We are taught how to treat disease how to do surgeries and how to fix broken bones. We are not taught how to create health. I started my health journey eight years back late by any standards at the age of forty-eight years. And I feel the fittest now more than ever in my life. I am grateful to know Dr Rajat Chauhan who convinced me that I didn't have a major problem when I was advised a knee replacement who lifted my morale when it was at rock bottom after years of pain and who told me that I would be able to run a marathon one day. Yoga happened by chance. I was desperately looking for solutions as medicine did not give me any. Yoga taught me that health is very simple and doable it's the disease that should be difficult.
