Keefer let out a sigh of relief. He hadn't realized until now that he had been holding his breath. He consciously relaxed himself in preparation for the next position.

He attempted the pose, though not in the same order as the demonstration. He brought his foot up first, resting it on the top of his knee and using outreached arms for balance. Once he was stable, he slowly brought his hands together. It reminded him of someone praying.
Last one. Relax, take steady breaths. Quote:

Now they were getting into ethics. This is why they needed to be doing relaxation poses, not hard poses. He raised his hands, still pressed together, wobbling dangerously in the process. "
Dark implies evil, the express desire to hurt someone and perhaps even enjoy it. I think that all of us have this feeling at some point in our lives when we let our emotions get the best of us."
Like Laura in the corridor earlier that day...
"
At times like that, some of us fall prey to the desire for revenge, to make the other person feel our pain. It's our form of 'justice,' though our rationale at such times is perhaps not the best. Therefore, I think the use of a curse does not implicate someone as a Dark wizard or witch automatically. We all make mistakes. However, repeated use of curses, hexes, and jinxes is grounds for labeling someone Dark, in my book."
