how often to do yoga?

[gregmini]

I've been weight training for 20 years and recently i was in a car accident which left my back messed up. my wife convinced me to try yoga and i felt great afterwards like even better then before my car accident. now that i am back weight training i want to keep the yoga too, how often should i be doing it considering i lift weights 5X per week?
I was thinking of doing like 3 sets then yoga then 3 sets like that.

You should do yoga at least 3-5 times per week to get your back to normal. Make it a lifestyle.

i would do yoga 4-5 days per week... i know myself and i would be doing it 5 days per week.. with running 10 miles per day and then adding the high intensity lifting im doing, i am just maxed for the day so i cant add anything else...

You can always lift 3x or 4x. It's not set in stone just as a habit.

no don't do it like that. do the yoga and stretching COMPLETELY AFTER you are completely done weight training or do it on a separate day.

if you go into lifting AFTER stretching you open yourself up injuries. warm up before lifting YES, but no deep stretching

I would have yoga be one of your training days. So something like 3 days weight training and 2 days yoga.
