Palash profiles a young achiever, Dayeta Sarkar, from Rishra, West Bengal. She is a rising star in yoga. An exclusive for Different Truths.
Yoga is the best fitness drill for any individual of any age. Irrespective of someone who is an athlete or a contact sports person or a MNC corporate achiever fitness is a basic requirement to stay alive, active, and healthy as health is wealth.
Albeit, the art of flexibility and balance is a skill that is not everyone’s cup of tea. Dayeta Sarkar, a young talented girl from the town of Rishra, West Bengal has defined what exactly achievement is in terms of youth.
Dayeta had represented India in International Yoga Competition
Dayeta had represented India in International Yoga Competition for the first time, in 2012, in Asian Yoga Championship. She has three medals in the Asian Championship, one in the International Yoga Festival, and one World Championship.
Representing India
After all, representing India in any form of sports is the highest honour one can achieve and this young talented girl has exactly done that. Let’s delve into the details of her skill and practice.
Her debut in yoga was, in 2011, in Srikshetra Dharmasthala, Karnataka in the 36th National Yoga Championship. Wherein she secured a Silver Medal. Her second appearance was, in 2012, in Indoor Stadium, Hyderabad, where she secured 3rd position in Yogasana. It was the 2nd Asian Yoga competition.
Dayeta stated, “Sixteen years of practice, hard work, and dedication made me achieve everything. The mantra is practice, practice, and practice. After all, there’s no alternative to hard work and passion.”
Flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance are the key forces in yoga…
Moreover, flexibility, strength, balance, and endurance are the key forces in yoga to achieve and do things that look impossible. In professional-level yoga, there are four categories: 1. Yogasana, 2 Artistic Par, 3 Artistic Solo, and 4 Rhythmic.
Every time a lay person tries yoga, his/her fitness level increases. Yoga is the only thing that works, as the balancing act increases flexibility, reduces fat, works as a medication drill and most importantly, it’s a thing of deep concentration, she states.
Motto for Success
It’s worth mentioning that the motto for success at a young age is to remove all sorts of negative distractions and remain focused on the final goal.
Dayeta’s parents inspired her to learn yoga. And she started practicing at an early age. The obstacle to success is that people around you try to demotivate and create hurdles.
Sadly, yoga has no future in this country.
Sadly, yoga has no future in this country. There are no government jobs, no appreciation, but just struggle. Perhaps it’s better to concentrate on studies.
Dayeta faced initial huddles trying to manage studies and yoga practice at the same time. Currently, she is pursuing her post-graduation in Psychology. But that never stopped her from achieving her dreams.
Although advanced yoga needs strength, she never went to the gym. All she does is running, jogging, squats, push-ups, etc., at home. Meanwhile, weight training is something she never did.
Few of her poses are next to impossible.
Few of her poses are next to impossible. One the favourite poses of Dayeta is the standing 180-degree leg split where the left leg is raised above her head held by both her hands. And her second most favourite pose is the handstand where the entire body is balanced on both her hands.
Some of her photos here give a better idea of what exactly she can do. One wonders if she is a rubber girl or some mutant that has no bones in her body. As she rotates her body any way she wants to.
