The first time I tried yoga, I was really struggling with back pain. It was so bad that I could barely move. My stress levels were also through the roof. I had heard that yoga could help with both issues, so I decided to give it a try.
At first, the yoga was really difficult. My back was in constant pain and it was hard to focus on the poses. However, over time, the yoga started to help. The pain became less severe and I was able to focus more on the poses.
The stress relief that I got from yoga was incredible. After a few sessions, I felt like a different person. I was less stressed and my back pain had significantly improved. Yoga had truly saved me.
This is my story. I started practicing yoga 6 years ago. My second child was growing up, he was about 1 year old. I was constantly carrying him around, he was sleeping with me almost every night. I was stressed, I was tired. And my lower back was killing me. I was a mess.
I was looking for a solution how to help myself without spending tons of money on personal instructor or massage. Something that I could do at home when I had my free time (which I didn't have a lot). That being said, I was looking for exercise, that will help me with:
reduce the back pain
reduce my stress level
get me back in shape
takes 10-15 minutes
do it at home any time you want
And I found it. Simple 15 minutes yoga, that I was doing before bed. After the first week, I was totally different person. I felt amazing!
Sometimes we get so busy, that we forget to take care of ourselves. Now I have 3 kids and a regular job. I started to go to the gym again. This is my ME time. But I continue my easy yoga journey every day.

We have to take care of our bodies, our self-beings. I hope my story inspire you to find your way to stay healthy, physically and mentally. If you are interested to find more how to start, or have any other questions, leave the comment.
Namaste!
