6 Tips to Make Yoga Less Boring

Yoga is Boring Because You are Hungry

1. Yoga is boring simply because you  would rather be doing something else , such as eating . Guilty ! My mind is often wandering off during yoga because I am thinking of a bacon double cheeseburger , French fries , and a coke. It’s best you prepare a healthy meal before your yoga session. There is nothing cute about your stomach growling mid downward facing dog. Don’t eat too much the bubble guts are not  sessy either .Use these helpful tools to prepare light and healthy dishes. Get your meal prep on sis!

Yoga is Boring Because of Unpleasing Sounds

2. Typically the music you hear in yoga classes is some tired elevator music. Be responsible for the sounds that bring you peace and serenity. Grab some discreet wireless Bluetooth earbuds and play your favorite soothing music. I like the smooth and sultry sounds of Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, and Sade. Perhaps you don’t care for music maybe audiobooks can assist you in getting into a meditative state. Listen to the sounds that are relaxing to you.

           

Yoga is Boring Because of Fashion

3. How can you tap into your inner warrior if you don’t have the appropriate workout gear? Make sure you are killing those yoga poses in style. There is just something about a cute co-ord set that makes a girl feel good about working out. Of course, Yoga pants bring all the boys to the yard. You can’t forget the adorable toesie yoga socks. Check out some fly and affordable fitness apparel. 

      

Yoga is Boring Because Lack of Confidence

4. Feeling inadequate can be a source of stress during any workout. Lack of confidence in skill level, coordination, the experience would make anyone want to cancel their yoga studio membership. No worries! The proper equipment can alleviate some of that fear. Practice some of the poses before going full throttle into an advanced yoga class.

Yoga is Boring Because the Vibe is Off

5. Before signing up for yoga classes try to peep out the scene. Make sure the environment aligns with your vibe. For my ladies that workout at home you have the opportunity to create the ambiance. Put up some wall decor, Light some candles, burn some incense!  Issa whole vibe! Check out these items to get you in the mood for yoga.

      

Yoga is Boring Because Misery Loves Company

6. Maybe the buddy system approach works better for you. “It ain’t no fun if the homie can’t have none. “ Teheheheee! Make sure you grab your most positive friend to attack this task. Energy vampires are not needed in this space. Remind your friend of all the wonderful benefits of yoga. If that doesn’t work convince them this is how you get Megan Thee Stallion knees.
