Yoga has many preconceived judgments that label it as an annoying or very slow discipline, it is also said that the positions are very difficult to do it but let me tell you that it's only what you see from the outside. Yoga works on self-control of movement and depends on the type of yoga you would also like to practice. Vinyasa Yoga, where it is more fluid, joining the breath in every movement as opposed to Hatha Yoga style which tends to be more basic and focusing on the alignment of postures.

For fitness lovers there is Power Yoga which tends to be more physical and dynamic, where postures are performed by applying more force and repetition. The important thing is to explore yoga and its aspects to see which one adapts better to your sensation.

Yoga combines a set of elements that makes it very attractive for your health from a holistic view. It focuses on all aspects of being; from balance, increased self-esteem, mental clarity, self-awareness, to conscious breathing, it keeps you constantly in shape and you will experience the awakening of your energy channels called "chakras". Which, by the way I owe you a post about it.
