I’m glad I chose to learn yoga as
one of my long term activities for CAS. This definitely is not the end of this
experience since I’ve learned how Yoga can keep me calm throughout the day
regardless of the stress and frustration that hits me. The explanation behind
each and every posture that I have learned from my teacher has made me a reflective person.
Understanding the benefits of the
posture has helped me work towards self-development. Usually, most of us work
out or exercise without knowing the reasons behind them. But a sophisticated
understanding of them has created a passion in me for Yoga. Practice sessions
everyday first thing in the morning have helped me take control over myself
mentally and physically. I strongly
believe that such control is essential in life for well-being, especially
during stressful times including IB deadlines.
Of course, a lot of postures were
difficult to perform in the beginning since I had not stretched and flexed those
muscles before. However, with a little bit of practice, I could feel the
soothing pain! As I became more flexible, I was able to feel a new energy
within. That’s what helped me gain complete control.
I have always been confused when people asked
me to listen to my heart or my mind during critical situations. I only
understood the nuance of those statements after learning yoga. This may not be
crystal clear in words, as “actions always speak more than words”. But I will
still try my best to put forward what I feel! Simply taking everything off your
mind helps you remain calm. This is exactly what Yoga helps you do!
