What is Yoga?

Yoga is a great physical fitness program, involving stretching, strengthening, and elongating the spine for proper alignment of the vertebrae. It is also breathing techniques and relaxation, lowering blood pressure, increasing cardio-vascular health, increasing lung capacity, releasing tension and stress, and learning to relax and enjoy life. Besides, calm the mind, bring emotional balance, mental clarity, focus and concentration. In short, Yoga has the ability to help all of us get better – better in terms of healing and rehabilitation, better in terms of strength and flexibility, better in terms of the elimination of pain. Simultaneously tones the body, breath control, mental focus, a sense of well-being, self-knowledge and control.

1st yoga for me was on 7th June, wednesday...ally 'n' i went there together...we were there for testing before register...the course quite reasonable...twice per week - wed 'n' fri, each time 1 hour 'n' 45 mins...only rm85 nett...hehe...

at first everything was okay as yoga will move on harder...the teacher is great as she apply aromatherapy 'n' relaxing musics during the course...which made u really relax ur mind...i almost fell into sleep when she want us to close our eyes and relax our whole body 'n' mind...it's really works...

half an hour before the class end...climax came...haha...the hardest style of the nite...the triangle...where ur head 'n' shoulders need to lay against the wall 'n' make a distance between ur legs like a triangle...one of the feet need to be one straight line as ur leg...the other one need to be 10 degree in by facing in front of the leg...then spread ur hands into one straight line...parallel with the shoulders...now use right hand to touch the ankle of right foot by scrolling down against the wall but remember hands must be in one straight line...butt butt must bend to left hand side when you're scrolling down...head look up to the roof...u'll definitely feel the stretch along ur shoulders till hands...then inner side of leighs...ur waist and others...which made me wana cry...very pain...as tis is my 1st time to stretch my whole body... T T

after the course...felt satisfy 'n' comfortable...it's really a good stretching program which everyone should go for it...thus ally 'n' i decided to register on fri...which is today 'n' i'm supposed on the way to my yoga class now...but i'm in my 1st day of period...my stomach cramps...made me lazy to make any movements...i rather lay on the bed doing nothing...haha...so postponed to next week... :P
