3. You are to reflect on the performance based on the internal feedback you received during the routine. Things to consider when reflecting: • How did you perceive your state of mind and body during the performance? • What physiological responses did you receive during the performance? • What mental skills and techniques were you aware of during the performance? Thanks to using mental skills preparations I was very relaxed during the routine. I was in a peaceful surrounding so I could focus completely on my body. Before performing the yoga routine I breathed for a few minutes deeply and calmly to relax myself while looking at my plan with poses. I re-read the plan over and over (while breathing) to help me imagine myself in all those poses – to perform better. Personal relaxation and imagery were the keys to the success of my performance. My set goal was to complete the yoga without falling over because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to perform all the poses perfectly as it can do only professionals. I wasn’t negatively stressed before or while doing the routine. It was more of a positive feeling of doing something new and exciting.

I am not as flexible and sometimes I couldn’t perform the pose correctly (e.g. in “Standing Forward Fold Pose”). I think I should do more stretching few days before performing yoga routine to present more control over the movements. What was great during the routine was that I could feel my back being totally straight. In my opinion my yoga routine is great for people who have problems with sitting and standing straight all the time. The exercises show and teach how pleasant and comfortable it is to have a straight back and practicing the routine might help in having a correct

    Over recent years, Yoga has become more and more popular in Western society. I first learned about Yoga while I was in high school. One of my best friends, Ashley, began suffering from anxiety. She had a tough time coping with her panic attacks so her doctor suggested that she in role in yoga classes for relaxation purposes. She took classes once a week in addition to medication and counseling. She really enjoyed her classes and in joking around she would show me the stretches she had learned in class. After about a month of classes she noticed that she was becoming more flexible and calmer in her daily life. At first I though it was a bit funny because you have to hold awkward and strange stretching positions for long periods of time, but I also found it interesting that such small exercises could have such a large impact on one’s body and mind.

    Stopping at these two key areas is perfectly alright, still, it is recommended to include mental health. This section is very important because without mental stability people would not be able to control their physical and emotional actions. It is recommended to receive emotional support, since it helps people vent their frustrations and fears, to clear their mind from the emotional build up they have accumulated. There are many ways to let out emotions. Some people recommend activities such as practicing mindfulness or attending yoga classes. Yet, it seems most people believe that yoga is not for everyone. This is usually because people believe that they are not flexible enough. Surprisingly though, there is no need to be flexible in order to practice yoga. “The point of yoga is not to stick your foot behind your head, or to have some place to wear your cute Lululemon gear. The point of yoga is to reconnect you to the deepest part of you – to rediscover who you are, and then carry that out into the world” (Yoga is for Everyone). In other words, yoga is meant for meditation. It is meant to help people relax and connect with their body’s emotions, while incorporating some forms of mild physical movement.

Inhaling and exhaling deep breaths throughout the exercise keeps your mind focused and your balance more precise. The reason this was such a struggle for me is because it is hard for me to focus on one little thing for such a long period of time.
