Yoga 1 has been a wonderful experience for me, I came into the class not knowing much about the subject or practicing it very much. However, one of the major reasons why I enrolled in this course was to improve my breathing. Often, I find myself feeling as if I am not breathing enough or even that I am not breathing deep enough, this applies to when I am exercising or going about my daily life.

Breathing is something you will always do until the day that you do not, meaning death. I find that when I breath nice clam breaths, I have more fun and relaxing experiences in life as opposed to when I take shallow quick breaths or hold my breath I have stressful and rushed experiences. One of the direct importance of breathing in yoga is that when you breathe into your poses, it opens you up and creates less strain on your body.

Avid focuses around organization, teamwork, and for you to critically think. These skills are new to many and are provenly beneficial, however these skills do not favor those that have already had these skills and are show casing their full potential.
