It's Only Monday... You Got This!

Monday has such a negative connotation to it. I hate that mid-day Sunday, I start feeling a little down. I hear it's normal, but is it really?

I think I can go deeper in life, relationships, my thoughts, and my interests. Hence... I looked up the history of yoga and some common yoga terms that I should be familiar with. Asanas ("seat") (ah-sahn-ah) : Physical postures of yoga.
