You have talked about mental and sexual wellness along with physical wellness, do you think in India it’s given less importance comparatively?
Ms. Radhika Bose
Mental and sexual wellness are difficult topics. People are not very comfortable discussing them with anyone. Most find it cringe.
But just like your physical health plays a big role to live a fruitful life
, so does your mental and sexual health. I don’t think India gives it less importance, I feel we have difficulty starting the dialogue. We are too concerned about what others might think or say..Ms. Namita Nayyar
With International Yoga Day around the corner, what does yoga mean to you? How did it play a pivotal role in your journey?
Ms. Radhika Bose
Yoga is not just one day to be celebrated. It’s not an event. Either it’s a part of your everyday life or it’s not. My yoga journey has been more about building mental strength than physical. Yoga has helped me cope with a lot of difficult aspects of my life.

Whether you are a beginner or a pro, there’s something for any and everyone who wants to start their fitness journey or simply take it to the next level. Share some beginner yoga postures for weight loss?
Ms. Radhika Bose
It’s a very narrow-minded view to see yoga just for weight loss. If you want to start your fitness journey, then the first thing you do is set your intention. Why have you chosen this path? Once that is set, everything else will fall into place. There is more to Yoga than just weight loss. I would say don’t demean its importance by making it only about weight loss.
