Thoughts Every Yogi Has At Their First Spinning Class

Some girls do sports, some girls do spinning and some girls do yoga. Most, if not all of the times, these girls cannot all be one. Even if we try to be a triple threat, sometimes we are just not meant to be good at everything.

All workouts have something that make them special and that makes them the right fit for a particular type of person, and that is fine.

However, it is also good to step out of one's comfort zone every once in a while and experience something new; we never know if we'll find our new hidden passion.

1. This is going to be fun. Finally breaking out of the routine and getting my cardio on.

2. Everyone is really serious. Why isn't everyone relaxed and excited? I'm getting a little intimidated...

3. Oh hey! There's the instructor, she looks nice.... Wow she has awesome legs. She really looks likes she's strutting her way into this class.

*Mental note* hashtag leg goals

4. Okkkkk instructor... You're going to have to moderate your tone with me, young lady!

5. Why is this girl yelling at me?!!!!


6. Stop telling me what to do! What if my body isn't ready for a climb up Mt. Everest right now!?


7. Did I just hear her say that we just finished the WARM UP?! Is she crazy? That was like ten songs of climbing up and down... She must be confused. Plus, we have not even focused on our breathing yet.

8. Respect my body's needs! No more imaginary climbs! I'm not even in my yogi breath yet!!!



9. If that was the warm up, I can't imagine the actual class... The intimidation is coming back.

10. *Catches a glimpse of self in mirror* Oh man, my butt is going to look awesome tomorrow. Whatever, I can do this. I'll focus on my breath the next class.

11. Phew finally, the climb is done.

12. I can't wait for savasna after this.

13. Ok, this instructor really needs to calm down. Her throat is really going to hurt her tomorrow. I said I was giving it my all, chill.

14. I. Can't. Do. This. Anymore. There will never be a "next time." I'm a yoga girl, vegan instagams and meditation kind of girl. I can't do this anymore.

15. I'm really going to need a yoga class after this.

16. THREE MORE SONGS LEFT. ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!

17. Wait... It can't be over. We haven't done savasna yet!!!

18. My muscles are NOT relaxed. My body is disrupted and I haven't even neutralized my breath yet!

19. I'm definitely going to feel this tomorrow.

20. So... When's the next class?

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
