Speaking to The Humans of ABUJA, she said:

"My name is Onyinye. A graduate of English and Literary Studies and I am a Yoga Instructor.

I always knew I would not use my certificate as an English graduate to seek for a job, but I needed a formal education.

I fell in Love with Yoga In 2013, while I was still in the university. I have always loved anything that has to do with sports and keeping fit, and would always participate in any sports activity around me, at a tender age.

When my dad passed away sometime ago, I was always sad and almost depressed. I and my dad were really close and his passing away affected me very much. Yoga came to my rescue. It helped me forget about being sad, yoga brought happiness into my life. It made me forget about my worries.

Some people would ask me how yoga did all that for me. Yoga has lots of benefits that helps people all around the world. Yoga gives peace of mind, it relieves stress, relieves Chronic body pain, helps depression, also helps gain youthfulness. Yoga Is a lifestyle and an exercise.

It was something I did personally for myself, before I decided to make it a business. So I opened up a studio at Jabi, Abuja, where people come to do Yoga and also meditate. I went for my certification in India sometime this year, and I also learnt so much during my stay in India. I learnt the art of meditation, where you get to have almost no thoughts.

Yoga is recommended for pregnant women, help infertility and also Insomnia. These are things I have learnt to do. Everybody can absolutely participate in Yoga. Yoga is mastery over the mind and body, through sudden techniques that would help one's mind and body.

Everyone has a purpose In life, and Yoga is definitely my purpose. I am still thriving to be the best I can be."

Nice one!
