Past Simple vs Present Perfect

Which tense should be used in sentence that has adverb RECENTLY ?

For example :
I ____________(take up) yoga recently . I wish I had started earlier .

Could you explain it a bit ?

It seems to me that you could use any tense you want with 'recently' except those that indicate future time. For learners, however, the perfect tenses are usually recommended. Follow your teacher's advice on these.
