YOGA during Enrichment in Middle School

By: José Manuel Ruiz 8th Grade

During Enrichment Session, I practice yoga in Ms. Claudia Coronado’s class and I always learn something new. I have been there for over four to five months, and I like it so much that I rarely think that I should try something else. The reason why I like yoga so much is because it relaxes my body and releases all the pressure off my mind. It’s a way of finding peace and be completely inside ourselves. I also like the stretches that we do because it gives us more flexibility and gives our muscles more capability to move. I enjoy the posture exercises, but sometimes they are difficult to maintain resistance. Still, you get used to it and after some classes you really get to enjoy it.

Yoga is a relief for anything that is affecting you or making you have bad days. Another cool thing of yoga is that it is the only class that you don’t need to think, instead, it’s the other way around; you end the class having your head completely empty as if nothing could disturb you for the rest of the day. Yoga is my reason for liking Thursdays because it is a class where the only thing you learn is to be happy with yourself by being completely yourself.

In conclusion, yoga is a good management of time, where you experiment new things and take care of your body to make you feel confident and peaceful. Yoga supports you to think optimistic and helps knowing your body better, that’s why it is something very benefitial.

Instrumentos Músicales. Una clase con energía.

Hola:

La  clase de “enrichment session” estuvo muy padre porque algunas veces me toco tocar la batería, y a mí me fascina. También estuvo padre por que tocamos en conjunto de otros instrumentos, como la guitarra, la batería, los bongoes, el bajo, el piano, etc. Una de las canciones que me gusto tocar fue la de “One less lonely girl”  porque aparte de que la tocamos, también la cantamos. Y me gustaría que compraran más baterías porque a mucha gente le gusta.

This is a great class for any of those who have musical interest. You will find that in this class you can harvest your creativity and express it in one of the most beautiful forms on this earth: music. Not only that, but the class is rather enjoyable in its self. You’ll be able to play many different kinds of instruments and create tunes wouldn’t imagine. I recommend entering this Enrichment Session, and hope you enjoy it, as it’s simply superb.
