My journey with yoga first began when I was sixteen, when my already badass yogi of a sister gave me a mat & a dvd for my birthday. It's been a challenging journey, & there have been times when I've sort of abandoned the practice, only to run back open-armed every time. 
Kinda like when I try to quit Target. 
I could tell you how yoga has improved my life, & maybe I'll delve more into that soon. But I'm sure what you really wanna hear about is how it can improve your life, because it does have that power. I'm focusing on four benefits, but there are so many reasons to hop on the mat!
I'll be the first to say the old 'have you tried yoga?' question in response to anxiety is.. frustrating to say the least, but decreased anxiety is something yoga can really do. It can modulate stress response symptoms, in turn lessening the effects of anxiety & depression. 
Studies show that an improved immune system is another benefit. While some poses help more than others, any yoga is good because it's working the entire body, inside & out. Blood flow is brought to all organs for their best function.
Yoga can increase your flexibility by stretching out muscles & in turn increasing range of motion and flexibility. You can finally do the splits!
Perhaps one of the most important of all benefits, with regular practice yoga can greatly improve your self confidence and awareness. Your mind-body connection grows stronger & you'll begin to feel yourself improve in big and small ways. Sitting up straighter at your desk, walking lighter, thinking about your body in a more loving manner, letting yourself be. 

OKAY, so these are some of my favorite benefits that I've seen from regular yoga practice, but like I said there's even more. Research! Downward dog!
Do any of you do yoga? Tell me what you love about it.

The Pretty Little Liars yoga game

I'm still a liiitle in shock from the PLL mid-season finale, {Who cares if it was like a month ago? We need time to process} and we don't get answers until December. So what's a girl in the middle of waiting for the end of this horrible hiatus to do? Why, make up a game of course. 

I'm sure you've heard of those tv show workout games. They're like drinking games, only instead of just working out your liver, they work out your whole body. My only form of working out, however, is yoga, so that's why I'm bringing you the Pretty Little Liars Yoga Game!

First things first. If you're new to this whole yoga thing, don't worry. Here's where you can find the lowdown. Watch some videos. Learn some lingo. I'll wait.

Ready? Gear up Netflix and get your namaste face on. *Hold each pose for 3-5 breaths.

Every time:

+ Emily looks annoyed.... Dancer pose

+ The police are suspicious of the girls... Downward dog

+ Hanna cutely says something dumb.... Bridge pose

+ The girls get a message from A.... Plank pose

+ Aria mentions Ezra.... Warrior II

+ Mona {RIP} says something creepy and or cryptic.... Bow pose

+ Someone accuses someone of being A.... Low lunge

+ Spencer is studying.... Pigeon

+ There's a flashback.... Upward dog

+ Someone cries.... Chair pose

P.S. I'm so sorry I did this to you.
