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

"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.
