"Isn't Yoga Just Stretching?"

Stretching is part of Yoga Practice absolutely.  Stretching, bending, flexing, changing, growing are all part of Yoga Practice.  And all of these qualities arise from the same source...Waking Up - Becoming more fully Alive.

The body begins to breathe more so the ribcage must expand more, the chest must rise more, the spine must elongate more, there must be more space made.  The body must stretch and grow to accommodate this new breath, this new space. 

So yes, stretching happens when Yoga is practiced.
