   When I started doing yoga I had to change my whole way of thinking. At first, I tried to perform the most difficult positions. It was painful. My problem was that I viewed yoga as a regular exercise program. I just thought that if 1 worked harder, I would see results faster. But keeping fit is more than just an exercise program; it’ s a life style. I had to learn that yoga is about (22)slow improvement, both mental and physical.
   Yoga is also a form of meditation, exercising the mind, body, and the spirit. Through yoga, I am learning to harmonize these three things. It helps me to (23)escape from the stress of everyday life. Now, instead of getting upset about problems in my life, I approach them in a calm way. And it’ s a lot easier to (24)find solutions when your mind is clear!
   My original goal was to lose weight. But most importantly, I now feel better, (25)emotionally and physically. I am happy about my body, my life, and myself.
