Relaxing Waves

For my new experience I took a yoga class.  I was unsure about how I was going to like it, especially after trying the visual relaxation techniques tried in class.  I was extremely surprised how much I enjoyed myself.  I love the idea of strengthening my body without lifting heavy weights.  I enjoyed it so much that I went back two more times already.  When thinking about how I wanted to express myself after the experience, I realized that while I was in class I was constantly focused on my breath.  It reminded me of the waves how they always go in toward the sand and out into the sea.  I felt the need to draw waves, but not beach waves, just wavy lines, in all colors to show the many types of breathes we take.  Some are dark and deep, steady and focused, shallow and breathy.  the colors represented all the ways that I breathe.  It seems simple, but it is very impactful for me.  I colored in some of the lines with various colors to give it a deeper, more 3D look.
