In doing yoga throughout the semester, I was able to see that meditation is key when doing yoga. It is one of the key aspects in how we breathe and how it helps the body when we are in a relaxed state of mind. When we do yoga we usually begin when we work on breathing and becoming one with ourselves. It is an important aspect to think of when doing yoga. In yoga it presents a key important role when doing yoga. I find it to be one of the most important aspects in yoga because if you are not relaxed and in a meditative mindset you will not be able to fully do the yoga correctly. My impression of meditation is that it is important to see how it helps you and relaxes the mind and help it becomes a calming state of mind. I feel like keeping yourself calm during yoga is key and the way you feel after meditating and doing yoga is when you feel like your real self.

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.

After going to yoga every week this semester since starting class I have felt completely different about life and the way I see things. I would say that yoga is seen as a healing practice because of the way it makes you think about life. After walking out of class my body has felt completely different and I have felt healing in the body. I did not know that I would be able some of the certain stretches and poses and my body felt like it was healed after doing them. I did not know yoga could have such a big impact on someones body. I feel like the practice space as well brings a healing vibe, it is usually dark in the room and everyone is just worried about themselves and not worried about the people around them. I feel like the vibe that is in the room when I have gone to yoga has only helped me in the process of going to yoga and not worrying about outside matters when I am in class. It has changed my mindset as I have gone to more classes. Even after this semester I still ...
