Cooper Davis Yoga Plus Journal Entries Journal Entry #1 I feel like living in the present means not focusing on what has happened in your past, or what may happen in your future, but instead focusing on what you are doing and can do right now. I think that people who live in the present are happier people because they dont let the things that happened in their past get in the way of their peacefulness as well as the fact that they don't stress over what the future may or may not hold, they are content with the life they have at that very second.

And to me it seems like people get so focused on the things that they can't change to the point that they forget the things that they do have control over. And as long as we to focus on the things that we can actually change, our lives will be a lot happier than if we don't.

Journal Entry #9 10 Min Yoga Routine Child Pose (hips) Downward Dog Upward Dog Tree Head to Knee Dancer Reclined Butterfly Journal Entry #10 I feel like our school would so benefit from having a program like this, everyone is always so tired and stressed and I believe that that is not a good learning environment that actually will create any good learning. I know from personal experience that their are some days where I wonder why I even come to school because I learn as much as if I had stayed home, that is how tired I am. And also I think that it would be very easy to implement this because classes are way too long, teachers do not need as much time as they are given to get the point across that they do each day
