3. You are to reflect on the performance based on the internal feedback you received during the routine. Things to consider when reflecting: • How did you perceive your state of mind and body during the performance? • What physiological responses did you receive during the performance? • What mental skills and techniques were you aware of during the performance? Thanks to using mental skills preparations I was very relaxed during the routine. I was in a peaceful surrounding so I could focus completely on my body. Before performing the yoga routine I breathed for a few minutes deeply and calmly to relax myself while looking at my plan with poses. I re-read the plan over and over (while breathing) to help me imagine myself in all those poses – to perform better. Personal relaxation and imagery were the keys to the success of my performance. My set goal was to complete the yoga without falling over because I knew that I wouldn’t be able to perform all the poses perfectly as it can do only professionals. I wasn’t negatively stressed before or while doing the routine. It was more of a positive feeling of doing something new and exciting.

Whether you're a pro athlete or someone just starting to get into shape, the strengthening and stretching positions and motions yoga puts you through is an excellent start for staying, and becoming, an athlete. When first starting, certain positions, like a backbend, may not be accomplishable. But with time and work, slowly your body loosens up until you can feel the muscles throughout your body, and you become more aware of yourself. As you develop self-awareness, it also becomes easier to tell where you body is weak or strong. Which joints may need extra work, while others may not. Targeting your weaker points, instead of relying on your stronger ones, will indulge you with less injuries and illnesses. Call it becoming one with yourself. ...

Psychology deals with the study of mental processes and a variety of behaviors. In order to fully comprehend ourselves, we need to understand the causes of our behaviors and our outlook on life. Habits and behaviors have positive and negative effects in our life. When we know ourselves and learn about our unique personality, we can develop and pursue goals.

Many of these types of yoga overlap in the techniques performed during practice. Hatha Yoga, Kundalini Yoga, Bikram Yoga, Ashtanga Yoga are four of the most popular types of yoga in western practice. Hatha yoga is best described as a relaxing, rejuvenating yoga. It is often practiced by those who are just beginning to be interested in yoga and is not as physically demanding as other types. Kundalini yoga is the next level of intensity after Hatha yoga, as it is structured, emphasizes proper form, and has a greater focus on breathing techniques over Hatha yoga. Next, Ashtanga yoga is an intensive, physically demanding type of yoga that provides yogis with a full body workout. Finally, Bikram Yoga combines fast past, intense yoga stretches, with high room temperatures and humidity, to induce sweating to trigger the release of toxins in the body. For the purpose of the review about understanding the effects of yoga on wellbeing, we will consider classic or conventional yoga to be standard of practice. Classic yoga is considered to be a perfect balance of each of these four types of yoga. Most yoga programs teach a combination of these types of yoga, and in general it is believed that it is best to have a balance of strenuous and recovery-type yoga’s.

This principle was the perfect definition of yoga because yoga focuses on how the mind and body connects with each other. It gives you a sense of relaxation throughout your mind and body together. Furthermore, the yoga that was in the video was a yoga style called hatha. Which practices asana (yoga postures) and pranayama (breathing exercises). According to the book, this practices helps bring peace to the mind and body and prepare our body to do deeper exercises. The art of breathing was mentioned during the exercise and in the book. Breathing is very important when trying to unite the mind, body, and spirit. So, having slow, deep breathes was a main focused during the exercise. Another term that was used in the video was the art of stretching, which allows us to become aware of our flexibility of our muscle while moving. Lastly, the art of balance is significant because it allows us to move into the next form of position on both sides of our body. Some of the workouts pose that was mention in the textbook that I did was two knees to the chest, cobra, and head of cow. Overall, hatha
