Can someone explain the benefits of yoga? Is it for flexibility, strength, relaxation? I am wanting to start and am curious of what to expect.

    It's for all three of those.

    How much of each will depend on the type of yoga you choose and how much work you put into it.

    The benefits start with what you've mentioned and go well beyond. Everything from self discipline, self confidence, stress relief, mental focus you name it. My practice even helped me quit smoking.
