...ga does for them.

The gratification of helping others, on a daily basis, is spontaneous. This cultivates positive energy from within the core of your inner being. You give the gift of yoga, but you share positive energy, and usually walk away with more energy than you had before you taught a yoga class.

Being able to make your own hours is a priceless benefit for Yoga teachers. You do not have to be in traffic during peak times. You choose the time and place you want to work.

...Push ups seemed different and the benefits associated with them actually sold me to try a few out on the spot.

Now if an exercise inexplicably, puts a smile on your face while doing it, makes you breathe deeper (which is always good) and strengthens the entire body while making sure you dont get all stiff with zero flexibility, I think it deserves my vote as well as anyone elses.
