Every Yogi's Thoughts During Class

Yoga is an amazing practice. It cultivates mindfulness, focus and peace. Over the last few years, the yoga movement has grown exponentially in popularity. While yoga is this noble, soulful practice, that doesn't mean that our minds don't wander when we're on our mats. Here are 12 thoughts that every yogi has during their yoga practice.

1. "Probably shouldn't have eaten that."

Since a large portion of yoga poses are inverted, it's best to do on a fairly empty stomach.

2. "I am absolutely doing the modification."

Teacher: "You can either remain in Warrior II or transition over into advanced bird of paradise."

You: "I'm gonna sit this one out."

3. "How is this so hard?"

It looks so delicate, yet it burns every muscle in your body.

4. "Downward dog is NOT a resting position."

Sometimes the teacher invites you to rest in downward dog. It's not a resting position if your shoulders are burning.

5. "Thank goodness, child's pose."

One of the most relaxing poses. Caution though: once you're in that pose, you won't want to come out.

6. "What is that noise?"

There's always at least one person who alerts everyone to their breathing patterns with their impressively loud inhales and exhales.

7. "I'm about to slip right off this mat."

The sweat gets real.

8. "How many more sun salutations?"

"Exhale. Inhale. Half-way lift. Exhale. Rise up..." Sometimes the rhythm is nice, other times you just want to shake it up.

9. "I probably should have grabbed a block."

Some days your hammies are flexible, some days... not so much.

10. "Wow, that person is amazing."

As much as you're supposed to keep an internal focus, it's so hard not to gawk at some people's strength and flexibility.

11. "I can't wait to eat after this."

Even yogis have to fuel their bodies.

12. "FINALLY. Savasana."

Nothing to excite a yogi more than corpse pose.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.
