For new observers, the benefits of yoga only seem to be physical. There are many forms of yoga and finding information on the web can be overwhelming.
Yoga improves your flexibility. Aerobic exercise is great for burning calories, and strength training works very well for strengthening your muscle groups, but yoga goes far beyond either of those forms of exercise and can benefit you both physically and mentally. Besides knowing the positions and techniques of yoga, it is a good idea to understand the philosophy.
Encourage students to only go to their edge, that point where they feel challenged, yet not overdoing it. You won't ever want to get out and you can take that practice home with you as well. Breathing correctly is one of the most important goals in any yoga practice.
It is normal for people to feel apprehensive about change, but change is often one of the gateways to success. Have fun and enjoy everything along the way!
