The second image featured a selfie of Edwin in light gray athletic wear at a hot yoga studio. Accompanying this post was a thoughtful caption emphasizing the importance of prioritizing his well-being during difficult times. He wrote,
“Having good habits is what will get you through your dark days. It’s when you’re under pressure that your true character is revealed”.
