How do I tell when my seat is high enough but not too low?

This is probably a question that cannot be answered. I have been riding for about 3 years and the seat always felt like it was adjusted perfectly. About 4 months ago I started doing yoga and it seems that I now have longer ham strings and calf muscles. It is now making my seat feel like it is too high. I am guessing that my feet are flatter on the pedals and maybe in the past I was pedaling with my toes a little down which gave the feeling of a well adjusted seat. So what do I need to do as far as adjusting the seat and what problems are going to jump out and get me when I start with the adjustments? I already have the seat back as far as it will go and moving it down is going to move it forward a little. I have the bars as high as they will go and lowering the seat will help some more. Oh what to do?
