Do you feel that yoga counts as exercise or is it more of a mental health practice?

I think it is kinda mental practice as it does not loft uour puls to the levels Excercise do. And the whole purpose of the Excersice is to make your heart pump the blood vigorously

I think yoga is both mental and physical, infinitely intertwined and inseparable. However, the beauty of it is that there are so many shades of yoga: so many styles, that you can tailor it exactly to your needs, which may vary from day to day. You can make it as physical or as mental an exercise as you like, you can choose your pace, match it to your abilities and your mood and have the best practice each and every time.

I would suggest , please consider yoga as an exercise for mental health It calms you down and brings an immense peace within you

I think it’s both. It helps stay active but it’s also good for mental health. Plus, if I’m being active I’m more pleased with myself, so yay again mental health

I feel that yoga is more than poses and stretch, is a connection with ourselves, with our body, and I clearly do it for mental health

It is more of a mental health practice as it helps you focus more and relax,it calms your mind and this leads to more productivity as your mind is less chaotic and can think straight

I feel that yoga is more of a mental health practice. I actually decide to do yoga to help with my mental health. I have done yoga for 30 days straight and it was so enlightening because I didn’t think of it as a practice but an exercise that I love to do. I didn’t even worry about my body as much because I am more focused on each movement.

Probably a more stretching kind of mental health practice. It’s the same as when people count walking as exercise, while it does help you burn a bit more calories, it’s not really that much of a challenge for your body as actual exercising, running, etc.

I think it does count as excercise. Exercise is everything that hwlps you develop, it doesn’t matter if it is emotionally, or physically. Yoga can help us stretch and reflex about various things.

It can be whatever you’d like it to be. Some use it to strengthen their core balance . Others use it to release tension built up from stress. And some use it for its health benefits. I’d recommend researching what you’d like to target as theres specific practices of yoga so you get the best results.
