I think all of the benefits of yoga are metaphysical in nature. Todays society puts so much emphasis on being in shape, having sex and looking good I wouldn't be surprised that a lot of people simply imagine that yoga is curing what ails them, when in realty it is just their superficial obsessions that are tricking them into thinking it this. Yoga is one of the silliest workout methods I have ever witnessed and it has been sexualized to a point of disgust. What ever happened to running a lap or lifting weights? why must we sexualize everything ?

One of the foundational aspects of ashtanga yoga is brahmacharya, which means celibacy or focus of the life force and sexual energies. Yoga is much more than a workout method, and my own experience is enough to prove to me that it provides real benefit on physical, mental, and spiritual levels.
Wow. thanks for the great insight. Leave it up to a women to incorporate sexual energies into a work out. FML
