Why Becoming a Yoga Nut Is One of the Best Things I've Ever Done
When did my yoga journey/addiction start? I'll set the scene: Christmas holidays, 2013. Bored, I was browsing magazines on my iPad when my eyes fell upon an edition of a yoga publication. The yogi on the cover was demonstrating a forearm stand variation (pinchamayurasana) and reminded me of my childhood fascination with contortionists. I thought, "I want to do that." Three words on the magazine's cover stood out to me: strength, balance, flexibility. Always open to new experiences, I resolved to give yoga a go.

Why The New 'Lord Of The Rings' TV Show Should Be Less Like The Movies, And More Like 'Game Of Thrones'
Amazon has announced that it's bought the rights to Lord of the Rings and plans to adapt Tolkien's trilogy into a TV series. The response has been a bit mixed, though, some fans are excited by the prospect, while others are adamant that Peter Jackson's epic three movies are definitive and beyond improvement.

Is Will's Character Dynamic A Metaphor For The Upside Down In 'Stranger Things'?
If you thought Netflix's Stranger Things couldn't get any bigger, Season 2 just proved you wrong. Critically acclaimed and loved by fans, it arguably topped Season 1 and established itself as one of the best shows of 2017. Among the show's many stand-out qualities was the Duffer Brothers' fearless approach to refreshing the structure of Stranger Things. If we look deeper into this, there's more going on than simply reinventing the wheel. The Duffer Brothers effectively created a metaphor for the Upside Down when they inverted the Season 1 format for Will's character. By looking at this interlocking of concept and structure, we can better understand Will's character development, as well as gain insight as to what Stranger Things Season 3 might look like.

Has The Night King Been Waiting For A Dragon? 3 Things This Would Mean For 'Game Of Thrones'
WARNING: Game of Thrones spoilers to follow! Game of Thrones Season 7 proved to be an epic one, with some fans claiming that several of the episodes are the best in the show's history. At the end of the season finale, the Night King and his army of the dead broke through the Wall with the aid of Viserion and advanced into Westeros. There are plenty of theories surrounding the White Walkers, but the use of the dragon for destroying the Wall adds a lot of weight to the idea that the Night King might have actually foreseen Daenerys' dragon attack in Episode 6. If true, this theory could really shake up what we know about this character — and the future of Game of Thrones.

Arya Stark has already fulfilled many of our Game of Thrones reunion wishes. In Season 7, Episode 2 we were treated to that eagerly anticipated meeting with Nymeria, as well as a (arguably more satisfying) catch up with Hot Pie.
