Over the past week or so, I have been very focused on my school work as we are entering the height of the fall semester. By practicing yoga, it has given me a mental break from school and has helped to reduce my overall stress levels. I appreciate that yoga has also given my body a physical change from sitting at my computer for long periods of time. Sometimes when I am practicing positions that are calming, I like to imagine that I am doing yoga on a warm, sunny beach (hopefully I will get back to travelling soon). I find that this strategy helps me to enter a state where I am mindless and relaxed.
