I've been doing yoga for about 6 months now.

I've gained strength, flexibility, and feel fantastic every time I leave a session. I also believe I'm less stressed and can focus better.

The classes I attend present the physical aspects as a gateway into meditation and relaxation.

It's excercise like any other, it's just using the body's own weight instead of dumbbells to create load. Stretchin is a lesser part of yoga than strength.

Oh, that makes more sense, then.
