Singer Lee Hyo-ri revealed the reason she first started practicing yoga.
On the 10th, a video titled "Not Hyo-ri, But Ananda: What Yoga Instructors Really Think" was uploaded to the YouTube channel "A Yoga."
That day, Lee Hyo-ri emphasized that she must not neglect her yoga practice, which she has continued for 12 years.
Regarding how she began yoga, Lee Hyo-ri said, "At first, I started because I didn't want my shoulders to hurt. Then, I wanted to show off with cool poses. I worked extremely hard on flashy moves as well."

She continued, "There were so many advanced practitioners that I couldn't show off. In the end, what remained was living safely and protecting my life without any mishaps." She shared what she realized through yoga.
Lee Hyo-ri remarked, "I am naturally a person with a lot of energy. If I hadn't done yoga, where would I have put all that energy?" Her comment drew laughter.
She added, "Raising a dog and practicing yoga, even in small ways, ultimately made me feel at ease. By becoming addicted to something healthy, I was able to avoid other addictions." She explained the meaning of yoga in her life.
Meanwhile, Lee Hyo-ri currently runs a yoga studio in Seodaemun-gu, Seoul.
