#TTGWEDS Trendy Workout: Yoga

This is one secret that really isn’t too much of a secret anymore. Yoga is the new ‘trendy’ workout, and it actually has been for some time. But don’t limit it to just being ‘trendy’. Yoga has been proving itself to be way more than just that!

There must be a reason people are swearing by it, right? Even celebrities like David Beckham are total obsessing over yoga (now, that’s one sight I don’t think anyone would mind seeing).

Well, maybe that’s because it’s a workout that actually is… relaxing? Or maybe it’s because it’s the one time during the day or week for an hour or so that you can fully be in the present with yourself for a little me, myself and I time.

If you’re looking for some tips before you hit that yoga class, make sure you check out the latest articles written about movement specialist – fitness media expert Dr. Emily Splichal. The articles discuss the benefits of Dr. Emily Splichal’s NABOSO Barefoot Training Mat. Just head over to Fit Collective NYC and Bond Twenty.

Yoga is a ‘no phone’ required workout

There’s no need for you to blast any music through your headphones. No need to keep checking the time as it drags by. No need to be responding to texts, emails or phone calls while getting your workout in.

This workout is all about the present, and being fully in it. You can’t be sending off an email while doing the tree pose, now can you? I mean, maybe you can, but that would be some serious talent.

Happy yoga, happy life

Working out with others is proven to make you well… happy! Surrounding yourself with others in a relaxing environment is a sure way to boost those happy hormones. Yoga is also actually suggested to help benefit those living with depression and anxiety.

If you’re looking for a less traditional, more of a hip-hop yoga class, try checking out Y7 Studio. They have locations in Brooklyn, Manhattan and Los Angeles. You might even run into Zosia Mamet, Nina Agdal or Rebecca Minkoff there.

The new hangover cure

Yeah, it actually is. I know doing just about anything the next day after a night of drinking just doesn’t seem possible for some. But yoga is exactly what you should be doing. It helps detox your body and gets your blood flowing. This will help create balance in your body, which will help you feel a whole lot better after that night out.

Try giving the NABOSO Barefoot Training Mat, Manduka PRO Yoga and Pilates Mat, or Liforme Yoga Mat a try. Just make sure you keep your mat at your house, just in case you aren’t able to make it to that class in the morning.

Just remember, don’t get intimidated if you can’t get that pose down on the first try. Good things take time.
