  • I’ll copy my response to the other person who was also confused by the reference:

    In America, there’s a very popular car windshield decal sticker that people put on that says “Salt Life.” It specifically just means someone visited a popular beach vacation spot called Myrtle Beach, SC. The people who put it on tend to being almost exclusively sporty douchebags and suburban moms.

    That’s about it.

    Edit: changed NC to SC




  • It worked for me better than meditation, but everyone is different. If you do go for it, just make sure that the videos are explicitly marked as for beginners because they can end up trying some intense or weird poses you’re not ready for otherwise. Personally I liked ‘Yoga with Kassandra’ when I was learning, but everyone’s body is different so shop around a bit of she doesn’t vibe with you.

    If you’re not used to Yoga lingo:

    • Vinyasa(sometimes called by the more general term, Hatha) Yoga is normally what people think of when they think of yoga. It features reasonably quick pose transitions and usually a variety of poses that hit most of your body.
    • Yin Yoga is a lot slower and more meditative. It usually involves passively holding poses for 3-5minutes each and is meant to improve flexibility and joint health. The stretches are longer but can be as intense as you want them to be.
    • Most others types of yoga are quite a bit more specialized or trendy and you should probably stay away from until you’re sure it’s something you like and want to do.
