With this semester essentially having no breaks, I have been really struggling with taking time out of my week to practice a self-care routine in the midst of all the exams and assignments. I have been feeling extremely burnt out from school work and most days I feel like taking time for myself isn’t possible even though I could take some of the time I use to scroll through my phone to be more active instead. For months I have been trying to implement yoga into my routine a few days a week and I hope in the future it can be more frequent. This event seemed like the perfect opportunity to get the ball rolling. Taking Lewis Freedman’s virtual yoga class on a beautiful Sunday morning in front of my window was relaxing yet so rejuvenating that I felt ready to take on the day. This is really different from my usual routines on weekends which usually consist of me waking up extremely fatigued from sleeping too late the night before. What was most rewarding was how quick, yet effective the session felt. In just an hour my body felt stretched and my mind felt calm and motivated. This one session really showed me just how possible it is to squeeze in an act of self-care into my busy schedule. Having a teacher guiding the session was really helpful so I want to take a full yoga course here at Cornell so I’m more knowledgable about yoga and can more easily fit some sessions into my routine.
