Balancing requires mental stillness. Most of the gyms have loud music turned on all day. You get the idea. Yoga gives you flexibility but working out the gym style makes your body, all the more stiff. There's a focus on breath work in yoga. For God sake, our breath matters and somebody at the gym needs to understand this. You practice yoga under the rays of sunlight. You pay gratitude to sun. Gyms have a very competitive and dark vibe. Every yoga pose is used to treat some kind of illness. They're here for a reason. I enjoy stretches. Yoga teachers are calmer compared to the ones at the gym. That's my take. I prefer yoga. read less

Both are better for their own speciality. Like if aim on development of muscle train and maintain physique then gym is ideal but if you wish to work on your mental, physical balance and inner development the yoga is best. Thank you🙏😇 Namaskar🕉

Are there really any benefit(s) from yoga?
Yoga is not mere exercise of the body. It helps even if you just do it without any interest. Yoga helps improve mental capacity as you train your mind to focus, improves flexibility slowly and steadily.. All this put together improves health.
