My yoga classes have made me more conscious (no pun intended) of taking a moment to breathe deeply when feeling stressed or anxious. Although, I am seriously horrible at meditating for an extended period of time. My first attempt at meditating was a 15 minute group session. All I could think about was the itch on my nose, the burning sensation in my back, and when I could move. It hasn't changed my life but hopefully I'll get better as my yoga training continues...or else. I haven't taken the time to understand the science behind what happens in the brain when meditating. But I have no doubt that it's all good. The link below is a great article and reminder to be still and take a breather.

I love yoga but haven't had a chance to meditate. It's interesting to hear about your experiences.
