Another misconception is that yoga is just about stretching, but it's like saying a car is just about the wheels. Yoga is a holistic practice that includes breathwork, meditation, and mindfulness, all of which can have profound effects on the mind and body.
Yoga helps with physical fitness like a personal trainer, only without the yelling and grunting. It can help you build strength, increase flexibility, and improve cardiovascular health. Plus, it's a lot more peaceful than sweating it out in a crowded gym.
There are many different types of yoga, each with their own focus and approach. Some of the most common include:

- 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.
