The topic in which I have chosen to research on is Pranayama. This is the 4th limb of yoga and is directly translated as breath control. This was an area of yoga that was very difficult for me throughout my experience this spring. Most people would probably want to write about something that was very interesting and natural for them in yoga, but I figured that writing about something that was a struggle for me would help me to be able to improve in this specific area.
During yoga exercises, controlling and listening to your breathing is one of the most important areas you want to focus on. Inhaling and exhaling deep breaths throughout the exercise keeps your mind focused and your balance more precise. The reason this was such a struggle for me is because it is hard for me to focus on one little thing for such a long period of time. During exercises I would start off with a deep inhale and exhale, but by the end I was completely distracted. My mind would begin to wander and the last thing I was worried about was how I was supposed to be breathing. It was frustrating to me that I was...
Before adding the Ujjayi breath to your yoga practice, try to do it while seated on your mat in a crosslegged position. Begin by taking a slow, smooth breath in through you nose. You should not breathe in so much air that it is uncomfortable.
The topic that I chose for my research paper was Pot-Modernism. I absolutely love this type of writing. It is filled with Science Fiction and Syfy-ish writings. This makes for a very interesting read and it will definitely keep you on the edge of your seat. This was the only section that we read all year that I read the story all the way through and not just skim through just so I had a basic idea. I read the story from our post modernism book and not only that I also went and found the whole book and have begun reading it. This section was by far the best read that we had. Don’t get me wrong some of the other sections were really good but Post-Modernism was the most intriguing to me.
I choose head start as my topic, I chose this because I think that head start is something that can really benefit the children and how you are starting them in a positive learning experience that can affect the student throughout their life. I also chose this because when I was in high school I went over to the head start and would help volunteer and it was incredible to see how much the students knew and how fast they would pick up new things.
To be clear, it was not a walk in the park to find a research topic. I first decided to research the history of LGBT because I wanted an easy A, but I soon realized that that topic was way too broad. Then, I decided to research the Stonewall Riots and how it has changed society in terms of today, but I found myself quickly uninterested. The last
When we were told that we needed to pick a research topic, I wasn’t quite sure what to do. After thinking about it in class, I decided that I should research what it is like to play college basketball because I’m playing college basketball next
Section 1: What is your topic, and why is it important to study this topic?
When using this yoga, “one should holds one’s body, neck, and head erect in a straight line and stare steadily at the tip of nose” (Bhagavad-Gita 268). Also, one must free their mind of
Becoming a healthier person interests us all, from young to old, being fit is something we strive for. Nowadays, one means of achieving that goal is through yoga. Though the use of breathing exercises, meditation and strength postures, people have actually lowered their blood pressure, aches and pains fade away as their body becomes more athletic.
In a world full of skepticism towards the alternative, Yoga has created a place of growing belief for itself. As Timothy McCall, M.D. states in his book Yoga As Medicine: The Yogic Prescription for Health & Healing: A Yoga Journal Book:
The topic that I choose is mental health education for teenagers in school. Mental health is a person’s condition with regard to their psychological and emotional well-being. In schools we have classes focusing upon the physical and educational well-being of students but has ignored the mental well-being. The lack of mental health education results in people not knowing how to properly interact with mental illness both in others and with themselves. Not only is the knowledge of how to deal with mental illness an issue but the stigmatization that has derived from the lack of understanding creates a negative environment in confronting these illnesses.
I decided to analyze the short story The Necklace by Guy De Maupassant. It was very complex in the way it was written. The use of complex words did make it a little difficult to read. Once you got past the wording, you was able to grasp the meaning and understanding of the story. The Necklace was meant to teach the reader or audience a lesson. This is why I found it fascinating to write about.
Yoga could be described as the practice of holding different poses, and using diferrent breathing techniques that strengthens the mind and body, by bringing the practitioner into a new state of awareness.

This week’s analysis is associated with the yoga class provided online to help with stress reduction. The first term that I came across was psychophysiology and how this principle is based on the mind and body being one and how our thinking affects all physiology. 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
