I expect These Questions about Yoga?

It slipped out in conversation once with co-workers that I do Yoga.

The first question I got albeit with a strange look from the person asking was “isn’t that stuff just stretching…?

I said no.

For those who are aware of its totality, yoga is way more than just that. Yoga is a great exercise to take up if you are looking to get in shape and deal with stress. It is an exercise that anyone can do for the rest of their life.

Still the questions persist:
Can I still do yoga if I am not very flexible? Yes you can, yoga is not just about flexibility. It is about relaxation and holding poses.

Do men do yoga? Yes of course. In fact yoga has become much more popular for men over the last few years.

Will yoga help me lose weight? Yes yoga can help you lose weight. It will give you the discipline to maintain a healthy lifestyle, eliminate temptations to eat junk food and will help ease stress. Stress causes you to gain weight and reducing it might help you reduce your weight.

How often should I do yoga? A good start would be to go for a 60 minute class twice a week. It is hard to overdo it however and if you could do 30 minutes every day you would be in good shape.

I still believe some questions may linger about the use of this physical culture of exercise, but nonetheless, these being the more common ones, it’s my hope that if applicable to you, they have been answered.

I will say this much…get in tune and strike a pose…you don’t know what you’re missing if you aren’t doing some Yoga.
