As I started packing up my life to head back to school, I came across a Facebook post announcing the opening of a new yoga studio in Oxford. Being a yoga fanatic for the past five years, I was ecstatic to hear that I could finally get my yoga fix while at school. Staying on top of your schoolwork, having a social life, and staying healthy is no easy feat; this is where my love for yoga comes in.
Dedicating one solid hour to a yoga class means one hour where I don’t have to stress. I can walk into the studio, plop down my mat and unwind, even if it’s just for 60 minutes. It helps A TON. I’m pretty tightly wound at times; therefore, practicing yoga is basically my safe haven.
