Outsiders tend to see anything in yoga - even a brainwashing sect. But this is nothing more than limited ignorance. Yoga, if you so desire, can be just a regular sports training. And here are a few more misconceptions about yoga, which should be forgotten immediately.
Expensive
Yoga is incredibly diverse. You don't have to withdraw all the cash and move to India to grasp the basics from the first brahmana you meet. Do you want to start exercising? Youtube to help. In addition, in almost every city there are free initial yoga courses - if you wish.
24/7
Indeed, yoga adepts tend to be overly addicted to training. In fact, going too far will not be the best solution. Exercising a few hours a day every day is more likely to unsettle you. Four times a week is it.

Serious business
Many people believe that yoga is too serious for laughter and light mood. On the contrary! Yoga is just created so that you can feel easier in any situation. Telling jokes during meditation, of course, is not worth it, but adequate communication between workouts - why not.
Yoga for girls
Of course, yoga class is a great place to meet a lady there. However, many guys do yoga too and do great. You just don't have to put personal restrictions on regular sports and everything will be fine.
Transformation
Don't want to change? Not necessary. Yoga will not turn you into a vegetarian, or, what the hell is not kidding, into a prano-eater. No buddhas will appear over the left shoulder, don't be afraid. Update? Yes, there is plenty of that. After yoga, people usually feel stronger and more energetic - you are not afraid of that.
