Yoga: The Most Underrated Exercise

By Cheval John

I had done yoga and pilates with my weight training while I was in college for two years.

Unfortunately, I didn’t keep up with my exercises in the final years of my undergraduate education.

When I started weight training again in 2018, I didn’t even think about doing yoga until watching the episode of Wagle Ki Duniya-Nayi Peedhi Naye Kisse (Wagle’s World: New Generation New Stories) focusing on yoga during the “international day of yoga”

In searching for yoga videos on YouTube, I found a channel called Yoga With Adrienne.

She had videos from beginners to advanced yoga.

Since I had a busy schedule of working full time while running this company, I decided to do the mini-sessions which lasted for 23 minutes.

Afterward, I incorporated yoga into weight training.

Later, I found another channel called Sara Beth Yoga which had 10 minute yoga sessions and 14 minute yoga sessions for beginners.

This fit better for me.

Then I decided to challenge myself to do yoga consecutively for 30 days after my birthday after watching a video on those who did yoga consecutively for 30 days and 365 days, respectively

I ended up doing yoga for 67 consecutive days.

What I can share after doing yoga consecutively for 67 days is:

Yoga calms the mind and block out the noise

Yoga relaxes the body.

What it also did was allow me to do my exercise routine the right way.

Now you might think you don’t have time to incorporate yoga into your exercises.

With the internet and social media, anyone can find the time to do yoga at the comfort of your home.
