Benefit Nº 3: Build Strong Muscles

Having strong muscles is much more important than having a good appearance. They protect us from diseases such as arthritis and pain in the back, in addition, Yoga prevents people in the third age from falling, which is one of the main causes of death at this age.

When one constructs muscles through Yoga, one balances this gain with the increase of flexibility. If you did that at the gym you would probably build muscles through your flexibility.
