Workout fads come and go, but virtually no other exercise program is as enduring as yoga. It's been around for more than 5,000 years.
Yoga does more than burn calories and tone muscles. It's a total mind-body workout that combines strengthening and stretching poses with deep breathing and meditation or relaxation.
There are more than 100 different forms of yoga. Some are fast-paced and intense. Others are gentle and relaxing.
Examples of different yoga forms include:
    • Hatha. The form most often associated with yoga, it combines a series of basic movements with breathing.
    • Vinyasa. A series of poses that flow smoothly into one another.
    • Power. A faster, higher-intensity practice that builds muscle.
    • Ashtanga. A series of poses, combined with a special breathing technique.
    • Bikram. Also known as "hot yoga," it's a series of 26 challenging poses performed in a room heated to a high temperature.
    • Iyengar. A type of yoga that uses props like blocks, straps, and chairs to help you move your body into the proper alignment.
Yin & Restorative. Yin yoga is a slow-paced style of modern yoga with postures, or asanas, that are held for longer periods of time—for beginners, it may range from 45 seconds to two minutes; more advanced practitioners may stay in one asana for five minutes or more. 
  

Intensity Level: Varies with Type

The intensity of your yoga workout depends on which form of yoga you choose. Techniques like hatha and iyengar yoga are gentle and slow. Bikram and power yoga are faster and more challenging.

Yoga as a gentle stretch with a lot of health benefits;:

 

 

Yoga health benefits

Heart Health

Regular yoga practice can help alleviate high blood pressure, as well as reduce the number of uncomfortable anginal episodes in people with cardiovascular disease, reported a research review published in the Indian Journal of Community Medicine in 2014. Further research reviewed in this paper showed that yoga also improves how blood flows to the heart and lesions on the heart indicative of the disease.

 

Yoga Relieve Lymphatic Congestion

Yoga twists, inversions, and vigorous flow practices get the lymph moving again, and that alone can help restore your overall health.

Bone-Density Building

Weight-bearing yoga poses, such as Tree, Side Angle, Triangle and Warrior I, II and III, help reverse bone loss in people with osteoporosis and osteopenia. A studypublished in Topics in Geriatric Rehabilitation in 2016 showed that just 12 minutes of practice daily can build density in the spine and femur.

Core Strength

Many Hatha poses improve your core strength — that's the center of your body, consisting of the spine, abs and hips. A strong core keeps you functional and wards off injury; it also improves your performance in sports and fitness. Poses such as Boat, Plank and Downward-Facing Dog strengthen your external obliques; Chair and Warrior I target your buttocks; and Chair and the Half-Lift improve the strength in your paraspinals, which are the muscles surrounding your spine and assist when you twist and bend.

Joint Mobility

When you don't work your joints to their full range of motion, they tend to stiffen up and limit your movement. Hatha yoga poses work your joints in multiple directions, thus improving your mobility and flexibility. A study in the Journal of Physical Therapy Sciences from 2015 found that just one 90-minute yoga session per week greatly improved mobility in the joints, especially the spine, of women aged 50 to 70 years.

Back Health

Modified Hatha yoga poses are an effective way to treat the symptoms of low back pain, and prevent disability associated with this condition. A review of the research in the Journal of Orthopaedic Rheumatology published in 2016 concluded that Hatha yoga can be as effective as other non-drug treatments in treating low-back pain and may actually be better than usual care methods.

Balance and Posture

Hatha yoga poses can improve your ability to know where you are in space — that's your balance and proprioception. Good balance keeps you from being klutzy and potentially falling and hurting yourself when you encounter an icy street or change in terrain. You also stand taller and look more confident as balance and proprioception impact your posture.

 

 

Overall Fitness

When practiced regularly, Hatha yoga poses improve multiple aspects important to physical fitness. As revealed in a study published in a 2001 issue of Preventive Cardiology, a minimum of two yoga classes attended per week — these included 10 minutes of dynamic warm-up poses and 50 minutes of asana — for eight weeks improved oxygen uptake, muscular strength and endurance and joint mobility
