Yoga practice: Week 1

 Hello! Today was my first day at trying to understand (and actually like) yoga! I decided to follow along with a video I found on Youtube for beginners yoga by a channel named "Yoga With Adriene". I plan to try and find a new video for a few weeks so I can see what kind of energy or mood I like best. 

I haven't done yoga in a while but I do know some basic posses. I liked how Adriene really explained the posses and how to do them. Not just saying "get down on all fours on your mat" but explaining where everything should be positioned and how you should be reach from the earth. It was very helpful with feeling like I was doing everything correctly. I did like how she focused on how to breathe in the beginning and throughout the video. Though I did feel a little frustrated when I couldn't do the posses with the same flexibility as she could but felt like she wasn't someone who wanted you to get the posses exact, just as close as you can. Thankfully nothing she did was too hard so it felt like a good start. Overall it was pretty good. Still got a bit frustrated and maybe if it went longer I would have gotten more angry but its a good start! I'll try someone maybe more energetic this week to see the difference in styles.

    How long was the class? Make sure that you give as many details about the classes you take as possible. This will serve you as far as comparison goes. Good start.

Diane Polli

In class, we followed along with an instructor by the name of Diane Polli. I was excited to try with an instructor that my teacher had picked out since I knew they would be good. Though I was a little worried that she may be a little too advance for me or maybe too fast but you have to try out different people to find your preferences right? Also it was a bit longer than I have been doing. I have been doing classes that are between 30-45 minutes to get started. So here's how it went! Right off the bat we were in the thick of it! I turned on my zoom camera and grabbed some water. By the time I came back with the water., I thought I had to of been gone for longer than a minute since the stretches looked more complicated than warm up stretches usually are. I have done where you first focus on your breathing and doing just easy stretching poses to warm you up. I felt like I had skipped to the middle of the video and not a beginners one at that. I felt like she was going very fast, thou

Goat Yoga

 This week I had decided to try something I have heard about though sadly can't experience right now, Goat Yoga. Life is so frustrating right now so I thought this would be fun to watch and follow along to. Its by Unus Annus at the Laughing Frog Yoga studio in Los Angeles. The goats name are Gigi and Felix there are benefits to doing yoga with goats than just humans. In Goat yoga unlike other practices, the healing isn't just physical or a spiritual journey but one of joy and happiness. The goats are hypo allergenic so it's safe most anyone to do. The main factor is laughing at the cutes jokes and the light hearted atmosphere that it holds. Most classes are very serious and I always feel uncomfortable about it. Instead of a teacher readjusting you, its a goat. Plus the poses are still the same as most yoga classes just with goats jumping on top and going underneath you. Plus you get deep goat massage's which can help with some back problems.  With this video, I definite
