10 Ways to stay Yogi this Christmas
While yoga makes us want to set a zen example to our friends and families, all the revelries that accompany Christmas can make it difficult for us to remember it all. Not to mention grandma's Christmas spread that easily encourages us to throw moderation straight out of the window, if you get our drift. Here are 10 ways to stay (or at least convince everyone that you are) yogi during the festive period. 1. Say Namaste often (i.e. after "Merry Christmas"). Alternatively here are some things you can say to confirm your yoginess. 2. Unless you can can convince your whole tribe to go with tofurkey (in which case you are better yogis than us), explain that you are only eating the turkey because you "don't want its death to be in vain. Namaste". [caption id="attachment_20092" align="alignnone" width="420"]

Make your super green vegan hangover cure and make sure everyone drinks it at breakfast (then go back to bed). http://instagram.com/p/w37yt5EeQv/?modal=true 4. Sit on the floor eating your Christmas dinner or if your dad insists that you eat at the dinner table, at least do it in lotus. [caption id="attachment_20104" align="alignnone" width="600"]

Adjust Santa because "his Tadasana is looking a little off". [caption id="attachment_20090" align="alignnone" width="600"]

Christmas themed yoga pants. Obvs. http://instagram.com/p/wyOsZMsw3f/?modal=true 9. Disguise your wheezing from eating too much as Ujayi breath. 10. Make Santa raw vegan oatmeal cookies and non-dairy milk (and come down and gorge the lot when everyone's asleep). [caption id="attachment_20064" align="alignnone" width="600"]
