21 year old yoga instructor set a new world record in holding scorpion yoga pose for 29 mins



An Indian yoga instructor has created a new world record by staying in an advanced position for half an hour.

The Guinness World Records announced Yash Moradiya’s feat on June 21, which is celebrated as International Day of Yoga every year. Moradiya is 21 years old who resides in Dubai, held the scorpion position for 29 minutes, breaking the previously held record of four minutes and 47 seconds.

The scorpion position is all about strength and stability

The pose, which is a strength and stability test, involves resting one’s forearms on the ground and positioning the legs over the head in an arch. Moradiya trained for two years to be able to set the record. But the task was still extremely challenging.

“I was not feeling my toes and my hip and back numbed before feeling so much pain throughout,” Moradiya was quoted as saying by Guinness.

Task is about mental strength

But he insisted that the task was about mental strength. “My achievement is not only physical, it has a lot to do with self-confidence and mental strength,” the yoga instructor said.

He furher added that, “The scorpion position is all about stability. The longer you hold the pose, the better you learn to establish your mental resilience.”

Moradiya has been practicing yoga since he was eight. At the age of 16, he successfully complete a yoga teaching course and began his professional journey.
