    After registering for this class, I was excited to be in an environment designated for yoga practice, but due to the current circumstances I now practice yoga in the comfort of my home. Specifically, I find a nice blanket to lay on some open space in my room and light a fragranced candle to set the tone of relaxation. Being alone, while practicing in my own space gives me a sense of freedom. There is no reason for me to feel challenged or intimidated by others' more experienced since it's just me and my virtual instructor.
    Personally, this is what makes my practice space sacred. I appreciate the ability to grow at my own pace. Also, having the option to pause and continue the yoga content is helpful. In order to perfect particular positions, sometimes I need a minute to become aware of my body. Luckily my home is pretty quiet so I don't experience any interruptions or distractions. Therefore, by the end of the semester, I hope to learn how to reach a meditative state. I feel this will add to the quality of my sessions and give me the full yoga experience. 
    I am looking forward to practicing yoga in a studio when it is safe. Once I am more acquainted with yoga, I will be able to thoroughly embrace the face to face practice. For now, I am soaking in the remote alternative and using it to my advantage, as a beginner. As the weeks go on, I hope to find new things to incorporate into my atmosphere that'll to add to the sacredness of my bedroom sessions.

    what kinds of environments are created by your online instructors to make their spaces feel "sacred" or what practices are they incorporating?

       My last yoga session was instructed by Diane Polli, via ZOOM. We were introduced to Bikram yoga on a beginners level. Diane did not practice with us, but she delivered each position verbally, in a fluent detailed manner. The asanas weren't too advanced which made the session enjoyable. I especially like that she directed us to do two sets for each asana. This way, I could test it out the first time and try to perfect it the next.                 Eventually, I realized that I was familiar with a few of the asanas but I have never physically tried them. The more we practiced, the more of a challenge it was for me to execute the later positions. At times, my body would get tight. I'd also accidently hold my breathe sometimes when I was concentrating on the positions instructed at the time. Even though she would emphasize breathing here and there, I would still forget, which caused me to be a bit winded. This ...

     In the article by Nevrin, he describes a ritual as something that directs the practioners focus toward the phenomenality of the body. Doing so targets the "sensorium of the participant". A ritual, in this form, changes the natural attitudes of the human body. Through everyday postures, gestures, movements, etc., different modalities of awareness intensifies the "bodily felt sense". These senses are differentiated from the ones experienced everyday.       Moreover, my practice can be analyzed as a ritual, according to Nervin because of the various ways that I move my body and the way that I feel those moves as go through my practice. Personally, I sometimes close my eyes during a posture to solely use muscle memory. This tends to help with the execution of my postures, as newbie. Rearing my focus to my body ensures that my concentration stays within, rather than wonder off, as what takes place when I try to focus my gaze st...

     This week we had Iyengar and Ashtanga yoga practices. I enjoyed the opportunity to get moving around more than usual during class time. So far I have taken a liking to Iyengar sequences oppose to Ashtanga. The movements are more in sync with my current bodily ability so I tend to feel comfortable and capable. Our instructors for this week, Amita and David taught Iyengar and ashtanga with their own personal knowledge, experience and style, which set the two practices apart.      While practicing Iyengar with Amita, she demonstrated each and every posture. Every movement was broken down verbally and physically to ensure execution from us, students. This is something I appreciated since I am fairly new to yoga, and she taught the class as such. Her postures made me feel grounded and relaxed, as she remined us to plant our feet on all for corners, whether for balance or reset position. I used that as a basis to stay on track without wobbling or forget...
