Yoga Rave: Three Cheers for the Mighty Kleenex* Box

The lowly Kleenex box is the unsung hero of yoga. Countless times, I've attempted to follow my yoga teacher's instructions to breathe deeply only to be stopped in my Path to Enlightenment by freakin' allergies! And that little exercise where you plug up one nostril and breathe through the other, just forget it. Many times, I've walked into yoga with a clear nose only to have the stoppage develop halfway through my practice. Many would say that yoga is doing its job by dredging up the toxins, but you need the kleenex to finish the job and clear them out.

But that's when the kleenex saves the day! Not to mention a very attentive yoga instructor, who upon seeing my struggle to breathe delivers the breath-saving tissue unto me!

Sometimes, it's the most insignificant things that make the biggest difference (I just hit my yoga truism quota for the week).

Thank you, little tissue.





* Kleenex is a brand name, which we do not specifically endorse. I just don't like the sound of the word "facial tissue."
