After taking three prelims this week, not being extremely stressed out was weird.  I felt stressed even though I had no test looming over my head, I was not really behind in any of my homework, and life was pretty dandy.  Doing yoga this Sunday was so relaxing, that I finally experienced what not being stressed was like for the first time these past two weeks.  By the end of the yoga session, I felt that I could easily fall into a deep sleep.

The calming voice of the instructor as well as his simple yet detailed instructions made this yoga session a great experience for someone who has limited exposure to yoga.  The idea of the four B’s was very interesting and I may explore it some more.  As a martial artist, I recognized the idea behind the four B’s in the core ideas of my dojo back home.  It was fascinating to see the overlap between a peaceful art and a martial art, and I may even implement some of the breathing exercises I learned in a future warm-up that I lead.  As a side venture, I may explore yoga some more, maybe even joining the instructor in the court yard outside Rose for yoga classes.  I hope that we can have another yoga session soon to help me destress the next time I have a lot of prelims in one week!
