I Did Yoga Every Day for 1 Month and This Is What Happened
30 minutes, every morning.
Less than a year ago, I assumed yoga was not a sport. Just plain stretching. Which would have been good for me, since I am as flexible as a hundred-year-old tree trunk. But I didn’t see the point.
Moving was to my eyes a way to get rid of my excess energy, to calm my nerves, to feel energetic, to burn calories, and to tone my body. Things that I didn’t think yoga could do for me.
Unlike me, my partner has been practicing yoga for a few years. In April, she invited me to join her for a session. Curious (and bored), I accepted. We changed into comfortable clothes, pushed the coffee table aside, and settled down on the living room carpet to follow the moves on an app for the next 30 minutes.
Against all odds, I must confess I liked it.
That’s how I got into the habit of joining her for a session every weekend. After 6 months, I incorporated this practice into my daily morning routine.
I did yoga every morning for 30 minutes, and noticeable changes happened.
