Yes, hostels can be a very cheap and inexpensive way to travel, but don't' be afraid to roll your sleeping bag out on a beach. It may save you $15 a day. In some countries that little extra cash in your pocket can prolong your travels by weeks. By all means, stay in as many hostels as you want. They are full of kids your same age with the same agenda in mind: see the world. For the most part they are very cheap and a good way to save money. I've stayed in many hostels and have loved every minute of it. But don't only set your sights at hostels when trying to save some extra cash. Many people take the route of couch surfing. If you've never heard of it, it's worth checking out. Basically in a nut shell you sign up on a Web site, you figure out where you are going and you can meet people online that are willing to let you sleep on their couch... FOR FREE! Apparently in Europe this is very common. You can meet up with the person first and decide if you (trust them) want to sleep on their couch. I have friends that have done this and they Monday, Feb. 1, Tuesday, Feb. 2 Wednesday, Feb.-3 - Morningstar Native American Dancers: Orem Public Library, free admission, 7 p.m. - Hilary Demske Piano Recital: JAagan Theater. 7: 30 p.m. UVU Faculty Woodwind Quarlel Rceilal: Ra£an Theater, 7:30 p.m. Movie night: "The Devil wears Prada," Ballroom, Free admission. -"College Night": - Fashion Show: • Springville Museum of O u t e r Stage, 12 p.m. Art, free admission. 7 -"The Belle of p.m. Amhersl": Covev - Cafe Nighls: Center Center for the Arts, Si age. free admission.

"A studio offers a different atmosphere and mentality. The training gives individuals much more experience." UVU yoga instructor Russell Lee has been attending classes at It's Yoga for around seven years and now teaches there every Saturday at 8:30 a.m. "I talked to Amy about this workshop a while ago and after the earthquake they decided to raise donation funds,'* bee said. "The classes were really wellattended." Lee also recommends attending the UVU yoga club which is held every Wednesday at 8 p.m. in PE 225, which he considers a free opportunity to experience quality yoga. "Irecommend yoga studios because the more yoga you do the better you'll feel and the better you'll be at yoga," Lee said.
