Ashtanga yoga: Definition of Rest Day.. |
| Posted: 31 Mar 2020 12:11 PM PDT Hello all! This is my very first Reddit post & Im excited it's in the Ashtanga section! :D I am new to Ashtanga but I fell in love instantly and I can already tell this will be a long relationship. However, as newbie I am prone to the soreness ("Pain good") which leads me to the question of rest days. I know traditionally this is to be practiced 6 days a week. I know for sure I am no where near that level, today marks my first third day in a row! But as for rest days, does that mean do zero yoga & lay around & recover? Or does doing a non-ashtanga practice not count as a rest day, i.e. a Flow class? I know it may be a silly question but as a noob, I can see it both ways. Option one means giving your muscles time to recover from all the intense stretching & holding. But option 2 sounds like some light stretching & holding might help. Either way, any advice is much appreciated. Happy Quarantine, Everybody! :D [link] [comments] |
| Something cracked during kurmasana and I have no idea what it was Posted: 31 Mar 2020 07:43 AM PDT Hey everyone! I suspect that I injured myself somehow doing kurmasana, but I dont feel any pain untul I actually get into certain poses. While doing the pose I heard something crack and it sounded/felt like it came from the top of femur (probably wrong but that's what it felt like). I am quite flexible and have been able to straighten my legs and press my chest against the floor for months, so I am struggling to understand what happened because since then I cannot straighten my legs in the pose, or do other poses like trikonasana and upavista konasana without pain shooting up my right leg. Any advice or explanation would be great! [link] [comments] |
