Is Yoga a Waste of Time?

Is Yoga a Waste of Time?

Are you just like my sister? No time for yoga. You find it too slow and a waste of time. You'd rather be lifting weights, walking with a friend or taking a spin class.

My sister has been watching me teach yoga for the last 20 years. She's listened to me tirelessly tell her how much she'd enjoy it and how good it is for her. She'd come to visit and take a class I was teaching but be anxious she wasn't in the gym instead.

In her mind, the only point of exercise is to burn calories and to lose weight. Otherwise, what was the point.
