This week, I yet again went to Sandy's class and still struggled with trying to get into a hand stand. I was able to master the crow pose however! I've also noticed that my lower back is not hurting as much as it used to. I'm starting to feel not only the physical, but also the spiritual and emotional effects doing this weekly yoga practice is having on my body. I can only imagine how I would feel if I went more than just once a week. I was able to get into a tree pose without falling over so my balance is improving a lot as well!
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!
