This past Saturday I attended a yoga class instructed by Megan, an employee from Cornell Fitness Center. Although I was having a hectic weekend, I ended up appreciating the hour I spent in her course. I am sure that I am not the only one who has a fitness center pass yet has not attended a group class since the first few weeks of the semester. Thus, I was happy to have the extra push to attend the yoga class this weekend since it counted as a Rose Scholar event.

I was especially pleased when she guided us through eagle pose, one of my favorite balancing poses. She told us that she picked this pose for the class because it it is cold season and apparently the pose massages the lymph nodes. Perhaps, I will make going to yoga more often a priority; until this past Saturday, I had forgotten how much I really do enjoy the relaxation and challenge.
