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."

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
