This Is What Happens When You're Trying Yoga For The First Time

Here's What It Looks Like To Try Yoga For The First Time

Plenty of experts will tell you it takes 21 days to form a new habit — but when it comes to yoga, it's actually more of a lifelong commitment.

In the video above from Buzzfeed, employees at the company try out yoga for the first time in their lives, and — we were happy to see — it's not all ommmms and zen meditation for them. The people in the video have a range of physical abilities, but the one clear connector is that none of them find yoga particularly easy.

While yoga has been linked to a multitude of health benefits, it's also a challenging practice that requires a fair amount of devotion and patience, particularly for beginners.

Take a look at the video above, and tell us — was this your experience when you started yoga, or another exercise program? Or did you adore it right away?
