Relaxing time…

For American guys, life in Rome is not only studying at the Institute and visiting beautiful monuments: it’s also taking some time for themselves and just… relax.

Today we tried a yoga class. We set the room and layed on the floor with our towels. The yoga teacher put some soft music and whispered instructions about how to relax our body and mind. We moved slowly and gently, flexing and streching our body and keeping concentrated on our mind. We learnt how to breath correctly, as a good breathing can affect positively our body and mind health.

As the class finished, we all could experience the benefits of this discipline. We felt relaxed and fit at the same time and, in some way, our mind was closer to our body. It was amazing! A very nice experience!
