give yourself a couple of days break now.

it depends how you hurt them, if you have pulled them or strained them you need to give them a few days rest to recover.
but if they are just stiff because you worked them hard, yoga does help or any type of stretching, any type of exercise if you are stiff is good because it releases the tensions in your muscles which is what makes them stiff and sore.

if you can not tell the difference try stretching the sore muscle for 30 second and if after it still feels just as or more so painful you mite have to give it some rest.

Yoga is good for nearly everything, but in your case I think it might be best just not to exercise for a while... then in a few days do some Yoga to stretch and get limber.

There are some good useful postures here in the research section: http://newfreebooks.com

i think u should take complete rest and its better u go for phisiotherephy............................. genrally ladies for there body fitnesses go for exercises ................ but the reall fact is its better to yogo better than that

i think now u have faced problem by that,ok leave it........

more than likely it will. yoha stretches out the body, relaxes it, unless you're doing advanced yoga. i usually do yoga after i work out, it works for me.

maybe really basic yoga- or just stretch.
take a hot bath.
get a massage.
drink plenty of water.
take a pain med like Advil or Aleve.
get plenty of rest.

Mild yoga will help loosen the muscles but I'd prefer to just sit in a hot tub and let my aches melt away naturally.

NO it wont really, but a massage will and a visit to a physiotherapist.
