LEARNING YOGA ASANAS <\/strong>I <\/strong>ACTIVITY<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

LO\u2019s: develop own strengths and areas of growth, skills,commitment and perseverance, challenges undertaken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yoga is an activity that is well-renowned over the world for its benefits. Yoga, also, is a medium for us to remember our own culture and values. It has positive impacts on both our mind and body. For these reasons, I chose yoga as one of my CAS experiences. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

L1 – Identify own strengths and develop areas for growth<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I got to know about my strengths and weaknesses while performing these tough yoga asanas. I found that my body was not as flexible as it should be. <\/em>During the initial stages of learning, I was not able to do these asanas, particularly pranayam.  I knew that I had to make my body more flexible. So to do so, I started doing little warm-ups to reduce the stiffness. This helped me and I learned pranayam with padmasana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

L2 – Demonstrate that challenges have been undertaken developing new skills<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Tough challenges were taken especially when I decided to do shirshasana. Sirsasana is one of the toughest poses. It is more commonly known as headstand. I started practicing the pose with the wall. As I got some control over my body, I started to increase the time of my stand. However, when i thought that i was ready to do it without any support, i was wrong. I could not maintain my balance. The trick to maintaining balance is concentrating at one point and remaining calm. As soon as I used the trick, I was able to accomplish my goal of doing shirshasana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

 L4-commitment to and perseverance<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To learn these positions, I used to wake up early in the morning. My father used to guide me in this. I also learned Bakasana, or the crow pose. It strengthens your abdomen and arms and stretches your back. It also helps in improving your balance and blood circulation in those areas. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I used a timer so that I could hold my position for at least 30 seconds for each asana. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

L7-Recognize and consider the ethics of choices and actions<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Choosing this experience made me reflective of myself. It made me curious about the functions of the body and how doing yoga affects them. I started to think more about our culture and values that we inherit but are lost somewhere in this modernisation. I have decided to do yoga and improve my skills whenever i get time.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
