Yoga relaxes and focuses you—95 percent of the time. The other five percent of the time? Something tells us these may sound familiar.
1. You Get All Sorts of Not-Namaste When Someone Steals Your Mat Space
"Inhale. Exhale. Inhale. Exhaaaale."
2. You Change Your Outfit Twice Because You Just Don't Feel as Cute in Your Tie-Dye Leggings Today
Athleisure is trendy these days, and the fact that you need to make a fashion statement every time you hit the mat does not escape you.
3. You Redo Your Hair Five Times Before Class So That Your Bun Is Perfectly Messy
You want it to look haphazard but not too raggedy, put together but not like you tried too hard. There is a fine line here.

"Mental note to ask that lady with the adorable neon sports bra where she got it after pract—oh, right: focus."

After all, there is no judgment in yoga.
11. When You Fall Out of a Pose, You Sometimes Pretend You Totally Meant to Come Out of It Early to Stretch
"Ack, silly tight hamstring!"
12. You Laugh Internally (or, Occasionally, a Little Bit Externally) at Some of the More Extreme Yogi Things Your Teacher Has Said
Exhibit A: "Imagine there's an invisible cord connecting your kneecaps to your nipples..."
