 | This final run up to the holidays can be stressful for many reasons: travel, social obligations, last minute shopping, budgetary shortfalls, and difficult family dynamics are just a few potential stressors. Basic stretching and breathing exercises are great ways to relax yourself so you can enjoy the holiday. |

5 Ways Yoga Can Help You Beat Holiday Stress
In addition to these five techniques, remember to allow yourself the time to keep up your regular yoga and exercise routines, even when things get hectic.
| Airports With Yoga Rooms
If you're traveling this holiday, you might just find yourself able to do a little yoga at the airport. At least four U.S. airports now have designated rooms for yoga. See if any of them are in your travel plans.
| Take Your Practice With You When You Travel
Plan ahead so that you can find yoga classes or do a self-guided practice when you're away from home.
| Pose of the Week: Eight Angle Pose - Astavakrasana
 I'm going to buck the trend here a little bit. In the winter, especially around the holidays, I always hear a lot about how you should do poses that are super grounding, like a lot of standing poses. And I'm all for that if you are feeling fidgety or about to fly off the handle. But I'm feeling like I've done so much grounding lately that I'm about to sink into the earth. I'm craving postures that make me feel light and strong. Like astavakrasana. If that seems a little too crazy, try elephant's trunk as a point of entry.
