We all know that practicing yoga provides some very important benefits, but do we know all the facts?  For instance, do you have to be flexible to practice yoga?  Do you need to be a vegetarian or join a religion to practice yoga?  These are all myths, along with a few others, and a few benefits are below.  

Anyone with a desire to learn yoga can participate in it, whether flexible or not.  Practicing yoga will help improve a person's flexibility. 

Yoga not only encompasses physical development, but also mental and spiritual development. 

The best-known aspect of yoga is the physical postures; the philosophy of yoga actually begins with living in harmony with others and the development of the inner self.  Other principles of yoga include purity of mind, regarding all things as an expression of consciousness, contentment, not stealing or amassing too much physical wealth, no selfish service and not harming others.  The physical postures are merely a component of yoga lying on top of the base principles. 

Anyone can practice yoga; it is for anyone who wants to live a healthier life and find inner peace.
