My Eighth Yoga Experience

Sivananda Yoga
Date 3/6/2014

This was by far my most favorite yoga class on a Thursday. I loved the breathing in the beginning. It really got me in the mindset to practice. However the holding times were hard. I felt my muscles stretching more than usual. When we did the Sun Salutation I could feel myself getting heated but I was able to breathe. This practice really did teach me the importance of proper breathing. I think my most favorite part of the practice was the relaxation. I felt that my mind and body had a chance to catch up and I didn't feel disjointed from my body and mind at the end. The positions were challenging at times but because of how long we would hold them I was able to find my breath in them and to actually achieve a greater stretch. When reading about the practice I did find it interesting that they included proper diet and meditation into the practice. 

Overall, I felt that this was a unique yoga experience and was one I wouldn't mind having again. It was exactly what I needed before taking my big midterm.
