Yoga

Last week, Jordan's dad came to our class to help us do yoga, being a yoga teacher and all. So we all went outside with our yoga mats and, well, did yoga! Fortunately, it was a beautiful day out, which was better for me because I think the nice atmosphere definitely adds to the feeling you get when you do yoga.

I've done yoga before, but not seriously. I was able to better experience yoga the day we did it in class because I took myself doing it more seriously. The physical part of it wasn't easy, but it wasn't painfully difficult, either. You definitely have to relax yourself in order to stretch yourself farther. That applies to your mindset, too. When you do yoga, I think it's best to forget about your situation, whether you're overwhelmed with a million problems at the moment or you have an essay due next period. It's like mind-cleansing!

After yoga, I did feel more relaxed and "loose", and also more refreshed. Just laying down on the grass towards the end of the session allowed me to rest a bit so I was ready for the rest of the day.
