Advantages: physical and mental improvement Disadvantages: must be practiced every day
I practice Yoga for three years and here you will read what my impression is.
Yoga is a way of life. Yoga is for people who want to improve their selves physically and mentally. If your goal is to lose weight and improve physical condition only and you don?t want to change anything related with your mind then you will find that Yoga is boring.
There is a big difference between doing something with and without awareness. Yoga helps us to aware our actions, our body and our mind.

-turn your right ankle ten times on the left as fast as you want .. this is ordinary physical exercise

I started practising yoga last January. Geri yoga was the first yoga DVD that I brought, and it offered a good introduction to many of the yoga postures. The introduction is useful to learn the breathing, and principles behind yoga. For the first few weeks (and months) flexibility was a major obstacle.
