Dad's yoga suggestion changed my life

How were you introduced to yoga? First of all, I appreciate the question, because it's fun to be able to tell my origin story in this situation. But I was introduced to yoga by my dad. I was attempting to be a professional video game player, which was a whole different story for a different time, maybe I can go into. And I was experiencing lower back pain and hip pain at a young age. And my dad one day said, I've been trying this yoga, you should try it out. And I immediately in my mind was like, I'm not going to do that. And he said, it's really one of the hardest things I've done. So I went with him and thinking in my mind, if my dad can do it, I probably could totally do this. And I remember for 90 minutes, I basically just tried to survive for 90 minutes. And now I've been doing it for 15 years.

I was introduced to yoga by my dad when he suggested it as a way to help with lower back and hip pain that I was experiencing due to playing video games. After trying it out, I found that it was difficult but rewarding, and have been practicing it for 15 years.

I was introduced to yoga by my dad. At the time, I was pursuing a career as a professional video game player and was experiencing lower back and hip pain. My dad suggested trying yoga, but initially, I was resistant to the idea. However, he mentioned that it was one of the hardest things he had done, which piqued my interest.

So, I decided to give it a try, thinking that if my dad could do it, I could too. I vividly remember my first 90-minute yoga session, where my main goal was simply to survive. And now, I've been practicing yoga for 15 years. It's interesting how a small suggestion from my dad led me down this path.
