Yoga has been something that I always refused to do due to the fact that many people around me said how it went against the Christian belief system. I did not want to do the wrong thing so I did not do it. Eventually, more and more people I knew would talk about how they decided to join a yoga class and how much better they felt afterwards. Then I looked into Yoga and why would I be told not to do this? I soon found out it was believing in yourself and believing other things that Christianity did not believe in. Nevertheless, I will not go into that and will explain how after dealing with the issue of weight and realizing nothing was working I thought I would give yoga a try.

One of my best friends became a yoga instructor and said she would help me. My target area was my stomach. The alterations that happened to my body was amazing. Within one month the clothes I could not fit into before was fitting me and I looked slimmer. People were noticing how my shape was improving.
Soon after I got my waist back and lost most of my stomach, I realized my allergies disappeared as well. I realized my breathing exercises were helping me breathe correctly and removed the problems I was having with my allergies. No pill was able to help me the way Yoga did. No excercise was able to eliminate my stomach like yoga did. My stomach muscles were noticably sculpted and I never had that in my life.
Yoga is simple and gives energy and new life to the body. I cannot tell anyone not to do this form of exercise, but only recommend not to get into it too deeply and reap the benefits of the yoga lifestyle.
