“Yoga is a journey of your own growth and awareness by quieting, strengthening and learning to control the mind, body and spirit.” - Judy Weaver
Courtenay: I did take Yoga classes myself, while they were available to me, when I was still living in Indiana. I loved the way I felt afterwards. While the classes didn’t take my pains and aches away, they did help me to relax and forget some of my stress and anxiety...at least for a little while.
One thing important to Yoga is the breathing. That is one thing I tried to practice on my own before I even knew anything about Yoga. I did it when I was still over in Kandahar, while I was in my bunk at night. I would close my eyes, fighting off a pounding headache (which was pretty much the norm) and try to relax myself by slowing down my breathing and listening to classical music on my headphones...just softly enough that I could still hear the sirens when they went off.
