Yoga practice

Practicing Yoga
After completing my Yoga classes in the Indian Cultural Centre last year, this year I mainly focused on continuing what I learnt.  I planned to practice this at least 3 times a week. To make sure that I don’t forget the asanas, I kept track of them by writing them and then practicing them step by step. This will make sure that I do the right positions at the right time. By doing yoga, I was aware of my strengths and realized how beneficial it is in my daily life. I could easily undertake challenges as I think practicing yoga is a great stress relief.  Learning yoga has made me develop this new skill to a higher level where I started looking for online tutorials.

Goals of Semester 2

This semester will be the final semester for me in CAS, so I have to make sure that I do well this semester and be productive. My goals for this semester are a bit different. This semester, I plan to do more in each activity. This will be a busy semester to handle. With the exams coming in May, I have to make sure I balance all my activities. My goals for each activity are as below:

Cooking: My goals for cooking this semester is to learn to cook more sweets. This will be something that I always enjoy doing. I also made plans to learn to cook sugar-free food after achieving this goal. My mother knows how to make Indian sweets, so I will be learning from her. My goal is to learn to make atleast 2 sweets before the end of this semester.

Yoga: I have been practising yoga three times a week. I'm not able to go to classes anymore, so I'm not able to learn more about it. My goal is to continue doing what I learnt. This will be beneficial for my physical and mental health.

RCCI: We make sure that children are always enjoying their weekly visit to OSC. We have tried including different activities for them to do. But this year I want to do some fund-raising. As a leader, I want to be mroe productive. We are planning on different possible things that can be done to raise money. T-Shirt painting is one of them.  I will discuss this plan in mroe detail in my next post. This fudn raising activity will be for the primary children who can paint a T-Shirt and buy them.
