I feel like breathing is the most important part of yoga. If you do not focus on breathing then there you will not be able to feel connected with the whole experience of doing yoga. Yoga is all about relaxing yourself and the body and that all starts with the breathing. The way you breath can help with the process and the way you feel the yoga working inside the body. Breathing deeply in yoga can actually help you avoid injury. Deep breathing can also allow us to experience our true essence. The flow that the steady in and out action of breathing creates stimulates a transformation in the body and mind, purifying and cleansing them so that our true mind and body. Yoga is all about breathing and how you should inhale and exhale at specific times when doing a pose in pranyama. It is taught by the instructor on when do take a deep breath in and when to really exhale and feel the air leave your body. Taking breathes while doing yoga makes the body feel better and have a better experience doing yoga.

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 ...
