I was in L.A. during an earthquake in 1994, an experience that really stressed me out. I started doing yoga to calm my nerves.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Yoga gave me the ability to calm down.
I used to get nervous so I took up Yoga to help me calm down.
I do a lot of yoga and meditation. It calms my nerves and helps me channelise my energy.
I attempted to do yoga in German, and it was not particularly successful. So at that time, I started thinking about the idea of just movement and how I could move to de-stress.
Have I had therapy? I went to a yoga class once.
Yoga has been the best tool for managing stress and life's challenges. Everything from my studies to my father's death was eased by my practice of it.
I began by doing physical yoga, initially just for the workout, as exercise. I would get peaceful and calm at the end of it, and I was curious about that.
I do a lot of yoga, and when I'm in L.A., I have an outdoorsy sort of lifestyle. It's sort of comfortable, West Coast, yoga chic.
When I'm under stress, I do yoga. It's when I'm happiest that I have a problem with junk food.
We had our first earthquake over here recently. That was a bizarre feeling. I just became disoriented and I remember my dad freaking out. Nothing broke or anything.
