Yoga is not about being flexible. Our main focus is on the breath. If you are able to breath then you are already doing yoga. We meet our bodies with grace and comfort throughout each pose and emphasis on NOT serving the pose but rather the pose serving the breath. Yoga isn't even about the asanas (poses). Yoga is about connecting your breath with your body which will then connect to your mind and your spirit.

Yoga is defined as "Yoke" or join together
Joining the left ( moon) and right (sun) sides of the body intertwining the mind and spirit to withstand the impurities that result in disconnection.
Many practice yoga to focus on finding peace in comfort from the many stresses of life not for toning their bodies which can be an unintentional benefit.
The asanas provide space into the body to stretch and connect with the breath so that one may be comfortable while meditating.
With this breath, your focus is turned to the connection between the self and the universe.
