This summer more than 20 million Americans are getting ready for a little downward dog. What started out as 5,000 year old spiritual practice has now grown to an international sensation.

Just like Starbucks, studios are popping up on every corner and the obsession has no signs of slowing down any time soon. Business owners across America are hot for yoga. From designer clothing lines LuluLemon and Sweaty Betty to dozens of luxury retreats, stretching from California to New York, this year yoga is estimated to become a $30 billion business worldwide.

Exercise enthusiasts swear by the practice. In an interview on ABC's "Real Biz with Rebecca Jarvis" Kay Kay Clivio, lead trainer at Pure Yoga, says the benefits are endless. "Yoga helps you manage stress in your daily life, breath better and increases focus on the job."

But for someone not familiar with yoga, the practice can be a little misleading. While Kay Kay Clivio was in studio, ABC asked her to clear up the myths surrounding this practice and give working moms five yoga moves to do in five minutes.

The Truth about Yoga 7 Myths Debunked

1. Yoga is a religion

False. "Yoga is a practice of unifying the mind and the body. It is a practice of Self-Study and developing a relationship with the most important person in your life YOURSELF:) Yoga is a science- not a religion."

2. Yoga is easy

"If you think that yoga is easy then you are doing it all wrong. Even a basic yoga class should be challenging if you are approaching the class correctly. There are many different styles of yoga. Some are more mellow than others from a vinyasa yoga or ashtanga class, where you are moving more vigorously. Find a level that is right for you.

3. You have to be flexible to do yoga
