As people age beyond their 40s, their bodily functions, i.e., metabolism, tend to slow down, leading to weight gain and the inability to fit into many old clothes.
I’ve tried other weight loss methods before, such as fasting after noon and running, but they were too difficult to stick to. Fasting after noon made me extremely hungry, and I didn’t feel like running during winter. After a year of this, I hadn’t lost a single pound.
Later, I heard that yoga was very effective, so I wanted to enroll in a yoga class. However, offline yoga classes required dedicated time, and I only had evenings free. After careful selection, I chose an online yoga class.
My motivation for choosing yoga wasn’t just weight loss and maintaining a good figure; it was also due to various physical issues, such as lower back pain from sitting for long periods, stiff shoulders, and forward head posture from prolonged desk work.
Every evening after work, I would lie on the bed and couldn’t get up for at least half an hour.
Sometimes, when I really needed to do something, I had to ask my daughter to rub my back.
Since I started practicing yoga every evening, this situation has improved significantly. Although the first few weeks were challenging, after persevering for more than three months, my body underwent noticeable changes.

As you can see from the chart, the results are indeed impressive.
I must admit, I’m a complete beginner. In the past, I was always busy with work and family, never thinking about investing in myself. But as I aged and my bodily functions declined, I gradually realized that I should pay attention to my health.
When I first chose this $1 course, it was with a trial mindset, but I didn’t expect the results to be so good.
Being a zero-basis beginner, the course I started with was very simple. When I first began practicing yoga, my body felt like a stiff board, and many poses were hard to reach, sometimes even causing pain due to overstretching.
After each class, I felt like I had undergone torture. I thought everyone felt the same way, so I asked the teacher in the group. She advised me to take it slow, progressively reduce the exercise time each day, and allow my body to adapt.
Over time, I found that I was slowly adapting to and enjoying the process. Three months later, I was surprised to find that yoga not only improved my body’s flexibility but also increased my strength. I could now lift things that I previously couldn’t and climb stairs without getting winded.
Apart from physical changes, the biggest transformation for me was the improvement in my forward head posture. Yoga poses such as Pigeon Pose and Head-to-Knee Pose became my correction tools.
Look at my before and after pictures!
The results are very obvious, aren’t they?
It’s been over half a year since I started practicing yoga. In these six months, yoga has not only completely transformed my physical condition but also changed my mindset. It’s not just a sport; it’s a lifestyle, an art that pursues harmony and balance between the mind and body.
