Blog #3


After attending a number of yoga classes I feel like I have been able to grow as a person and see who it does affect peoples lives in different ways. I exercise daily and enjoy doing it and feeling good about my body afterwards. Since doing yoga I feel like it is more framed and has more of a purpose to get across during the class. Going to the class this week the purpose the instructor was trying to get across was to go with the flow and not to worry about what other people say and do. I feel like because the instructor is trying to get a positive message across it is different than a normal exercise. One could be motivated to exercise but when you go to the yoga class the instructor is drilling into your head to stay positive. The space around could feel more empowering because the whole class is completing the same poses and stretches. When doing a normal exercise it is completely different because you could look around and compare yourself to everyone else. In yoga you feel like it is a unison and everyone is working towards the same goal. In yoga it is okay to miss a pose, when working out we push ourselves to be the best and show off to lift heavy. In yoga the space feels more welcoming and gives a relaxed vibe. I think since there are positive vibes around when in yoga I was able to feel more empowered about life and the outlook I have on life p. After leaving all the yoga classes I have attended it feel better about myself and have a more positive outcome on life. Yoga has changed the way I have been thinking lately. I have enjoyed going and feel better about myself after completing the classes.

FINAL BLOG!! 1000 WORDS!!!

Before coming into this class, I never really knew the affect yoga could have on someone and the way it affects the body. After learning about the history of it and how each culture looks at yoga differently it has broadened my eyes that yoga actually has a positive affect on people. Some people have think let me just do it because I see famous people doing it. They try to jump on the bandwagon of the newest trend as we saw in certain movies that we watched in class over the semester.   Like many beginner yoga students, it took at least a couple weeks of classes before I stopped looking around to see if I looked like everyone else while doing the poses. I wondered how ridiculous I looked in various poses, thinking for sure that when the instructor suggested a modification, it was meant for me alone. Following the breathing cues felt like trying to write with my left hand, and after five minutes in “Savasana,” I was convinced we were left in the dark to fend for ourselves. it wasn...

Sivananda Yoga

Yoga has become extremely  popular in the culture. First it started in traditional cultures to counter culture and now pop culture. We see so many celebrities doing yoga and trying to stay fit. It has turned into this phenom that everyone is seeing that yoga can help with the mind and body. Each culture sees yoga differently, the west could see it one way while we would see it a different way. In Sivananda yoga we see that everyone has their own way of teaching it and way they do yoga. I feel like pop culture has put a different view on yoga and the way it can affect the body. Celebrity's go to all these classes and have changed the way we see yoga. They have starred in movies trying to promote the way yoga feels. In today's society we have seen that yoga has changed. In this yoga there is more breaks after the poses which could get boring after a while. I like it when we move non stop and don't have so much of a rest time. Everyone sees yoga differently in today's soci...

I think that yoga has been defined as a word or action but in reality it has turned into so much more in the united states. Every culture has a different way of seeing yoga and what it accounts for and how it helps the body. Going to practices I am able to see in the united states that each instructor and teacher sees how yoga affects them and the way it has helped their life in some shape or form. American yoga I feel is more modernized then the yoga in India. It is interesting to see that going to yoga with different instructors and how each practice has a different way of looking at a culture. Going to practices have changed the way I see yoga and i’m seeing that each culture has a different definition of it. Everyone sees it differently but i think if you have the right head space when doing yoga it will give everyone hopefully the same results.
