I was never into yoga before, but thanks to free classes offered at my school's fitness center, I'm starting to dabble. It's a relaxing way to exercise, and I enjoy it, but it is in no way easy. Anyone who's tried yoga before will agree.

1. Getting ready makes you feel like a BOSS.

2. It's your first time, so you have to drag a friend along...

3. When you get there, you try to get your mat positioned juuuust right...

4. Maybe you're a little self-conscious...

5. But before you can really worry, you're in your first pose!

6. When the instructor tells you to close your eyes but you have to peek to make sure you're doing the right thing.

7. It starts off slow, just stretching and taking some deep breaths...

8. It's hard to get yourself to relax.

9. But somehow, you do it...

9. And then gets just a little more difficult.

10. You're a little off balance...

11. You might not be able to stretch or bend as much as you're supposed to.

All aboard the struggle bus!

12. Soon, the instructor starts whipping out some serious moves.

And you're like, "How is is possible for anyone to be this flexible?!"

13. You do your best to follow along...

14. But you just can't seem to get yourself into the position you want to be in.

15. When you finally master a pose, you feel AWESOME.

16. And before you know it, you've successfully survived yoga class.

17. You're a little sore, but you feel good!

18. Except when you hear other people talking about how easy it was.

19. But you did enjoy the class, even if it was hard. And you know the only way for it to get easier is to keep going back!
