brightrosefoxDear Self,
Remember this. Remember. To. Breathe. Properly. Seriously.
BREATHE.

Also, Note To Friends:
Even though I now refer to "Yoga Poses" as "Meditative Stretching Exercises" because that's what yoga is (See: http://brightrosefox.livejournal.com/1525602.html), I want people to recommend yoga poses because, well, that's the word, and those poses are the names. In fact, I recently began doing a specific kind of side stretch, but I have no idea what yoga calls it. It's the one where I have both hands above my head, holding a ball of energy. Like this, but standing, and when I sit it's with my legs in a simpler pose:

I mean, I love doing basic, simple yoga, but too many people I know still believe that it's thousands of years old, and I try not to facepalm. See, that's why I side-eye and shrug at some of the "Yogier Than Thou" people who insist that yoga is five centuries old. I think they mistake it for Ayurveda, maybe.
Now, I have a meditative side stretch pose to do, whatever the hell it's called. :) <3
