'''Yoga''' is an activity in [[Grand Theft Auto V|''Grand Theft Auto V'']] for [[protagonist]] [[Michael De Santa]].
In order to be able to take part in Yoga the mission "[[Did Somebody Say Yoga?]]" needs to be completed by Michael. The player can perform yoga at [[Michael's mansion|Michael's House]] and on top of [[Mount Gordo|Mt Gordo]]. The uses of taking part in Yoga is that Michael's special ability Bar will fill (meaning he can slow down time for longer in gun fights) and his strength & lung capacity skill will increase slightly.

Yoga is unlocked after the mission "[[Did Somebody Say Yoga?]]". Only [[Michael De Santa]] can perform yoga, and he can perform it either at [[De Santa Residence|his house]] or at the peak of [[Mount Gordo]]. Caution must be exercised when going to the Mount Gordo site as its remote location leaves Michael susceptible to [[Cougars|cougar]] attacks. He will not be attacked while exercising, but can be attacked upon coming out of the cutscene if a cat happens to be nearby; the presence of cougars makes it inadvisable to journey to the yoga site on foot.

San Andreas practically invented yoga. It certainly invented the time honored tradition of the relaxing coffee enema. Whether it’s the Downward Dog pose or the more advanced Dropping Fire Log, there are many fulfilling and compromising positions you can contort yourself into with the help of an expert like Master Private Yoga Instructor, Fabien LaRouche.
Grand Theft Auto V website.

Yoga is an activity in Grand Theft Auto V for protagonist Michael De Santa.

Description

Placing your head flat in your crotch really unblocks your chakras and inspires ideas for creative ways to enjoy your alone time. Unwind at the end of a hard day by winding your spine into a knot.
— GTA V Manual

Yoga is unlocked after the mission "Did Somebody Say Yoga?". Only Michael De Santa can perform yoga, and he can perform it either at his house or at the peak of Mount Gordo. Caution must be exercised when going to the Mount Gordo site as its remote location leaves Michael susceptible to cougar attacks. He will not be attacked while exercising, but can be attacked upon coming out of the cutscene if a cat happens to be nearby; the presence of cougars makes it inadvisable to journey to the yoga site on foot.

To complete a yoga session, the player must perform a series of QTE (quick-time events) that require moving the controls in different positions and then holding the LMB and RMB buttons (RT and LT for Xbox 360 and Xbox One, R2 and L2 on PS3 and PS4) for a couple of seconds. Each yoga position requires a different set of QTE to complete that position. If the player takes too long to move into the required position or releases the two buttons before the right time, Michael will lose his balance and the player will have to start the position again from the beginning.
