Yoga improves strength, balance, and flexibility. Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles while holding a pose can build strength. Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Every day except Sunday I go to yoga classes for 1 hour. This experience is a long-term process because I have been doing this for 5 months. Started on 10th September 2021, and still continuing my yoga classes.

I have achieved LO 3, Demonstrate how to initiate and plan a CAS experience. I was not having any physical activity past few months and because of that my body got rigid and body pains happened frequently so I organized a plan where I wake and 6:30 and go for yoga at 7 and board the bus at 8:30. This would make my day better by having good vibes in the morning. Initiating was difficult because of the timings of my routine work and was unable to wake up at 6:30 in the morning, because of that I used to skip my classes, so accordingly I have made my timetable which I am following daily. It is important for us to plan and initiate activities so that our things go in flow without any disturbances.

LO 4, Show commitment to and perseverance in CAS experiences because I was showing commitment towards yoga by waking up early in the morning. Commitment was required to complete this activity because I wanted to change my body posture and make my body flexible. Yoga also helped me in balancing my menstrual cycles which were going off track. To achieve our goals we need to show commitment and perseverance. It is easy for me to commit to things because when I do something which interests me, I will definitely show commitment towards completing it.

Learner profile characteristics I developed in this activity was, Balanced, as I was understanding the importance of intellectual, physical and emotional balance to achieve personal well-being. My activity brought a sense of enjoyment to me because I have seen a growth in my body because of regularly doing yoga. My body pains gets relieved, I feel fresh in the morning. I have reduced my weight as well as inches. The highlight of this experience was that now I am going to give an exam of advanced yoga in may or June, that certificate will help me in future if I want to open an yoga class as my side income.
