Yoga At Sea

He was the Captain of a cargo ship.

- A. N. Desai

As part of the industry requirement, annual health check-ups were compulsory for the staff. In preparation for this, he went to his family doctor for a routine visit and found that his cholesterol was quite high. The doctor said, “I am prescribing a pill to help you to lower the cholesterol”.

“How long do I have to take the pill?” the Captain asked.

“Lifelong,” was the doctor’s reply.

This was the time the Captain decided that he had to do something about his health, as he did not want to take the pill all his life. Having joined ships at the age of fifteen, he had been smoking cigarettes for a long time - nearly thirty years now. He then remembered a fellow ship mate, who, knowing his previous attempts at quitting smoking, had recommended The Yoga Institute to help him lead a better life. That very day he went to The Yoga Institute and enrolled himself for the 7-Day Health Camp.
