युवाओं पर बहुत तनाव होता है। उनके सामने हमेशा परीक्षाएं होती हैं और उन्हें यह या वह लक्ष्य हासिल करना ही होता है। योग उनके लिए वाकई बहुत फायदेमंद हो सकता है क्योंकि उनके मन में तमाम तरह की भावनाएं आती होंगी और योग उन्हें एक सही दृष्टिकोण और संतुलन पाने में सचमुच मदद करेगा।

There's a lot of stress on young people. They've always got exams and have to reach this goal or reach that goal. Yoga might be really good for them because there must be a lot of emotions that come up and yoga would really help to get a perspective and balance.

जब मैंने पहली बार इसके बारे में जाना तो यह बहुत अजीब लगा क्योंकि मैं ये सारे आसन कर रहा था, जिन्हें आसन कहा जाता है, और मैं सोच रहा था, 'अरे, यह सब तो मैं बचपन में भी किया करता था। मैं कंधे के बल खड़े होने वाले और उल्टे आसन करता था।' इसलिए मुझे लगता है कि मैं बचपन में अनजाने में यह सब करता था, बिना यह जाने कि असल में यह क्या है।

When I first discovered it it was so weird because I was doing all these positions, they're called Asanas, and I was thinking 'But I used to do this when I was a kid. I used to do shoulder stands and upside down positions.' So I think I used to do it as a child subconsciously, but not knowing what it actually was.

योग एक ऐसी चीज़ है जिसे एक बार अपनाना शुरू कर दें, तो आप सांस लेने की कई तकनीकें सीख जाते हैं और मुझे लगता है कि यह रोज़मर्रा की ज़िंदगी में बेहद मददगार साबित हो सकता है। यह आपके मानसिक तनाव को कम करने में बहुत सहायता कर सकता है।

Yoga is something that once you start practicing it you learn a lot of breathing skills and I think that would really be incredibly useful on a day-to-day basis. It can help you with all the emotional stress.

इसमें सबसे तनावपूर्ण बात यह है कि आप कोई पेशेवर शेफ नहीं हैं। जो लोग शेफ बनते हैं वे रसोई में सालों सिर्फ सब्ज़ियां काटने में बिताते हैं, फिर मछली बनाने वाले विभाग में जाते हैं, जबकि आपको यहाँ सब कुछ अकेले ही करना पड़ता है। यह काम काफी थका देने वाला होता है, लेकिन इसका अनुभव बेहद शानदार होता है।

The stressful part of that is that you're not a chef. People who have learnt to be chefs have spent years in kitchens just on the vegetable section and then move up to the fish section, etc, whereas you have to do everything and it's really full on, but it's an amazing experience.

पश्चिम में हम योग को महज़ एक कसरत मानते हैं, जबकि इसके उद्गम स्थल भारत में यह एक पूरी जीवन-दर्शन प्रणाली है। इसके आसन और व्यायाम तो इसका बहुत छोटा सा हिस्सा हैं, और यही बात मुझे इसकी तरफ़ सबसे ज़्यादा आकर्षित करती है।

In the west we think of yoga as an exercise programme, when actually where it's from in India it's a whole philosophy. The Asanas and the exercise programme are one tiny aspect of it, and so it really, really fascinates me.

योग हर किसी के लिए है। व्यक्तिगत रूप से मेरा मानना है कि योग हर किसी के जीवन को बेहतर बना सकता है। यह कसरत का एक ऐसा शानदार तरीका है कि अगर आप इसे नियमित रूप से करें, तो यह आपके मन को शांत करता है और चीज़ों को सही नज़रिए से देखने में मदद करता है। यह आपको बेहद चुस्त और लचीला बनाए रखता है। साथ ही, शरीर के हर हिस्से पर काम करने के कारण यह बीमारियों से भी बचाता है।

Yoga is for everyone. Personally I believe yoga would benefit anyone's life. It is such an amazing form of exercise and if you practice regularly it really slows your mind down and it helps you to get perspective. It keeps you incredibly fit and really flexible. It helps prevent ailments because you're working all the body.

योग का मतलब है कि उस दिन आपके शरीर की जो स्थिति है, उसी के साथ आगे बढ़ना। कुछ दिनों में कुछ खास मुद्राएं करना आसान लग सकता है, तो कुछ दिन मुश्क़िल। यह खुद की किसी और से तुलना करने या खुद को परखने के बारे में नहीं है, बल्कि उस पल में जीने और अपना शत-प्रतिशत देने के बारे में है।

Yoga is about working with what you've got on that day. Some days you may find certain positions easier to get into than others. It's not about comparing yourself or judging yourself, it's about being in that moment and doing your best.

योग यह साबित करने के बारे में नहीं है कि आप कितने完美的 (perfect) हैं, न ही इससे कोई फर्क पड़ता है कि कौन सबसे अच्छा है या किसका शरीर सबसे ज़्यादा लचीला है। बहुत से लोग मुझसे कहते हैं, 'मैं योग नहीं कर सकता क्योंकि मेरा शरीर लचीला नहीं है,' लेकिन असल में यही वह वजह है जिसकी वजह से आपको योग करना चाहिए। बात लचीलेपन की नहीं है, और न ही यह दिखाने की है कि कौन सबसे बेहतर है। यह तो बस उस खास दिन अपना सर्वश्रेष्ठ देने के बारे में है।

Yoga is not about having the perfect positions, it's not about who's the best and who's the most flexible. A lot of people are saying to me 'I can't do yoga because I'm not flexible,' but that's exactly why you should do it. It's not about being flexible. It's not about who's the best. It's about doing your best on that particular day.

मैं न के बराबर कैफीन लेता हूँ, शराब नहीं पीता और लाल मांस (red meat) के सेवन पर भी नज़र रखता हूँ। आजकल मेरा खान-पान शाकाहारी होता जा रहा है, जो कि मेरे लिए भी हैरानी की बात है क्योंकि मैं आमतौर पर वही खाता हूँ जिसके लिए मेरा शरीर इशारा करता है।

I don't have hardly any caffeine, I don't drink alcohol and I watch my red meat intake. My diet at the minute seems to be verging towards the vegetarian, which is surprising me because I tend to just listen to what my body is fancying.

जब आप फिटनेस की दुनिया में कदम रखते हैं, तो आप अपने खान-पान पर ध्यान देने लगते हैं और यह महसूस करते हैं कि कुछ चीज़ें आपके शरीर को रास नहीं आतीं। मुझे नहीं लगता कि यह कोई सोच-समझकर लिया गया फैसला था, यह समय के साथ अपने आप हो गया, लेकिन अब मैं अपने खाने-पीने का पूरा ध्यान रखता हूँ और पौष्टिक आहार लेने की कोशिश करता हूँ।

Once you get into fitness you do notice your diet and notice that certain foods don't quite agree with you. I don't think it was a conscious decision, I think it organically happened over time, but I do watch what I eat and try to eat healthy.

When my life does get frantic and busy, there's always time to fit something in, even if it means getting up 15 minutes earlier. I get out of bed, do a few Asanas and then do a little bit of mediation. I just structure it into the day. It's really, really simple.
