Yoga; Thursday, Second Period [05/25].

[died8yearsago]

"So," said Rosa, with a bit of a sigh that seemed almost like a preamble to the topic for this week's class, "one things about yoga that's really important that sounds a little ridiculous is breathing. Obviously, breathing in general is important to things like, you know, living." A...pause. "For most of us," she amended, and continued: "But it's not something we generally think about. With yoga, though, and the mindfulness that goes with it, paying attention to one's breathing while going through your asanas will improve your experience and give you much more out of it. In the Eight Limbs of Yoga, this one's called Pranayama, so there's your cool, hip vocabulary word for the week.

"That's what we'll focus on today. We'll do a few Sun Salutations to get us started and see how much of it you retained from last week, and then we'll go over some breathing techniques to help you do yoga better. Cool down with some more Salutations, and that's it. Pretty simple, right?"

She was absolutely ready to judge anyone who thought otherwise.

Warm Up - Yoga, 05/25.

Do you remember the Sun Salutation sequence from last week? Great. Rosa doesn't think you're too much of an idiot.

Although, if you don't, she will guide you through the steps as she does them herself. Somewhat begrudgingly.

And if you want to do something completely different? That's up to you, too, just don't let it get in the way of other people's shit.

Gladio definitely remembered the sequence from last week, and, in fact, his balance one some of them seemed a little better, too. Almost like he'd been working on them, or something.

The warrior poses were still definitely his favorite.

Nell was all quiet smiles today - happy about the bees and good friendships and maybe even Cup Noodles. And if she spent a little too much time surreptitiously watching Gladio go through his form, it was almost entirely because he'd made such progress and barely at all because he looked goos doing it. Really.
