Yoga has been surrounded by various myths that have been debunked over time. One common myth is that you have to be extremely flexible to practice yoga. In reality, yoga is for everyone, regardless of their level of flexibility. The practice of yoga itself helps to improve flexibility over time, so even beginners can benefit from it.

Another myth is that yoga is only for women. While it's true that yoga has been historically associated with women, the practice is open to people of all genders. In fact, many male athletes and celebrities are known to practice yoga to improve their strength, flexibility, and mental focus.

One more myth is that yoga is only about physical postures. While the physical aspect of yoga, known as asana, is a significant part of the practice, it is not the only focus. Yoga also encompasses breathing exercises (pranayama), meditation, and ethical guidelines for living a meaningful life (yamas and niyamas).

These are just a few examples of myths surrounding yoga that have been debunked. It's important to approach yoga with an open mind and be willing to explore its various aspects beyond the misconceptions.
