My Seventh Yoga Experience

Today the focus was hip openings. We did a lot of mini back bends all while opening our hips. This was exactly what I needed to-do today. I felt great release in my hips and hamstrings. I had been in pain for a couple weeks from the yoga classes we were having on Thursdays so this was a little gentler on my body. We did some focus breathing in the beginning of class that really helped me to focus on the class and on what I wanted to get out of the class. I was able to maintain my breath throughout all the positions. As I was able to focus on my breath my balance increase and I actually was able to feel some inner heat. Which was different the heat I felt trying to do the harder positions in the past two Thursday classes. I knew it was a good class when I finally laid in the corpse pose and was able to feel the muscles relax and actually rest my back on the floor.

In this class I really enjoyed focusing on my breath and actually feeling the positive aspects of it on my yoga.
