Correct Answer: used to


Solution : The correct choice is the first option.

Explanation : The original sentence contains a tense inconsistency. The verb "want" is in the present tense, while the time reference "when I was in school" suggests a past context. To accurately convey a past habitual action, we need to use the construction " used to". It aligns with the idea that the speaker had a regular practice of learning yoga during their time in school.

So, the correct sentence would be: I used to learn yoga when I was in school.
