Bhopal (Madhya Pradesh): For many women, yoga has emerged as a powerful tool to combat physical ailments, mental stress, hormonal imbalances and lifestyle-related disorders. Four women from Bhopal shared how regular yoga practice helped them regain their health, confidence and quality of life.

No asthma attack after taking up yoga

Frequent asthma attacks, sinusitis, cervical pain, chronic backache and anxiety had become a part of 50-year-old Rakhi Sharma’s life.

She began practising yoga four years ago when menopause-related changes left her struggling with anxiety, depression, low self-confidence and several health issues.

After joining yoga classes, she gradually noticed improvement. Through regular yoga, Jal Neti and other yogic cleansing practices, her sinus problems disappeared, while her asthma attacks stopped completely.

Her shoulder and back pain also subsided, and she regained her confidence and emotional well-being.

From migraine patient to yoga teacher

Yoga instructor Sushma Chandekar, 52, has been practising yoga for the past 18 years. She turned to yoga to address her health concerns, including chronic sinusitis and migraine headaches.

The benefits she experienced motivated her to pursue a Master’s degree in yoga and become a professional yoga trainer. Today, she conducts online and offline classes and has led yoga sessions for several institutions.

Sushma says yoga not only helped her overcome migraine and sinus issues but has also enabled her to help many others manage conditions such as PCOD, dizziness, muscle cramps and stress-related disorders.
