Coimbatore: Two little sisters have made the city proud at the international yoga championship held in Thailand recently by taking home gold. This isn’t the first time the siblings are brining laurels to the city - Yashaswini and Samyukthaa, aged six-and-a-half and five-and-a-half, also hold world records for performing asanas in record time.According to their father D Narasimhan, the girls always had a passion for drawing and memory games. “We considered yoga classes for them only when we noticed their high levels of physical energy. We believed that yoga would help them discipline their bodies,” he said.It was around June this year that the girls were enrolled to yoga classes with master S Ganeshan, who runs Kamali Yoga Centre at Saravanampatti.The girls were quick to learn and in no time began winning state-level championships. “They also hold world records for performing asanas such as Samyuktha. While Samyukthaa has entered into the Jetlee Book of Records and Children’s Book of Records for performing three asanas standing on a ball in a minute, Yashaswini set the record by performing 37 asanas in two minutes and 40 seconds,” Narasimhan said.
