Yoga as Meditation

Today at practice I tried to focus on the meditative aspects of the practice. I went to a studio in Cherry Hill called Yoga for living.  The type of yoga was called Svaroopa yoga which I had never heard of before. Today I was feeling very exhausted from finals so my body was aching.  While I went through the practice and the mindful meditation of breathing, I realized how much tension I had been holding in my joints.  The practice of meditation seemed to go hand in hand with the physical aspect of the practice; As I allowed myself to look at my thoughts and meditate mindfully, I also was able to see the stress in my body I had been ignoring.
