To start the day we did a group check in on how we were feeling that morning. Then we went right into a vinyasa yoga practice which was a great way to get our day started. After vinyasa the group worked together to make a group contract. We talked about what we wanted to get out of this experience and discussed our values and the environment we want to create for our cohort.
Then we took some time to write letters to ourselves that we will reflect on at the end of the year. After the lunch break we headed to the Fernwood Yoga Den where we participated in a yin yoga practice. Yin yoga is a slower paced form of yoga where the poses are held for longer periods of time. The aim of yin yoga is to increase circulation in the joints and tissues. Yin yoga was a very relaxing experience. We finished our day back at school where we took some time to quietly work on our personal journals. This day was very relaxing and we got to take time out of our usually busy schedules to do some self reflecting.
