The main function and purpose of a strap is to “extend” your arms to piece out the lack of flexibility. And this is its main benefit it allows you to do the poses you won’t be able to do normally.
For example, if the seated forward bend pose is beyond your abilities right now, you can use a strap to do the pose properly: to keep your legs and spine straight and relax your back.
Using a yoga strap is a good way to get some self-help into your yoga practice. No matter what your level of experience is with yoga, a strap can provide useful help on support, alignment, and posture. But strap or no strap, you can start warming-up the muscles.
