Learning Challenge, Pre-Finals Prep

I used the learning from by the HEART challenge. I really enjoyed reading the article, 6 Yoga Exercises you Won't de Embarrassed to do at Work, because I find myself often getting so tight and uncomfortable from sitting at my desk everyday. The exercises consist of shoulder rolls, open chest stretch, neck stretch, chair twist, reverse prayer pose, and twisted arms.

All I know is I've been a butterfly and a caterpillar within the last few hours, I'm quite confused." said the Caterpillar. "What do YOU mean!" said Alice. "You see, I can't explain my transformations, I am just as confused as you are," said the Caterpillar. " I don't get it." Alice replied. "I just can't explain it. I've been different sizes and animals within the last few hours. That's all I can say," explained the Caterpillar. “It just can’t be that confusing,” said Alice   “Well, I guess you have not experienced anything like this!
