Although I was introduced to VYASA-LA several years ago, it took the pandemic to make me a believer in the benefits of Yoga. With my local gym shutting down for good in the wake of Covid-19, I decided to participate in the VYASA-LA 100-dayYoga challenge. I also signed up for the DMWM program. These are my takeaways: First and foremost, I feel that I am now part of a larger holistic movement to provide an alternate, cost-effective, and permanent solution for effective management of one’s body, mind and intellect. Through personal experience, I can categorically state that Yoga is for all ages and for all times; the physical and psychological benefits to our body is eternal and permanent. Especially for “home bound” seniors, regular yoga practice under expert guidance can once again strengthen self-confidence and help keep old age health problems far, far away. My sincere appreciation to the entire VYASA-LA management team, teachers, and volunteers for their collective “gift” to the community at large. My only regret is that I didn’t start learning yoga seven decades ago when my body was more flexible. But better late than never!
