Yoga can be tough with a cold because of downward dog and anything upside down. ..That being said it can help move the mucus along..If you go bring plenty of tissues and hand sanitizer. Hope you feel better soon!

I do not do yoga, but I would still go on my normal run.

Re: working out when sick?
Based on how severely sick I feel I usually don't workout. I would be cautious too- if you have a bad cough and are obviously sick you might get some looks from fellow gym go-ers. (I have to be completely honest- it does sometimes gross me out when people using the same gym equipment as me are hacking up a lung or blowing their nose).
Either way- feel better!!

Re: working out when sick?
Usually I do workout when I'm sick. It actually helps the congestion. I always feel a little better after a good run!

Re: working out when sick?
I'd skip yoga b/c you could get others sick. If you want to go for a run alone, do that, it might clear your head a bit (bring tissues!)

Re: working out when sick?
when Im not feeling 100% I do a light workout. I tried jogging with a cold and I just couldn't get enough oxygen my lungs and couldn't catch my breath ...so I did a brisk walk.
Just modify your work out to a comfortable level.

IDK Sometimes when I go when Im sick I almost feel a little better - and have more energy.
Other times I come home and go - WHY DID I DO THAT? and end up sicker.
Feel better!!
