If you've ever tried yoga, of course you know of the benefits: it relaxes you, revitalizes your body and introduces you to muscles you may not have known you have. And, of course, every true believer in yoga will tell you how amazing it is, especially if you want to improve your flexibility and quality of life. So, in pursuit of a better life (and maybe even shedding a few pounds), you decide to drink the yoga Kool-Aid.

And you find, OMG, this is possibly the greatest exercise routine you've ever managed to find. Cardio? That's a thing of the past. You and yoga are best friends now. But what happens when you step off the mat for a little while and take a little personal time away? A few days turns into a few weeks and then a few months and now, you're kind of terrified to get back on the mat. Like, legitimately terrified. You know that, when you do get back on the mat, it isn't going to be easy; it's actually going to be really, REALLY difficult. And you'll be in pain. But you decide to do it, and these are the thoughts that run through your mind.

1.OK, OK ... I'm finally getting back on the mat.

2.Yeah, it's been two months since I've done yoga, and it'll suck but like ... it won't be TOO bad, right?

3. Alright, my mat is all set, I have my favorite yoga attire on — let's do this.

4. OK, a simple beginning sequence with some deep breathing. I can do this!

5. Yup, just focus on your breathing, you can do this, self.

6. So, there's a little sweat forming on my lower back, but we're OK. Everything is OK.

7. Wait ... This pose is MUCH harder than I remember ...

8. OMG ... How have I ever done this pose before?!

9. Okay, back to a vinyasa, I can do that.

10. Right? I CAN DO THAT, RIGHT?

11.Oh my god, my arms are telling me that I CAN NOT do that.

12. OK, another beginning sequence. Simple, straightforward stuff right here.

13. OH GOD, NOT THIS POSE AGAIN.

14. OW

15. OW OW OW, OKAY, NOPE, WE'RE DONE WITH THAT!

16. You want me to do, WHAT?!

17. I honestly do not understand how the human body can bend that way.

18. Why did I even think this was a good idea?

19. Seriously, I'm actually wondering how I got here.

20.Whatever ... I'm gonna go eat some fries.
