When and how did I start? I had been doing yoga even before I started this everyday yoga practice. I have been doing yoga for about three years few times a week and every January (2019,2020 and 2021) I was doing yoga every day because that was when Adriene from Yoga with Adriene always released her 30-day yoga program.
