25 Thoughts Everyone Has During Vinyasa Yoga
besthealthmag.ca

Yoga: A practice involving body, mind, and spirit that began around the 5th of 6th centuries BCE. What began as a group of physical, mental, and spiritual practices/disciplines originating in ancient India, has evolved into one of the latest exercise trends of the 21st century. I personally find myself attending classes that incorporate meditation and long, slow, deep stretches.

However, most people think of Vinyasa yoga when they want to use it as a form of physical, mental, and spiritual exercise. That being said, here are 25 thoughts everyone has when attending their first, second, or maybe even tenth Vinyasa class.

1. "Oh no! This class is packed. There are no more spots in the back but I don't want to be by the instructor or in anyone's way! This is going to be so embarrassing..."

2. "Why is everyone breathing so loud? Wait, where does my leg go?"

3. "What side are we supposed to be doing?"

4. "What if I just stay in child's pose the whole time..."

5. "Oooo yes. This is nice. Why haven't I done this before?"

6. "I'm going to be so in shape. Y'all better watch out. I am a true yogi."

7. "My yoga breath is so solid I am so zen right now."

8. "Cool, we're standing up now. Forward folding feels so great on my back wow!"

9. "Alright we're going a little fast here between the folding and standing I'm starting to get light-headed."

10. "Yaassss I am LOVING this mini backbend yoga Gods and Goddesses GIVE ME ENERGY!!"

11. "Balance poses? No problem. I can transform into a statue before your very eyes."

12. "Alright-- why is balancing on one leg so hard, can we go back to the folding?"

13. "I am a strong and sexy warrior and everyone should fear me."

14. "My leg is literally about to rip in half PLEASE LET'S BE DONE."


15. "Please don't fart. Please don't fart. Please don't fart"

16. "Oh, thank goodness we're back to floor stuff I can breathe again."

17. "Wait how am I supposed to breathe when I'm twisted this way."

18. "Okay I'm back up and I am sweating. Is it hot in here? Is anyone else hot?"

19. "Still can't breathe."

20. "Yay I get to lay down now."

21. "I am the happiest baby! Happy baby pose!!"

22. "This twist is life."

23. "Ahh yes turn those lights down. I am in love with this."

24. "I cannot believe how good I feel I am awesome."

25. "Namaste y'all. See you next week."

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
