As I peruse the pages of different holiday issues of my preferred fitness/womens magazines I notice many posts about the benefits of practicing yoga at this stressful time of year. At the risk of seeming like a cardio snob, if I have 30 minutes a day (if I’m lucky) and i need to enter an unique outfit in about a month and a half. I am not investing that 30 minutes taking cleansing breaths and stretching.
