What are the main benefits of yoga?

how does it compare to cardio, weight training?

I am a wee bit curious....

is yoga mainly for female?

There are many different types of yoga. The original practice has evolved into more and more strenuous practices. I've done one of the original (gentle) forms of yoga off and on for a few years. I'd say the main benefits are a clearer mind afterwards, increased flexibility and air capacity. I've been told that it will halt age related shrinking of stature and improve the immune system, but since I haven't practiced it steadily, I can't comment.

you know as a homeowner, I don't need to 'do' yoga.... the usual run of the mill tasks like hanging a ceiling fan, working on plumbing under the sink, digging out tree stumps are all the yoga i need.
