\section{Connecting body and breath}
I think I am able to do this well because not only do I have several years of experience with exercise, and in running controlling breath and body together is crucial in maximizing performance. I have also done yoga several times, and was privileged to be able to take a yoga and Pilates class this spring at my community college. Compared to traditional exercise, I certainly have to think about breath more, but it also wasn't something I never thought about before. I really enjoy the focus and concentration spent on each movement, but I do wish we went a little slower.

\section{Favorite exercise we've done in class}
I really like the warriors, but my favorite has to be chaturanga with downward dog being a close second. Something we were taught this spring is that while both might seem hard at first, you realize that they're actually recovery positions and when my instructor said that, it helped me enjoy it more. I think even just shifting how you think about them, not even because you're getting stronger, can help make the asanas easier.

\section{Using breath, core activation, and control}
I find it pretty easy to incorporate all three. I have never done a core workout that was easy, but to me, the breath is pretty intuitive. Certain motions just have a specific breath associated with them so you don't even really have to think about it. While I certainly am not an expert, and really hope I don't come across as a holier-than-thou guy, I was a varsity runner in high school, varsity runner in college, and currently work with a coach out of Kalamazoo every week. So I have spent a lot of time focusing on how my body works and targeting specific areas.

\section{Physical and mental state}
After my 80 minute commute and before the rest of my day, I really like being able to take an hour to disconnect and focus on me. I'll probably keep bringing it up, but in the spring we were told that the class was our allotted selfish time that we don't have to worry about other people. I really can't speak to my fitness level. While I'm currently "training" for a race in two and a half weeks, with another race three weeks after, I don't exercise enough currently to see a marked improvement. Not that I think yoga isn't exercise, but I can't compound the effects with another sport.

\section{Decluttering physical energy and the mind}
This goes well. Again, from my experience with racing, I know how to channel my thoughts and focus only on what I need to focus on. The same goes with class, I'm able to ground myself during relaxation and completely unclench my muscles. Sometimes it feels like I'm still holding something, but then try and specifically untense a muscle only to realize I already did because I just do it automatically.
