Rizwana Rahimi:
When I started yoga after watching the video, I really did not have a great experience the first time because I found it difficult for me because I had not tried it before. The easy part was the smooth movement including inhaling and exhaling, and I found those steps convenient, however, concentration was difficult for me because I could not focus and I kept my eyes on the instructor not to miss any step. Despite our busy lives, I will make time for it because yoga helps me reduce my stress and maintain my peace of mind. Yoga has become a part of my wellness as it helped me to relieve my mind from a stressful day. Therefore, I will try to make it part of my daily routine.

1- The overall experience was very exciting and in the meantime peaceful and calming. Such sessions or classes for Yoga are very helpful for decreasing the stress level.
2- The easy part of the Yoga was 'standing'. Because, any other activity required a high level focus.
3- The difficult activity during the Yoga Video was maintaining focus and balancing breathing.
4- I think that we may make a time for doing Yoga during a week.
5- Yoga enables the individual to live a healthier lifestyle because it directly affects breathing balance, focus promotion, and food diet.

(Q1): What was the overall experience like?

It was a very great experience and mind calming. It was easy and relaxing in which we do it pleasure and interest. We can make for it because it is a very great exercise since we are busy whole day and get tired and we can do Yoga to release stress.

(Q2): What was easy?

Each step was very easy, however the easiest part of doing yoga for me was the stretches. Because the yoga stretches were similar to the taekwondo stretches I used to do. But with a slight difference, deep concentration is required at the end of yoga practice, and because I couldn't find a completely quiet room, I couldn't concentrate well.

(Q3): What was difficult?

The most difficult part of practicing yoga was the lack of mental focus at the end of yoga. Because I came to the conclusion that the most modest part in yoga is complete concentration and complete confidence in doing yoga.

(Q4): Do you think you'll be able to make time for it?

Of course, I think practicing yoga is an urgent necessity for all human beings. Because it strengthens mental and physical strength during the whole working day.

(Q5): How does it relate to your wellness?

Since exercise in itself makes the body healthy, doing yoga is also directly related to ensuring the wellness of our body and thoughts during the busyness and worries of whole the day. In brief, as Sharon Gannon says "Yoga is not about self-improvement, it's about self-acceptance".

1: Overall, my experience at the yoga class was really enjoyable and relaxing. It was nice to take a break from my busy day and focus on my breath and body.
2: I found some of the poses and movements to be easy, especially ones that focused on stretching and loosening up my muscles. The instructor was also really helpful in guiding me through each pose.
3: However, some of the more challenging poses, like inversions and arm balances, were difficult for me. I had to really concentrate and focus on my balance and strength.
4: I'm not sure if I'll be able to make time for it regularly, but I'm definitely going to try. It was a great way to destress and unwind, so I think it's worth making time for in my schedule.
5: I think the yoga class definitely helped improve my overall wellness. Not only did it give me a chance to relax and clear my mind, but it also helped improve my flexibility and strength. I feel like I got a good workout and also improved my mental well-being.

Overall, it was a great experience. I did yoga practice for the first time and I feel like my body comes to life, to feel powerful, and to have a sensation of lightness and ease come over my body and mind. Also, sukhasana was the easy and relaxing part for me, and the hardest part was the mountain Pose or plank pose, at first, I couldn't do it, but after a few tries I was able to do it. In Addition, I didn't think that yoga would be so relaxing, but after this, I will definitely add yoga to my timetable and I will try to spend more time on this relaxing exercise. Also, I believe that Yoga practice improves bodily awareness, calms the mind, and promotes mental clarity, and it's totally related to our mental and physical wellness.

1. What was the overall experience like?
As I settle onto my yoga mat, I feel a sense of anticipation as I prepare to start my yoga video. I like practicing yoga at home because it allows me to set my own pace and choose a video that matches my skill level and goals.

As the video begins, I listen closely to the instructor's voice as she guides me through each pose. The video shows a clear demonstration of each posture, which helps me to understand how to move my body correctly. The instructor offers modifications for each pose, which allows me to adjust the practice to suit my individual needs and abilities.

What was challenging?
Although the video was generally easy to follow, some of the poses were more challenging than others. As a beginner, I found it difficult to hold certain poses for an extended period of time or to move from one pose to another smoothly. I also struggled with maintaining my focus and staying present in the moment, as my mind tended to wander at times.

Do you think you'll be able to make time for it?
Although it can be difficult to stay consistent with my practice, I find that the more I do it, the more I enjoy it and the better I feel. Practicing yoga helps me to connect with my body and breath, and to cultivate a sense of calm and inner peace that carries over into other areas of my life. Overall, I believe that making time for yoga is well worth the effort, and I look forward to continuing my practice in the future.

How does it relate to your wellness?
Physically, practicing yoga has helped me to increase my flexibility, strength, and balance. I have noticed that I am able to move more easily and with less pain, which has had a positive impact on my overall well-being. Additionally, practicing yoga has helped me to become more aware of my body and to develop a greater sense of body positivity and acceptance.
Mentally, practicing yoga has helped me to reduce stress and anxiety, and to cultivate a greater sense of calm and inner peace. By focusing on my breath and being present in the moment, I am able to let go of negative thoughts and emotions and to feel more centered and grounded. I have also found that practicing yoga has helped me to improve my sleep quality and to feel more energized and focused throughout the day.

What was easy?
Watching the yoga video was easy for me, as all I had to do was click on the video and press play. The video was accessible and convenient, as I could watch it from the comfort of my own home and at a time that worked for me. The instructions provided by the teacher were also easy to follow, as she offered clear demonstrations and modifications for each pose.
