I have become a yogi

It is official. I have fallen in love with the art of Yoga.

I absolutely love it and I HAVE COMPILED A LIST OF WHY YOGA IS AMAZING AND YOU SHOULD DO IT

Wow. I've been obsessed with lists lately.

Why Yoga Rocks

1. Yoga pants are amazing

Okay I know this is probably one of the whitest things I could say, but it's true. There're cheap, comfortable, and you can find a ton of different styles that suit you.

2. Yoga is an amazing stress reliever

The basis of yoga quite literally IS stress relief. Believe me, in the midst of High School, it's easy to let the stress consume you. But doing some downward dogs and breathing exercises has been proven to reduce that stress and help you clear your mind.

3. It's cheap

Okay, there are plenty counter examples to this like yoga classes and mats, but if you do it my way, the simple, in the empty space in my room with YouTube videos, It costs me nothing. If you want to do yoga classes be my guest, but I find you get the same experience without having to pay a fortune.

4. Flexibility

Okay, I am the most inflexible girl alive, and I have found Yoga has actually helped with that. It's amazing!  Study shows you can improve your flexibility by 35% in just 8 weeks of doing yoga regularly

5. It's fun!

I hate running more than anything. If there is a way to stay fit and avoid running at all costs, sign me up, and that's what yoga is. It detoxes your body, and it's really fun! Get a group of friends and do it together for even more fun!

Okay realizing now these are pretty well-known facts about Yoga, but I felt like writing, so here you go..

Here are some of my favorite yoga videos on YouTube. They aren't hard, and are perfect for beginners.

So there is my little yoga rant. Go ahead and try it if you have the chance! I've become a yogi, so there's quite a good chance you might too!


Thanks!
