Yoga Session 2

        For this week's yoga experience, I decided to try a short YouTube yoga class instead of going to an in person or zoom class because my week was rather busy and I wasn't sure if I would have time to take part in a scheduled class.  I did a class with "Madfit," because I have heard good reviews about her YouTube channel.  This post was only a twenty minute full body stretch and yoga for stress and anxiety relief.

        The setting she taught her video class in was a well lit room which was painted light gray room with white floors, and a small leafy tree plant in the right corner.  Her setting in which the video was taught felt very calm and was aesthetically pleasing to look at.  She spoke very calm, slowly, and quietly which made the practice feel very tranquil.  She explained that this was meant to be a brief practice so viewers could practice do this in the mornings and in the evenings to stretch your body and to reduce stress before the day begins and before going to bed.

        She focused on deep breathing in the beginning and then went further into neck stretches and light stretching for the rest of the body.  She said this video was more for the stress relief aspect as opposed to really doing deep stretching.  I really enjoyed this short yoga session and I think it is something I want to begin doing every morning at night for anxiety and stress relief.  I think it is also a really good way to keep my body stretched, relaxed, and healthy.
