Before going to benefits of yoga lets first understand the meaning of yoga. What is yoga? Yoga is an ancient cultural heritage of India. The word yoga in Sanskrit means "to unite".
Hence we can understand yoga as a technic for uniting body and mind. Here, below i am stating some of the benefits of yoga.

1. Stress buster: one of the biggest benefit of doing yoga is that it helps in relieving stress. Breathing techniques used during yoga relieves stress and puts your mind to a comfortable zone.

2. Helps in losing weight: when you will do yoga, you will burn a lot of calories, which will help you in losing weight. Perhaps you can burn as much as calories as you would burn if would be running.

3. Good for immune system: By the time you start doing yoga, it starts to impart its positive effect on     your circulatory, digestive, nervous, and endocrine systems which eventually boosts your immune system.

4.  Enhances Concentration: doing yoga keeps your mind calm & relaxed hence thereby increases your concentration. A peaceful mind can do things in a better way than that of a restless being.
