My Yoga Experience
During the month of October, I spent the entire month doing a practice of Yama and Niyama. Looking at different practices of Yama and Niyama I ended up choosing Satya and
Saucha. I was really excited to start both practices because it really is something that I felt that I need to do in my life to re-establish my thoughts and spirit. During the practices, I recorded the changes in my thoughts and how I was feeling throughout the entire month. I was surprised with the results of what I discovered about myself and how it bettered me as a person through the course of the month.

Now I'm not going to lie, I wasn’t able to fully do this constantly for the full month and I know that I only had to do one week. However, I know myself way too well that I was going to slack off time and time again. Anyone who knows me knows I have a very messy room and I am generally a messy person. So, throughout the month I challenged myself to keep my room and myself in general clean. I was hoping that it will help keep my thought in order and prove myself that I can have more control of my life and actions I take heed. As completing this practice, I would meditate and pick up things from my room and keep everything clean. As I was doing this after a couple of days I did slack off, but I picked right back off and pushed myself hard to make sure I was doing this. I discovered my mood changing a little bit I wasn’t as stressed out all day and I was able to sleep a lot more and I just …show more content…
Even though Satya focus more on feelings it kind of piggybacks with Saucha by helping to center ourselves and our thoughts not to be such in a clutter. It was interesting to see that it did correlate with each other, and how by doing Saucha it made Satya a lot easier to do. Throughout both practices I had to really focus in the heart space and how I personally was feeling but not as a victim but as an observant of what is going on. I have heard my professor explain this many times, but I truly couldn't completely stand back and observed I still saw and felt what was going on and doing Satya and Saucha. Both of them showed me to understand myself a lot more and to take back control of some situations that I believed that I lost complete control over forever. Personally, Satya showed me how low I saw myself and helped me learn to be easier on myself and to enjoy my own company. On the other hand, Saucha showed me that my clutter wasn’t only in my room but surrounded by my entire life and it helps me learn that I have control over my life and actions. Yes, both practices have their own indifferences but, the center point of both are extremely similar that both branch of on bettering oneself mentally and spiritually. I truly enjoyed learning from practices and what it showed and had to offer me not only in my life, but what I can project outward to my friends, family, and
