All forms of exercise share similar goal

I started practicing Korean martial arts when I was seven and then for my whole young life. In my early 20s, I felt a little bit disappointed with traditional martial arts and I wanted to do something not only physical but with meaningful movements.

Then I traveled to the United States and found yoga.

The core of martial arts and yoga is the same, that is focusing on the present moment, calming the mind and controlling the body. I found the only difference between them is the speed of movement. Yoga is slower, and it helped me calm down and control my movement and mind at a slower pace. I gained a love toward yoga.
