In class we did a form of yoga called Iyengar Yoga. I noticed that the postures were held a little longer than normal because this kind of yoga focuses mainly on correct body alignment rather than just getting into a posture just to say you did it. I noticed that I paid more attention to how my body felt in each posture moreso than any other kind of yoga practiced. One posture in particular was the warrior pose. It made me feel more aware of my leg mucles and in a away I felt that it sort of awakened muscles that had not been used in quite some time! I also noticed that we did a lot of hip opening excersices and that really made me feel really limber afterwards.
I have started to notice that if I do not practice yoga a few times a week that my body feels like it isn't connected (it's a weird feeling that is hard to describe!) I start feeling stiff and like things aren't moving as fluently as I would like them to.
