Wikidive

Likely discovered by some knowledge-addicted procrastinator, “wikidiving” is an activity where one clicks through links in an online Wikipedia page, taking the user from one related page to the next. Before you know it, you’ll end up on a page far, far afield of your original search. Who knows what fun facts await?

Viparita Karani

Sometimes all it takes to successfully relax is a new perspective. Viparita Karani, aka Legs-Up-the-Wall, is a pose practiced in yoga where one puts their back on the floor, kicks their legs up a wall, and closes their eyes. The position, in addition to restoring your correct posture, is naturally relaxing. It reduces blood pressure, stimulates blood circulation, relieves swelling in the lower body, and calms symptoms of anxiety. Visit www.yogajournal.com/poses/legs-up-the-wall-pose for instructions.
