Helen considers retirement to be a happy and impactful event as well. In the past, as a teacher, she had very little time to pursue her interests.

She indicated that she was very stiff when she started yoga, and she realized that it would have some negative impact on her health.

Helen's belief is that a healthy lifestyle should begin at a young age and that it is too late to begin when you are older. The reason for this is that if you do not maintain a healthy lifestyle while you are young, then you are likely to have troubles when you are old, and many of those problems can be avoided if you maintain a healthy lifestyle while you are young.
