Hello bloggers, welcome back to another blog post. In Health, for this unit, we have been focusing on fit for life. So far we have learnt about nutrition, budgeting, comfort zones and interpersonal skills. Currently, we are learning about fitness, relaxation and stress management.
What is Yoga?
Yoga is a physical, mental and spiritual practice that enhances your flexibility, mind, and emotional wellbeing. This practice contains dynamic poses, breathing techniques, and meditation.
Benefits
Yoga enhances your physical wellbeing, because with all the poses and stretches you perform, it helps you become more flexible. It also helps you with your emotional and mental wellbeing because doing meditation and breathing techniques soothes your negative emotions.
Box Breathing
This breathing technique helped me feel more calm and control my emotions.
Yoga
We did some yoga, and personally yoga is not for me. It felt calming, but the poses weren’t really helping, but the breathing did. What helps me soothe my emotions, I would listen to music or take a walk on a cold morning.
Stress
