On Wednesday, I went again to Tilton Fitness and participated in their "Fitness Yoga" led by Sandy Poluski. Her class was similar to last week. After the class, I spoke to her about how long she as been a teacher for and where she went to school. She reported that she has been teaching for 5 years and went to Yoga Nine for her schooling and certification. Her style of yoga was mainly Hatha yoga mixed with some other styles. I was suprised to find that her class had a lot of Ashtanga practice. We did the chaturanga multiple times and mainly focused on that. It consisted of high plank, low plank, upward facing dog, and downward facing dog. Overall the class was very relaxing and I enjoyed her style of teaching.
As this is my final blogpost, I'd like to reflect on this great experience. Between the karma project, essays, and the yoga classes I attended throughout the semester I have had a new appreciation to the emotional, spiritual, and physical benefits from yoga. I not only have felt more relaxed and rested, but my anxiety seems to have diminished because of practicing. This class I went to this week was similar to the previous classes. Sandy focused on the crow position and sirsasana. Everyone in class this week have been going to her classes for a few months now so there were no newbies. She was trying to let us hone these positions. Overall this class has been a wonderful experience and I've actually decided to declare a holistic health minor now because of this. Because I am a nursing major, I had only been exposed to the biomedical approach to healthcare. I now have a new interest in the alternative and holistic health approach. Have a great summer!
