SINGAPORE SHORT STORIES

I have taken to more research and self practice of yoga in order to keep my body fit. In this hectic society of ours, we do not lead a very healthy lifestyle as there are just so many things and committment for everyone of us to do. However I believe it is very important to be healthy. In fact, I rank Health before Family as without Health, no matter how I am committed to Family, I cannot take care of my family members.

As a beginner to Yoga, I am quite amazed at the wonders of Yoga I heard from the Yoga gurus. A Yoga guru shared with me that Yoga practitoners view a man's life not in terms of age but in terms of breath. Yoga focuses on the techniques of breathing and correct breathing oxgenates the blood and body and leads to improvements in all aspects of life, be it health or even temperament.

I attended the first yoga class of my life today. I have always seen others practising yoga and heard them extolling the benefits of yoga and hence it is interesting to experience yoga first-handedly.
