5 reasons why many people are now into yoga

You and everyone you know are suddenly interested in Yoga and you don’t understand why, we have found the reasons according to experts and yogi communities.

Yoga is an exercise that requires you to move your body into various positions to become more flexible, to improve your breathing, and most importantly for the individual to be more relaxed in the mental state.

Some people say that they do yoga to be one with their environment and for others, it offers self-reflection, helps them become kinder, and attain a high level of self-awareness and continued growth.

According to stats, more than 90 percent of people come to yoga for flexibility, stress relief, health, physical fitness, and most importantly in yoga terms “to be zen.” Psychiatrist Marlynn Wei, M.D. said, “the truth is that the practice of yoga is not about changing the brain, body, headstands, or even about gaining greater happiness and joy. If it were, it would be just like taking a spinning class or doing a set of lunges at the gym. Yoga aims towards transcendence of all those things.”
