Yoga is a very popular activity and lots of people practise it nowadays. There is an opinion, however, that to be successful in this activity you should start yoga in early childhood. This is not true! You can start yoga at any time in your life. What you really need is enthusiasm and a good trainer - yogis often call them a guru.

Yoga is not a competition. You can choose any pace that is comfortable for you. The aim is not to win but to make your body flexible and strong. It’s definitely impossible to improve your body in a few days. It may take lots of time but it’s worth the time and effort. Yoga is an effective way to relax your mind. It is useful not only for your body, but for your mind, too.

I was sitting in an arm-chair and watching my sister Alison. She was getting ready for a party. Alison was 15 years older than me and she always treated me like a child. Alison took her jewellery box from the table. The box was made of wood and had colourful stones on the top.

“You know you must never touch it, right?” Alison said.

“If the box was mine, I would allow you to touch it whenever you wanted,” I answered. Alison said nothing to that. When she put on her jewelry, she looked like a princess. She moved gracefully as if her feet didn’t touch the ground. Alison kissed me goodnight and left. I tried to resist my curiosity but I could not. I opened the box.

Inside, there were beautiful necklaces, earrings, and bracelets. I couldn't help but try them on. Suddenly, I heard Alison's voice behind me. She looked surprised and then disappointed. I realized I had broken her trust. MUST
