| Downward Dog help Topic for All Abilities Posted: 31 May 2020 01:18 PM PDT A few helpful tips to start. Downward Dog on your knees, hips over knees, is still Downward Dog. If you were to sit back more on your heels it would be Puppy Pose. There is never one exact way to do a pose. But if you get too far from the standard or can't do close to the standard you have to consider there might be things going on that aren't helpful for you in the long run. Or might even be the start of an injury. It's ok to do the pose for a breath or 2, take a little break lower down to your knees then try again. One of the best ways to build strength is a high number of short reps. This means do the pose many times but only for a short manageable length of time. Over fatigue of the muscles will lead to sloppy form. Quality over quantity. There is the 80/20 rule for best results. Work at a moderate level for 80% of the time. 20% of the time put in extra effort. Downward Dog is half way between a plank pose and a forward fold. Try many different lengths in your stance. Really long and really short then find a nice spot in the middle. But don't always do it like that. Try different lengths from time to time. A long stance will put more effort into the upper body like a plank. A short one will put more effort into the lower body like a forward fold. "If you struggle with Down Dog be compassionate and patient with yourself, you are no the first person with tight hamstrings or weak arms. On the other hand be diligent. Ultimately Down Dog will start to feel so good that you will really empathize with the full-body joy that dogs display while doing the pose."

| [COMP] First time adding movement to my headstand Posted: 31 May 2020 01:09 PM PDT |
| Advanced/deep backbends and warmups Posted: 31 May 2020 03:18 PM PDT [COMP] I was born with a decently flexible back. I have been practicing yoga for a couple of years and have harnessed this. Without warmup I am able to sink into really deep backbend asanas (scorpion etc. I am easily able to bring my feet over my forehead. I feel like this is bad to just jump into such deep postures without warming up. Am I okay to do this as i have the flexibility level or am I just risking injury? Also I don't find I am able to go much deeper in my back after warmups. and so could do with some suggestions on deep backbend postures to try [link] [comments] |

| Active/physically challenging yoga videos for men? Posted: 31 May 2020 06:08 PM PDT Hey, I'm a 28 year old guy in Canada, and I'm relatively new to yoga. I'm pretty active, I usually lift weights and used to play sports until I injured my knee and tore my meniscus. During quarantine I bought weights and use them 4-5 times a week, and I've taken up yoga for the remaining days of the week. I started by doing online videos from a chain of gyms (Goodlife), and there is an amazing instructor, Lewis McNairy, that has a couple of videos that have made me fall in love with yoga! His videos are very active and move at a quicker pace, they are exactly what I want out of yoga but unfortunately there are only four 30 min classes. I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for similar types of videos online? I've tried the intermediate level yoga and power yoga videos from: Yoga With Adrienne, Yoga With Tim, and Lululemon. While I get the appeal of all of these resources, I'm looking for more active/intense classes, so I stay mentally engaged and physically challenged. From what I've read online, power yoga is the most active but unfortunately I haven't found anything that does the trick for me. I'm hoping some of you wise yogis will be able to help me. Please and thank you in advance! [link] [comments] |
| How do you create your own routine? Posted: 31 May 2020 06:07 PM PDT Youtube just doesn't do it for me sometimes, so I want to create my own Yoga routine to do it the way I want. The only problem is, I don't know how to do that. [link] [comments] |
| Yoga + Meditation class with Hayleigh Robertson Posted: 31 May 2020 11:59 AM PDT Hi! My name is Hayleigh, this is my first post on Reddit. Lil bit about me-- I'm a trauma-informed yoga instructor, licensed massage therapist, reiki practitioner, and artist living in Cleveland, Ohio. I recorded this video last week with the intention to share it with my clients and students for free during the Covid-19 crisis. A lot has happened since then regarding racial violence & police brutality, which have led to powerful protests and riots in various American cities... so I've decided to post this publicly on YouTube, accessible to anyone and everyone that wants it. Feel free to share this post wherever. Listen, I understand this one class isn't solving these huge issues. But it can help, and it absolutely can't hurt. It's a grounding class with invitational movements, meditation, distance reiki, and a sound healing. My intention is for this to be a healing experience, receive what you wish from it (It was recorded from my 2008 MacBook, so the sound quality on the singing bowls is ~just okay~) [link] [comments] |
| how to do a proper crows pose? Posted: 31 May 2020 02:09 PM PDT i do my crows pose by resting my shins on my arms, but many of the posts i see here looks like the persons only touching their knees to their arms! Is there a right/wrong way to be doing this pose? I've always felt like shins work for me, but i'm new to yoga and want to make sure i'm doing the pose properly and that i have the correct posture! Thank you [link] [comments] |

| Virtual Reality for Yoga Practice - Opinions? Experiences? Hopes? Posted: 31 May 2020 07:40 AM PDT Hi All!!! I was wondering what everyone's thoughts on using Virtual Reality to practice yoga?

If you haven'y experienced Virtual Reality what do you think about the concept? Is Virtual Reality the "future" of home-based practice? Thank you to anyone that responds!!! [link] [comments] |
