Yoga

This week during the Tuesday practice there were less students than other weeks. The setting of the space we practice in was the same dimmed room with the loud noisy kitchen. We practiced some postures and breathing. As each week past by it is getting easier. I also become more relax after practicing. On Thursday Jenn Kretzer came to class to teach us Sivananda Yoga. In the beginning of the class we practiced breathing and then we done postures. Some of the posture were similar to the one I practice on Tuesday, but doing handstand I cannot do. Yoga is becoming really popular in our culture today. Different people are practicing now and some practice for fitness by sweating and other do yoga for therapy if they are sick, have body problems, or to relief stress.

This year practicing yoga is a first for me. I was never interested in Yoga, but after practicing Tuesday nights at the lodge i am getting interested. I play basketball on my free time and lift weights at the gym. I usually do not stretch before playing or doing my routines. Before taking the yoga class, my lower back felt uncomfortable whether if I was standing, sitting, or lying down. After doing yoga from day 1 it relaxed my body and my lower back did not hurt as much. As I keep going my lower back did not hurt. As I take the yoga class, I feel relieved. I do not think of anything else and let everything go at that moment. My body feels relaxed and calm. During my practices at the Lodge, I learn to breathe inhaling and exhaling. As I continue to do the posture over and over again it is not as difficult as I first started.
