Three generations of women bond through yoga
Having children can be a challenge, especially when they begin growing up and refusing hugs where their friends might witness them. During adolescence, young people may begin to drift apart from the rest of their families, much like the leaves of a tree subjected to a cold autumn rain. However, exercising together can be a good way for different generations to bond, and this is just one of the many benefits of yoga.
According to the Toronto Star, meditating, stretching and relaxing is one way in which the women of the Dhalla family stay connected to one another.
Each week, Roshan Babul meets up with her daughter and two grown grandchildren to engage in yoga at the local high school. Although Babul is 80 years old, she is more limber than her family members and inspires her granddaughters to achieve her level of flexibility.
"[My grandma is] determined to live a healthy lifestyle," said Amira Dhalla, quoted by the news source. "She can't do all the moves, but the fact that she tries I admire so much. Every time we tell people we all do yoga together and it's a family affair, we have really big smiles on our faces."
