Yoga helps with endurance like a marathon runner, helping you go the distance without running out of steam. It can help improve cardiovascular function, increase lung capacity, and reduce fatigue. Plus, it's a lot more enjoyable than running until your legs give out.

Yoga is like a self-esteem superhero! It helps you build strength, flexibility, and balance, which can boost your confidence. Plus, the mindfulness aspect of yoga teaches you to be kinder to yourself and appreciate your body for what it can do, rather than how it looks.

There are many different types of yoga, each with their own focus and approach. Some of the most common include:

• Ashtanga: a dynamic and physically demanding practice
• Bikram: a series of 26 postures and two breathing exercises, practiced in a heated room
• Iyengar: a meticulous style that emphasizes proper alignment and the use of props
• Kundalini: a spiritual practice that involves chanting, meditation, and dynamic movement
• Restorative: a gentle practice that uses props to support the body in passive postures.

A typical yoga class is like a good movie - it lasts long enough to tell a story, but not so long that you start to nod off. Most classes run between 60-90 minutes, but there are also shorter and longer options available, depending on your schedule and attention span.

The etiquette for a yoga class is pretty simple - just be respectful of your fellow yogis, don't hog the space, and try not to fart during savasana. Oh, and remember to turn off your phone - nobody wants to hear your latest TikTok during their downward dog.
