Lenovo Yoga 2 11 $499.00

Lenovo made a lot of compromises to hit this price poing, and did little to advance the hybrid concept. Still, the Yoga 2 11 has a good price-to-performance ratio.

Lenovos Yoga product line has inspired many an imitator. Dell, HP, Toshiba, and other PC manufacturers have all jumped into the 360-degree-hinge game. No matter the display size, each of these laptop/tablet hybrids has one thing in common with the Yoga 2 11: They all make chunky tablets.

The Yoga 2 11 is a thin-and-light laptop first and foremost. But as you bend its 11.6-inch display back, you can turn it around and stand it up like a tent, puts its keyboard upside down on your desk and use it in stand mode, or fold the display all the way against the back of its keyboard and use it like tablet.

The exceedingly wide bezel around all four sides of the display are a bit of a drag when you're using the Yoga 2 11 in tablet mode.

When I reviewed the Dell Venue 11 Pro, I felt as though Id finally found a tablet that could replace my daily-driver laptop (an 11-inch Asus VivoBook X202). When I used the Dell, I found I almost always left it plugged into its optional keyboard dock.

As I set out to test the Yoga 2 11, I wondered if it would work the other way: As a laptop that could replace my iPad.I thought a machine designed primarily as a laptop would be even more practical. The price is certainly right: Youll find the Yoga 2 11 selling at Best Buy for the attractively low price of $499.

As a laptop, the Yoga 2 11 is thinner and lighter than my Asus laptop, weighing just 2.82 pounds and measuring 0.67 inches thick. The downside to its svelte profile is that its chassis cant accommodate very many ports: It has two USB ports, and only one of them is USB 3.0.

The Yoga 2 11 has a memory-card reader and just two USB ports (only one of which is USB 3.0).

It has a Micro HDMI port, which will require an adapter or a special cable to plug into a display or HDTV. The side-mounted power button, meanwhile, is easy to access in all four operational modes, but I also found it too easy to pressaccidentally when I picked it up.

Lenovo Yoga 2 11 review: A small laptop with tablet potential

Yoga is not just about connecting to yourself, but interacting with your immediate environment.

So, while it may be convenient to practise at your local studio, doing yoga outdoors (weather permitting) is a great way to be at one with Mother Nature.

We asked Gerry Broom, an Ashtanga and Vinyasa Flow specialist who teaches Stand Up Paddleboard Yoga in Brighton, to share her top postures for outdoor yoga.

"Grounding poses which include a lot of standing postures help you to strengthen practice, deepen breath and connect with the earth," she tells HuffPost UK Lifestyle.

"The key is to relax and not hurry," she says. "Try and hold each pose for 30 seconds or 10 deep and unhurried breaths drawing the air all the way to the bottom of the lungs and then taking the same amount of time to exhale. Always finish with a Final Relaxation and then sit for a few moments to take in your surroundings."

Fierce Pose

Standing with the feet together, inhale, bend the knees so the fingers brush the ground and then sweep the arms overhead until they are shoulder width with the hands roughly over the feet. Squeeze the knees together and engage into your core and enjoy the feeling of the ribs floating away from the hips.

Outdoor tip: This pose connects the feet with the earth and strengthens the legs.

We'll wait while you get into position to read this story ... like so.

Hilaria Baldwin is just like us if we were really, really flexible and could make dinner while doing yoga on top of the stove.

The wife of actor Alec Baldwin is a prolific Instagrammer and posts multiple images to her account, many with the hashtags #yogapostureoftheday and #hilariaypd. The yoga instructor and mom to 10-month-old Carmen poses in a variety of places. She's at home, on the street and everywhere else that people who do yoga can make us feel really out of shape like upside down in front of an open fridge.

Here's a sampling of Baldwin at her best. Hilaria ensues!

While we pause "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" to run to the kitchen for more cold pizza, Hilaria is doing this, writing, "This is how I earn my snacks."

This is just gonna fuel the whole barefoot-in-the-kitchen crowd. And there might be a hair in our omelet.

NEW YORK (AP) The downward-facing dog days of summer are here.

Thousands of New Yorkers are marking the first day of summer Saturday by practicing yoga in Times Square.

Row after row of yoga mats are laid out on the street as instructors guide the participants through their poses.

"Find the balance," one instructor urges. "Right leg high."

The yogis stretch and pose as tourists hustle on by, onlookers stop to gape and the horns of passing taxis screech.

The solstice celebration started at 5:30 a.m. and is scheduled to end at 9:15 p.m.

The 12th annual Solstice in Times Square is sponsored by the Times Square Alliance and Athleta, Gap Inc.'s exercise-wear brand.

Golf courses across the country are stepping up their amenities, with plans to add yoga classes, spas, wineries, even an amphitheater so golfers will stay and play after their round of golf.

The number of rounds played on golf courses has fallen by about 10 percent from the peak in 2006, reports Bloomberg. Therefore, properties hope the added amenities will increase their revenue.

According to Bloomberg, Woodmont Country Club near Fort Lauderdale in Florida is adding conference space, stores, restaurants, a spa, and a hotel to its course, to the tune of $100 million. Mountain Ranch in Baltimore plans to pump $800,000 into its property to add a concert amphitheater, and a winery.

At Windy Knoll Golf Club in Ohio, you can opt to travel the green on a hovercraft rather than a golf cart but it will cost you. Renting a hovercraft for 18 holes will set you back $185 per person ($110 per person for nine holes).

What do you think of this trend? Do you think yoga and concerts belong at a golf course? Would you rather rent a hovercraft than a golf cart? Before you answer that, you should know that the hovercrafts in Ohio are kind of hard to control and have caused a few minor accidents, Pet Duffey, the golf courses managing director, told Bloomberg.

I realize this isn't one of Lenovo's pricey ThinkPad products, but Lenovo could have done better by the input devices. The trackpad seemed finicky and overly sensitive out of the box, and the control screen needed to change its settings is buried several levels deep. The keyboard experience is similarly awkward. There is so much flex to the Yoga 2 11's keyboard deck that I felt all the Chiclet keys moving around when I'd press just one.
