A woman did yoga for one week and couldn’t believe the effects of it. Yoga is an activity that combines physical, mental and spiritual practices and aims to promote physical and mental health.
Today marks International Yoga Day which “celebrates the physical and spiritual prowess that yoga has brought to the world stage”, as per National Today. People across the world join in and practice yoga on a daily basis and there are yoga classes in local areas. Yoga is believed to have existed for centuries and is known as a way to connect the body, mind and soul. Alizée Charet shared her experience of practicing yoga in a video on TikTok.
She said: “This is what happened after doing one week of yoga, one week only. It can change everything in your life.
“It has changed mine, it can change yours, I’m telling you.” Alizée explained that the first time she tried doing yoga with a YouTube video during the pandemic, she “hated it” and decided that she wouldn’t do it again.
Her one goal was to be more flexible so she tried yoga again and claimed that after just one week of doing yoga for 15 minutes a day you “are gonna see your body becoming flexible.”
She elaborated: “Your body is gonna literally release in [a] position that [in] the first session that you did you couldn’t do.”
After seeing her body become more flexible after a single week, Alizée felt like she had to continue practicing yoga and explained that it “feels so good because you see your body becoming stronger.”
She added: “Mentally, it’s mind blowing. I didn’t know I was capable of doing these things.
“It’s so empowering, guys. You feel great. Also, we tend to stick a lot of emotions in our body and yoga is movement so you’re gonna flow and everything is gonna kinda get unstuck.”
She claimed that yoga will help you learn how to “release” as the practice is “all about breathing” and connecting with your body.
Alizée further mentioned that yoga will help you to learn to be patient and loving with yourself, as when you’re facing a hard position in yoga, the goal is to be patient with yourself.
The yoga fan shared that she was “getting so frustrated in the beginning” but then learnt “it’s ok if you’re not there yet.”
She recommended trying again, whether that’s in one week or months, as she said you will see that you can get there and it feels “amazing” physically and mentally.
Yoga has had such a positive impact for Alizée that she is “addicted” and now loves the downward facing yoga position she initially hated in her first position.
She urges her TikTok viewers to give yoga a try and emphasises that it’s “not only for the skinny and wellness girls” as it’s “for everyone.”
Yoga involves physical postures, breathing techniques and meditation. It offers a wide range of physical and mental health benefits, including increased flexibility, strength, balance and it also helps to manage stress, anxiety and depression and can improve sleep quality.
