  • Literal (Need to Know)


  1. What is yoga?
  2. What is the difference between Yin/Yang yoga and Vinyasa Flow yoga?
  3. What does it take to become a licensed instructor in yoga?
  4. What are the benefits of yoga?
  5. How often and how severe can injuries get in the practice of yoga?



  • Interpretive:

The most important thing I gained from this experience is a hands on experience on what the practice of yoga is like and how it directly impacts a person's mood. I noticed how I felt better in the morning if I took a yoga class compared to the days where I did not take part in a class. When I partook in a class at the end I felt at peace with everything. I know the breathing techniques I gained from the practice can be used in everyday life. I can also certainly engage in some of the poses if I am feeling tension in certain muscles. To sum it up the experience I gained from actually partaking in yoga classes has proven to be beneficial to my health and has left me with teaching that I can continue to practice in order to improve my health further.


  • Applied:

The experience I gained this summer has definitely sparked my curiosity in yoga even further. I definitely would not mind to learn more about the teaching and its origin for senior project, but I still think I have a few options available for topics for my senior project. In saying so my experience this summer has solidified yoga as a solid option for me to look into and if anything take up as a hobby throughout my life.
