Lets Meditate

Just what it sounds like, I'm a college student with a love for coffee, and yoga. Get ready for pretty pictures.

That moment when you need glasses but you can’t pay the dude when he’s done shining lights into your eyes.

The whole aesthetic of drinking out of jars sounds cool until you’re doing it because you’re too poor to buy new glasses.

Yoga Snobs

This is a phenomenon that baffles and frustrates me. 

So I’m on doyouyoga.com which is by far my favorite yoga website of all time, there are TONS of free 30 day meditation/yoga series on this site. The articles are generally informative, know what they’re talking about, funny, and the classes are down to earth and nothing so spiritual that you feel like you've walked into someones place of worship instead of your weekly yoga class. Altogether good stuff and I recommend it.

But the articles run on a general theme of yoga and meditation written by professional yogis, addressed to everyday folks like you or me, who (may or may not) has a job, school, kids etc. Where they say stuff like “you know you’re making progress in your practice when you always have yoga clothes in your bag and skip drinks for yoga class.” or “you know that moment where your in (insert complex inversion here) and blah blah” you know, that kind of stuff.

Whatever man, I’m so done with that attitude. I know they mean it in a nice way, I know that, but it feels more like something another pro yogi would understand. I’m not getting up at 5am and I don’t really go running and I do yoga at home because I can’t pay $18 for a yoga class, not even once a week, and I don’t have 90min, I have like... 15 at the end of the day.

Time to get real yogis.

This is the opening post to a hopefully helpful blog. So let me introduce myself. My name is Liz, I’m an underpaid, overworked, undergrad in my senior year of my bachelors. I’m also sort of a yogi, or a yoga person, or whatever. 

The thing is I do yoga, and I meditate, often infrequently and without a lot of money or time, and lets face it, I can’t sequence my poses that well by myself, or I get so caught up in stress that I forget that meditating can actually chill me out. I’m not bendy enough for a lot those super cool poses, and I have a little cellulite around the edges (that I’m working on getting rid of.)

When I look for yoga resources, or I follow another yoga blog, excited for tips, tricks, or resources, I’m often disappointed. They either want me to pay, or the blogs are a bunch of posts about getting up at dawn and sitting on the beach and loving life, or eating totally green or something. I like these things but I can’t do them, I live in a cold place and I like wine... and meat and all that stuff. 

So here’s a blog with no ego stroking for myself, this is a resource blog, I’ll post all the cool links, free videos, meditation stuff, etc. I do all the research, you get all the cool stuff. And maybe some of those cool aesthetic pictures we all like, of coffee and surfing and stuff.

I’m really excited to see where this goes, if it goes nowhere, oh well. 

Later yogis!
