Relaxing

Alice：Wow, I love relaxing after a long day of work.

Sophie：Me too! How do you like to relax?

Alice：I like to practice yoga.

Sophie：You do yoga? That’s cool!

Alice：Yeah, I have a really nice instructor.

Sophie：Do you know a lot of different moves?

Alice：Yeah, they feel really good, mentally and physically.

Sophie：I bet. I like to meditate.

Alice：Oh really? How do you meditate?

Sophie：light candles and close my eyes.

Alice：That sounds really peaceful.

Sophie：It sure is. It’s a great way to escape from stress.

Alice：Life can be pretty stressful.

Sophie：I agree. Everything is more fast-paced in recent years.

Alice：Yeah, that’s why it’s nice to relax yourself.

Sophie：Doing physical exercises like yoga really relaxes the mind, too.

Alice：It does. The mind and body are connected in everything.

Sophie：When I feel good physically, I tend to be in a better mood.

Alice：Me too! I hate getting stressed out.

Sophie：Same here. I get really tired and my body aches.

Alice：I think I want to go do some relaxing right now.

Sophie：Cool, I’ll come with you!
