Poses to open chest and increase back flexibility with bad knees? Posted: 16 May 2020 08:12 PM PDT I'm just getting started doing yoga and am particularly looking to increase the flexibility of my back and fix my rounded shoulders (I dream of being able to do a backbend someday), but in the routines I've done so far, the poses used to achieve those goals have made my knees sore (e.g. hero pose, camel pose, and a few others that I'm having a hard time remembering the names of). Pretty sure I have patellofemoral pain syndrome from years of skiing. Does anyone have advice on what poses I could work on that won't strain my knees but would help me achieve my goals? submitted by /u/skigirl22 [link] [comments]

Crow pose question Posted: 16 May 2020 03:48 PM PDT I'm pretty new to yoga (I started about a month ago) and I have a question about crow pose. From what I've seen instructors say on youtube, your knees are supposed to be in your armpits while doing crow. That seems impossible to do for me because my knees ALWAYS slide down to almost my elbows. How do I keep this from happening? That's my main issue. I can get into crow, but I usually fall out of it within five seconds. Any advice would be appreciated! submitted by /u/JJackieM89 [link] [comments]

No direction yoga wise Posted: 16 May 2020 08:04 PM PDT How do you figure out what poses to do to get better, I've never been to a yoga class so idk what I should be doing but I really want to learn a handstand submitted by /u/urlocalposer [link] [comments]

How can I loosen up my hips in order to keep my knees down while sitting cross-legged? Posted: 16 May 2020 12:22 PM PDT I can do a lot of beginner poses and it feels awesome. But when I follow a video and the instructor says to pull your knees down, I physically can't. My knees stick straight up and I can't pull them down while my back is straight. What can I do to fix this? submitted by /u/spinachandartichoke [link] [comments]

Best positions for lengthening IT band? Posted: 16 May 2020 01:03 PM PDT I have a stubborn IT band, and it almost feels like that hip has become higher than the other. What are some advanced yoga practices to help fix this? submitted by /u/TheNakedSpirit [link] [comments]

Doing yoga on carpet? Need mat ideas! Posted: 16 May 2020 07:13 AM PDT Hey guys, I just moved to a new place and it's all high carpet. Are there any mats that dont slide on carpet? What do you guys do? TIA submitted by /u/cuteshrimp [link] [comments]

Transcend: "When I try to accept the present moment, I feel like I have no free will, it feels very uncomfortable" Posted: 16 May 2020 08:31 AM PDT When I try to accept it, it feels like I don't have free will, and it feels very uncomfortable. So what if it feels like you have no free will, so what if it feels uncomfortable? Both of these are perceived. You are not bound to these feelings. You are way beyond this. By believing yourself to be limited by these feelings, you are actually manifesting that reality. Just stop believing yourself to be anything that appears within you. and my ego has room to reject it. Yes, the ego appears to have room to reject it, because you gave it that room! Take it back, do not believe the ego has any room to reject it. It is so simple. But I've been into that oneness completely, and it is blissful. You are under the delusion that "you have been into that oneness". That is not true. You ARE that oneness. You are that bliss. There is no one to "experience it", it is what you truly are. That which says "I have been into that oneness" is just a thought. But I always become scared when I come back, because it feels so … real … and true, but it feels like I have no will. Who came back? How can you come back from that which you are? IT is YOU and IT is real and true. That who you think you are right now "I am scared, I have no will" is literally just a thought! How the fuck can a thought have free will, how can a thought NOT be fearful? Its very nature is to be limited and fearful, doubtful, anxious, depressed. That is the nature of thought, but it is not the nature of yourself. Your true nature is completely peaceful, present, calm, aware, joyful, loving, compassionate. You simply keep identifying yourself to be thought. Like I said, it makes me uncomfortable. There is a feeling of just … doing something and not thinking about it, almost as if I'm being controlled but not really… it feels sad. It doesn't make you uncomfortable. It makes thought uncomfortable, and you believe yourself to be that thought which is uncomfortable. Just snap out of it, you are not that, you are that which is perceiving. You (intuition) doesn't need to "think" to "do" stuff, it just gets done. You were simply conditioned to believe you need to think and be the doer of things, instead of simply letting life be what it is, while you are simply in complete sync with the ever-present intuition of the universe. "It feels sad" is just a thought. It is pretending to be you, but it is not you. It can't be you, it is perceived WITHIN YOU. You can't be that. You literally can't. Whether you want it or not, the only thing true about you is that you are infinite awareness, infinite joy, infinite love, infinite compassion, infinite peace, infinite bliss. That is what you are. Anything else merely appears within that which you are. Not what you actually are. Just a thought pretending to be you. Perceive that which is ever-presently perceiving. Be aware of the awareness that is ever-present. Be conscious of the ever-present consciousness. Stay there. Nothing should be able to move you out of that place. Reclaim your true buddha-nature back from the mind, transcend the mind, be. submitted by /u/redditKeyy [link] [comments]

Help with knee pain Posted: 16 May 2020 01:06 PM PDT Hi! So, I love doing yoga and use it alot as a complement to lifting which is my main form of training. However I have a problem. In some poses, where you basically do a low lunge and then reach behind you to grab your foot, the pressure on my knee seems to get to big and it just hurts. I really just can't lift the leg up and grab the foot due to the pain. Since I really want to be able to do these poses, I'm trying to find out how to get rid of/work around this. I'll be grateful for advice. Thanks! submitted by /u/oleifrfan [link] [comments]

Any advice for hypermobility? Posted: 16 May 2020 12:44 PM PDT I don't know if there are any routines out there specifically for those with weak joints, but I can't even hold a plank because of how weak my wrists are and some of the poses look like they'd just cause a lot of pain, but yoga is something I really want to get into for mental health and physical health reasons... I'm just not sure I'm able to do it with joints that like to overextend and cause quite a lot of pain. Any advice is much appreciated 😊 submitted by /u/the_best_bean [link] [comments]

Ceiling gets in the way Posted: 16 May 2020 08:54 AM PDT I'm on the tall side (6'6") and when I do anything the calls for putting my arms over head, my hand hit the ceiling before being fully extended. I don't have any taller rooms for my yoga. I already try to do a bit of a back bend while I am reaching overhead. Any other thoughts? submitted by /u/thetallone_ [link] [comments]

Class Recommendation needed! Posted: 16 May 2020 05:49 AM PDT Hello, hope you are all well! My poor mother has been having a really rough time and I want to buy her some yoga classes that are streaming online. Not a "burn the calories" bootcamp style yoga, something more nourishing and spiritual... If you have any favourite studios or teachers currently streamign their classes, I'd love to know ! submitted by /u/Fruhlingsgefuhle [link] [comments]
