Hi there

Hello! How can I help you today?
assistant
I'm interested in starting yoga. What are the main benefits?
user
Great decision! Yoga offers many benefits, including increased flexibility, reduced stress, and improved balance and strength.
assistant
That sounds wonderful. Is yoga more about physical poses or is there a deeper philosophy behind it?
user
While physical poses are a part of yoga, it's also deeply rooted in philosophy and spirituality. It aims to unite the body, mind, and spirit through practices like meditation and breathwork.
assistant
I'd like to learn more about the philosophy. Can you recommend any books or resources to get me started?
user
A great starting point is the book "The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali" or online resources like Yoga International and Do You Yoga. They offer a wealth of information on yoga philosophy and practices.
