Vadodara – Obesity today is no longer just a physical condition but has evolved into a global health crisis, often linked with mental and social challenges. Amidst this growing concern, 55-year-old Meenaben Sachania from Vadodara has emerged as a shining example of how yoga can transform lives.
Originally from Saurashtra, Meenaben once served as a village development supervisor at Tata Chemicals in Mithapur. After relocating to Vadodara in 2007, a shift in lifestyle, family responsibilities, and professional changes led her weight to surge to 110 kilograms. Dealing with physical weakness and mental fatigue, she made a life-changing decision in 2020 to embrace yoga.
As per report, her early journey was filled with difficulties—she needed support to sit or stand and struggled with basic movements. However, through regular yoga practice over three years, she managed to lose 30 kilograms. Today, Meenaben is not only physically fit but also mentally stronger than ever.
She credits yoga for awakening her inner strength, stating that it has made her feel balanced, calm, and confident. Currently associated with the Gujarat Yoga Board as an instructor, she teaches yoga to more than 65 individuals daily, with a special focus on senior citizens.
Once engaged in selling homemade pickles and meals from door to door, Meenaben now guides others on the path to health and wellness. She believes that yoga has completely redirected her life’s course, and bringing positive change to others has become her greatest satisfaction.
Her story stands as a testament to the profound impact yoga can have—not just in managing obesity, but in fostering long-term lifestyle changes. Meenaben Sachania’s journey is an inspiration for anyone looking to transform their life with determination and holistic wellness.
