We all know how crazy the school semester gets, especially around exam season where we automatically grab those chocolate covered peanut M&M’s and binge-watch Netflix to try to settle our minds. Now although snacking on junk foods and binge watching our favorite tv shows are ways to distract ourselves, it is important to practice something that helps our mental health and physical health at the same time.
Yoga has been practiced for centuries and it is a great way to let go and find your center again. When you find yourself getting too wound up and in a funk during exam season, simply practice these 5 simple yoga poses! They’re both fun and will make you feel grounded and stress-free again. When practicing these poses, be mindful of your breathing and keep your thoughts focused on the position you are practicing. Happy Yoga!!!
