6 Legit Yoga Routines College Students Can Do In The Comfort Of Their Dorm Room

Exercise is important, but depending on weather conditions and where you're located, it can be difficult to get outside to work out.

Dorm rooms don't offer a lot of space for exercise equipment either, which is why yoga has become so popular among college students. You don't need a lot of space to do most yoga poses, and you can do them in the comfort of your dorm.

If you're short on space, here are some yoga routines that you can do in your dorm room.

1. "Travel Yoga"

You won't always have room to lay out a yoga mat in your dorm room, especially if you've got a messy roommate. You don't need a yoga mat for this routine though.

These poses don't even need to be a full routine. They're perfect if you only have a couple of minutes to stretch before you have to run to class. These can also be great if you're traveling and don't have anywhere that you can safely or politely set up a yoga mat while you're on the move.

2. "30-Minute Workout  for Small Spaces"

If you want a comprehensive workout but don't have a ton of room, this is a great option for you. This workout has warmups, a full body workout and cooldowns to help you fit your entire workout into 30 minutes.

This is ideal if you've got a full schedule between work, school and keeping up with your social life, but still want to stay healthy during your college career.

3. "10-Minute Yoga for Small Spaces and Travel"

If you don't have enough space to lay out a yoga mat and stretch out like you need to in the previous workout, this can be a great option. We all get tensed and stressed when we're traveling or trying to keep up with a heavy class load.

This quick routine can be done in 10 minutes, with very little space, and can help you release some of that tension and stress that you carry in your neck, shoulders and back.

4. "Yoga for Small Spaces — Heart Pumping Sequence"

If you're not into jumping jacks and high knees, getting your heart pumping in a tiny dorm can be a challenge.

This quick nine-pose sequence can get your heart rate up and takes almost no space — if you've got enough room to lay out a yoga mat, you've got enough room to do this yoga routine.

It's not a hard routine, but it requires enough effort to get your blood pumping. It's also easy to customize if you're not as fit as you would like to be.

5. "18-Minute Compact Yoga Flow for Small Spaces"

Practicing yoga doesn't have to take all day. This fantastic little routine can be done anywhere that you have enough room to lay out a yoga mat — as long as the room is at least as tall as you are.

Don't try to do this routine in Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs! This routine will take you through all the basics of the Sun Salutation to wake up you and help you get energized for the day ahead.

6. "Yoga for Small Spaces"

You might be saying, "Hey, I don't even have enough room on my floor to lay out a yoga mat. How can I do these routines?"

Don't worry, you're in luck! This routine is designed to be done on a bed — no floor or yoga mat needed! There are plenty of other yoga-in-bed routines on YouTube too, if this one doesn't appeal to you.

If you've got a bed, you've got somewhere that you can do yoga!

Small spaces aren't normally conducive to exercise, but these yoga routines do a good job at filling the gap so that you can stay healthy and fit while you're living in a dorm.

Deciding on a goal can be hard, unsure of what to change for this new year. A new goal for myself is to be happier and take care of myself more. I am a very driven person; so driven that I commit to a million and ten things.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.
