I’ve always drove pass buildings that offer yoga and I’ve always wanted to try it out. I’m glad that Yoga covers the art class that is required to graduate because this makes it a win-win situation for me. I have learned many things within this class. I never knew that there was another language behind yoga, and it’s interesting to be able to learn it. Yoga to me is always a positive thing, I feel like this class is a “me” time. I am able to concentrate on myself, and learn about myself instead of outside things. This course has taught me a great deal of things, such as self-discipline, self-education, and things about myself.
Tapas is one of the five Niyamas. A Niyamas means rules or laws, and tapas itself means self-discipline. I have learned …show more content…
In high school I would slack off and skip school a lot, and coming to college, I’ve learn that it’s not expectable here. You go to class on your own will, you do your homework on your own will, and you study on your own will. I have used Svadhyaya to help me pass the quizzes and exams in Yoga by studying the asanas and language that we’ve earned in class. I’ve learned how my body works in terms to the different poses that we do in class. I know my limitations as to how far I can stretch or how long I can hold a pose. I am thankful to be taking this class because my work and school schedule makes my physical activity limited. However, yoga is here to help me work out, and it allows me to strengthen myself. An area of my life where I see self-improvement is my breathing and concentration. I always worry about homework and grades, but I’ve learned to set it aside and enjoy the asanas in class. It’s relaxing to be able to do the corpse pose, and be able to empty my mind and just focus on my …show more content…
Being from a minority group, I have grown up wanting what others have. I don’t practice Santosha sometimes when it comes to something as simple as good writing skills. With English not being my only, and first language, I struggle with writing, and reading. However, I’ve learned to except that my writing and reading skill aren’t as good because I am lucky to be able to speak Hmong. I am content with the culture background that I come from. Sometimes things don’t always work out the way we plan it, but Santosha reminds me that there is a purpose for everything. Accepting what happens is the best way to keep Santosha a part of my life. This to me means being happy with what I’ve got, instead of being unhappy about what I don’t have.
I’ve noticed that I have been able to practice ahimsa in class and in my asanas. With certain asanas, I know when to give my classmates enough room. For example, when we do the shoulder stand, I know that my classmates and I need enough room in between ourselves to do the asana. I wouldn’t say that I’ve made friends in class, but I greet my classmates and start conversations with them to catch up about the week. I am respectful to my classmates when they aren’t able to do certain asanas by not laughing or making fun of them. I adopt a considerate attitude in class with every
