I might have my own mat, but I have a hard time doing yoga on my own. That’s why I decided to come to the yoga class last week. I had a good time stretching out my body right before finals went into full swing. I liked the variety of the poses shown, there was more than just the standard sun salutation. We completed side twists, something else, etc. The instructor was nice, paced the class at a speed that I could follow, and understood that sometimes a break was necessary, and recommended sitting or child’s pose instead of some of the more difficult poses. It was calming to focus on something other than looming finals. I don’t exercise nearly as much as I would like, but this class has inspired me to take out my mat and use it for its intended purpose rather than for lying down on the floor.
Yoga before finals was such a good idea for me too! It was nice to take my mind away from school and to really focus on my thoughts about life and other more important things.
