Time management is a significant issue that I have faced in the past. However, I decided

to take active measures to deal with the matter such as engaging in time management activities.

As part of my time management efforts, I recently undertook a yoga class. I concentrated my

efforts on a yoga style known as Anusara. This paper shares my own thoughts about how

Anusara can change the perception of life aspects and improve personality as well.

Anusara is often seen as the purest form of yoga (Iyengar) in that it encompasses a sense

of humor in its practices. John Friend is the founder of this particular practice. In brief, Anusara

is based on the principles of acceptance and heartfelt emotions. Rather than trying to fit

everyone’s expectations on standard positions, Anusara encourages participants to use unique

poses for through personal expression. Besides, Anusara views life as a form of gift that we

should celebrate by engaging in various yoga practices.

Initially, when I joined the class, I would feel exhausted very fast and even run short of

breath. However, my physical form improved over time as my body has adapted to the demands

of the practice. The instructor used the vinyasa style to offer instructions on how to go ahead

with the practice. The vinyasa style involves a student holding some primary poses for a

lengthened period. Coordinating the bodily postures with the breath patterns, warmed the former

and focused it on the intent of physical expression. The yoga teacher would conclude the class by

engaging the students in a meditation practice, which lasted for an average of 6 minutes.

At the start of each class, the instructor required the students to recognize the universal

power of spirit found within and around us to create a link between physical yoga postures and

the spiritual purposes of the practice. I particularly liked how Anusara coordinates movement,

postures and breathing patterns to achieve its goals of attitudinal expression. The poses and the

coordinated movements played an essential role in improving my general form of posture.

Another aspect that I liked from the Anusara yoga is that rather than the instructor trying to

impose on my postures, he would explain how to abide by the principles of alignment, thereby,

allowing me to develop on my own.

The practice was beneficial to my mental and physical aspects as well. I engaged into the

practice with the aim of refining my mind and body awareness. So it laid the foundation for

bodily structural changes. The practice improved my body’s resilience and became less

susceptible to common ailments such as fever. I became stronger and more flexible as well. I

became more relaxed after the practices and could recollect my thoughts easily without getting

distracted. Additionally, managing educational related stress became much more comfortable

now that I could understand how the body and mind functioned concerning each other.

Yoga practice is one of the many ways in which a person may decide to engage in to

spend his or her free time. The practice does not need any specialized equipment; it requires just

consistency for one to start reaping the benefits. Recommending the practice in work

environments and institutional settings might help in reducing stress, therefore, improving the

drive and self-worth. This will, in turn, reflect on the work output and improved academic

performance.
