6 Legit Yoga Routines College Students Can Do In The Comfort Of Their Dorm Room

Exercise is important, but depending on weather conditions and where you're located, it can be difficult to get outside to work out.

Dorm rooms don't offer a lot of space for exercise equipment either, which is why yoga has become so popular among college students. You don't need a lot of space to do most yoga poses, and you can do them in the comfort of your dorm.

If you're short on space, here are some yoga routines that you can do in your dorm room.

1. "Travel Yoga"

You won't always have room to lay out a yoga mat in your dorm room, especially if you've got a messy roommate. You don't need a yoga mat for this routine though.

These poses don't even need to be a full routine. They're perfect if you only have a couple of minutes to stretch before you have to run to class. These can also be great if you're traveling and don't have anywhere that you can safely or politely set up a yoga mat while you're on the move.

2. "30-Minute Workout  for Small Spaces"

If you want a comprehensive workout but don't have a ton of room, this is a great option for you. This workout has warmups, a full body workout and cooldowns to help you fit your entire workout into 30 minutes.

This is ideal if you've got a full schedule between work, school and keeping up with your social life, but still want to stay healthy during your college career.

3. "10-Minute Yoga for Small Spaces and Travel"

If you don't have enough space to lay out a yoga mat and stretch out like you need to in the previous workout, this can be a great option. We all get tensed and stressed when we're traveling or trying to keep up with a heavy class load.

This quick routine can be done in 10 minutes, with very little space, and can help you release some of that tension and stress that you carry in your neck, shoulders and back.

4. "Yoga for Small Spaces — Heart Pumping Sequence"

If you're not into jumping jacks and high knees, getting your heart pumping in a tiny dorm can be a challenge.

This quick nine-pose sequence can get your heart rate up and takes almost no space — if you've got enough room to lay out a yoga mat, you've got enough room to do this yoga routine.

It's not a hard routine, but it requires enough effort to get your blood pumping. It's also easy to customize if you're not as fit as you would like to be.

5. "18-Minute Compact Yoga Flow for Small Spaces"

Practicing yoga doesn't have to take all day. This fantastic little routine can be done anywhere that you have enough room to lay out a yoga mat — as long as the room is at least as tall as you are.

Don't try to do this routine in Harry Potter's cupboard under the stairs! This routine will take you through all the basics of the Sun Salutation to wake up you and help you get energized for the day ahead.

6. "Yoga for Small Spaces"

You might be saying, "Hey, I don't even have enough room on my floor to lay out a yoga mat. How can I do these routines?"

Don't worry, you're in luck! This routine is designed to be done on a bed — no floor or yoga mat needed! There are plenty of other yoga-in-bed routines on YouTube too, if this one doesn't appeal to you.

If you've got a bed, you've got somewhere that you can do yoga!

Small spaces aren't normally conducive to exercise, but these yoga routines do a good job at filling the gap so that you can stay healthy and fit while you're living in a dorm.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
