This week I honestly got sick while attending the fitness yoga class taught by Carlos and I had to leave the class towards the end. It seems like for some reason this week was a lot more intense and I literally got sick from it. It probably wasn't the best idea for me to eat less than an hour before practice. Carlos had us do a lot of poses that involed by head being down such as rag doll, sirasana, and Sarvangasana. I'm not toally turned away from yoga because of this experience but it defiantly made me reevaluate when I eat dinner. On a side note, Carlos came outside and made sure I was okay. Kind of embarrassing but it is what it is.
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!
