Hi! I know it may be a bit of an odd title, but this is a question I have been asked a couple of times recently before or after teaching a yoga class. It is a legitimate question and I felt like I may have missed an opening to lead with yoga is for bringing “Mind, Body and Spirit Connection.”
Some do yoga to bring balance to their body or to heal or to continue to move while having to recover from an injury.
It can be great for exercise and does increase the heart rate in some vinyasa flow or hot yoga classes.
You can build strength doing yoga and increase flexibility when you practice on a regular basis.
It helps to let you get out of your head and into the moment. By breathing and moving and using your muscles, you can become in a meditative state and may be able to let go of background thoughts or to do lists for later. 
Become Present. Practicing yoga helps you to be able to stay present and in the moment. You may feel this when walking down the street, driving, being with people and going about the day.
Increased joint mobility. Moving your joints through various ranges of motion keeps them lubricated and flexible. This translates to less pain from injury or arthritis or even just inactivity.
The Biggest thing yoga is for (in my opinion anyway) is making a connection with your own mind body and spirit. It is like a moving meditation. You breathe and move. Breathe and move again, and in between, you breathe. You tune in to your body and move as you breathe. You may become more aware of yourself and familiar with how you feel, which can improve overall health, confidence and poise.
Being calm becomes natural. It will always be a part of the practice and will come more and more easily as you spend time doing yoga. Even if you only have a small amount of time, yoga is always a good idea.
I hope you have had a great day today and I look forward to the next time you come by my blog. Ask if you have any questions about yoga!
