Day 7
We started off the day by doing Hatha yoga with Dr. Reese which incorporated slow-paced poses stretching different parts of your body. Initially, we stood up with a block between our hands applying pressure to the block and moving side to side. Then we placed the block between our thighs and repeated going side to side. After that, we sat down and stretched our legs and torso. Unfortunately, Dr. Reese had to leave earlier so then we moved on to breathing techniques with Dr. Shivani. 
We started off by doing alternate breathing in which we hold one side of the nose closed with your thumb and your index and middle finger on your forehead. Then you interchange it by inhaling through one side of the nostril and then exhaling through the other nostril. Then we did the Om breath in which we breathe in and breathe out with an A, U, OM sound by doing this it connects us with our chakras. It takes 2 minutes long and it is very important to stay focused.
Then we went on an outing to the Buddist Temple and learned about the culture and lifestyle that the Buddist people follow. After that we went to Thai Bistro and ordered Thai food which was really good and tasty.
