512OW, wow i agree. yoga, slacklining and all that other shit climbers do (minus drinking because that does help) is a waste of time. if you want to get better at climbing, go climb.
but, i do think running and getting your cardio up will help for sure. yoga not so much...
i did yoga a couple of times a week for 3 years. i have back problems and i thought it would help, but never did. it also never helped my climbing. i think just good old stretching will do as much as yoga...
Do you do yoga on a regular basis?

i have a dvd with a really long yoga routine (1.5 hours) i used to rock a few times a week. it was pretty hard, but it didn't take long before i had it wired and wasn't getting much out of it. so i quit. i still like to do sun salutations to warm-up on cold days, and i certainly use the yoga breathe to help with stretching, but if i'm trying to get my core strong for climbing i go with this:
