If you wish to strike a mental and physical balance with inner development, you should choose yoga. However, you will see the results slowly when practicing yoga.

You learn when you are comfortable.

Every form of exercise has its own benifits. Any one type of exercise cannot cover all the benifits, yoga has its own benifits, so does cardio, strength training. One should make a schedule for themselves to include maximum forms to get max benifit.

Whether yoga is better than other exercises depends on individual preferences, goals, and physical condition. Yoga offers unique benefits such as improved flexibility, balance, and mental well-being through its emphasis on mindfulness and breathwork. Other exercises like cardio and strength training focus more on building endurance, muscle strength, and cardiovascular health.

What are you thinking of during yoga?
During yoga, you must free your mind from any thoughts. You must try to relax your mind and body, focussing on breathing and body balance. You must leave any strese whatsoever out of your thoughts during yoga sessions.
