Coming from an Indian family, yoga has always been something that has been around me. All my relatives partake in yoga on a fairly consistent basis and recently, many of my friends have as well. However, I was always skeptical of the benefits of yoga and thought it didn’t have any real significant intrinsic benefits. Nevertheless, I decided to come to the event regardless just to try it again and see if there would be any difference. Given that prelims were approaching I was naturally feeling a little stressed but after doing yoga for an hour, I felt more relaxed and rejuvenated. For the rest of the day, I was able to work more efficiently rather than normally getting distracted. Since then, I have made a conscious effort to take a small amount of time in the morning and do a little bit of yoga. Doing so has lowered my stress and I feel refreshed both physically and mentally each day.
