1. How did you get into Yoga?
I started yoga about 10 years ago after I hurt my back. I was advised to do surgery to resolve my herniated disc by the Orthopedic doctor and I agreed. Unfortunately, the surgery relieved the sciatica pain issue, but caused a severe weakness in my lower back and I would get into alot of back pain. Finally, my chiropractor recommended me to take up pilates and yoga, so I did. I’ve been practicing yoga every since.
2. What is Yoga all about? How does it benefit our body?
The word yoga has several meanings, but the most popular one is “Union”. To unify our existence with our experience. So there are many aspects of how to practice yoga. The Asana (Posture) is one of the physical aspects that has gained popularity in the more recent years. By engaging in the physical practice of yoga, one can enjoy benefits such as developing a stronger yet flexible body, a more calm and focused mind and a sense of connection to our being-ness as a human.
