In 2022, during my final year at university, I found myself struggling under the pressure of exams. The stress began to affect my wellbeing, and despite trying various ways to manage it, nothing seemed to make a lasting difference.

One day after a lecture, I overheard a conversation about yoga and how it had helped someone improve their life. Curious, I struck up a conversation and learned about a yoga class offered through the university’s extracurricular programme.

What started as a simple class quickly became a passion. Through regular practice, my confidence grew, my focus improved, and I felt more balanced both mentally and physically. Yoga not only helped me regain a sense of calm and self-belief, but it also positively impacted my academic performance. It became something I wanted to continue for life, and it shaped the direction I wanted to take moving forward.
