| Online Resources for COVID Take 2 - Please share Zoom/Skype/YouTube, etc. Resources here! Posted: 01 May 2020 10:26 AM PDT As mentioned in another post, many of the Zoom classes in the last megathread are wrapping up as things are opening. I'm moving many of the YouTube resources to this top level post for those who find them useful, but of course the nature of live classes is much more volatile. If you're looking for live classes, of course one great option is to try to stay local! See what your local studios are offering and if it works, try to support them (and share their website here!). Your local joint still has rent to pay, and we of course want them to still be here when things open up. It's also a great opportunity to get some classes in with your favorite teachers that distance keeps you from practicing with. As with the last thread, feel free to also share what you're doing that is helping you to start/maintain your practice, things that are keeping you sane and centered, or what you've done to make a yoga space. A partial copypasta from the other thread: Please note that the standard searches in the subreddit for youtube channels, apps, free resources, home practice, etc. will yield a ton of results, and /r/YogaWorkouts is also a resource.

| Massive imbalance between standing and seated forward fold Posted: 01 May 2020 12:01 PM PDT So before covid I train bjj, I thought if myself as fairly flexible and in a few joints across a few axis, I am. But the bane of my existence has been hamstrings / forward fold. I just finished 30 days of yoga with Adrian and have started on another one of her programs but I'm wondering if I'm missing something Yesterday for the first time I was able to touch my forehead to my shins in a standing forward fold. But my seated forward fold I am still probably close to 6 or 8 inches away. This makes no sense to me and have concluded I'm doing something wrong. How do I get my seated forward fold to catch up to my standing forward fold? What should I look to change? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 01:45 PM PDT Dreaming of a vacation (as I'm sure we all are at this point). I've been researching yoga retreats for the first time, and it's given me such a new energy. I'd love to hear about retreats you have experienced. Places you love. Things to skip. Let me live vicariously through you lol. Hoping to book my first once it's safe to travel. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 07:11 PM PDT Has anyone heard of or tried skill yoga. It is supposed to be designed for athletes, therefore providing strength and mobility. I love yoga and have been eyeing the app for a bit, but just wondering what people's opinions are. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 01 May 2020 07:05 PM PDT I noticed that most of my soreness, pain and form issues (like butt wink, internal knee pain etc ) mainly come from these point which I mostly attribute to sitting. I also have very flat feet despite walking barefoot a lot so that doesn't help . Does anyone have a routine , preferably a video, which I can mindlessly follow every day , which roughly divers all if these points ? [link] [comments] |

| Strange problem/occurrence during warm up Posted: 01 May 2020 02:09 PM PDT Wasn't sure where to post this. I used to do yoga a few years ago but stopped after an injury and never started again. Now I have nothing but time I've started again. Before each flow I sit on my mat and just breathe imagining bad energy flowing out my bum into the floor rhen away and good energy flowing in through my head. However, without fail I start crying whenever I begin visualising. I'm not sobbing, no noises or snot just my eyes start to stream and I get this heavy/hurt feeling in my chest and a deep melancholy that takes a few hours to dissipate. Any ideas why? Info - I do have some neurological disorders but I dont think they play a part in this. [link] [comments] |

| [COMP] Time-Lapse: Taking My Practice to the Next Level! Posted: 01 May 2020 05:37 PM PDT I've been doing yoga on and off for years, but haven't ever really appreciated it as much as I do now. Being home, missing my friends, work, and sense of stability has all really messed with me deeply - and yoga has come THROUGH, especially on the tough days. As a result of practicing more often, I've gotten stronger and stretchier (and somewhat calmer), which has meant my body is doing stuff I didn't even know it could do! Feeling really grateful for daily practice, and for finding a happy place on my mat- and hoping your practice is doing the same for you this week! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 May 2020 11:16 AM PDT Hey everyone. I've been trying to stretch out to achieve full lotus. I am able to do it, but it feels as if I destroyed my knees in the process. I'm no longer practicing this pose. I was wondering if there is any exercises to correct the knees so they are not in pain anymore? [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 01 May 2020 01:16 AM PDT Hello! I'm new to yoga and I'm loving how this practice makes my body/mind feel. I'm mainly using youtube videos and don't have any yoga friends. I enjoy the videos but sometimes, I want to just listen to my music instead of someone else talking and do my own flow. Any tips on creating your own flow? How do you all create one?

| Posted: 01 May 2020 04:01 AM PDT Since I started giving yoga classes, for every session I spend around 30-40 minutes chatting with my learners on Whatsapp or Instagram to get their confirmation on attendance, make sure that they paid, so that I send them the Zoom link It's all such a hassle. Is there anything out there that can help? Anyone can help? [link] [comments] |
| Yoga has changed so much for me! How has it changed you? Posted: 01 May 2020 05:13 AM PDT Hi everyone! I hope this kind of post is allowed - I've been lurking in this sub for a while and commenting here and there, but I just wanted to share some of the progress I've made, mentally and physically, thanks to my yoga practice, in case maybe someone else, like me, is just starting and this motivates them to continue. I was overweight for most of my life, and I went through a few traumas in my late teens/early 20s. I spent a long time unpacking those traumas and their effects mentally throughout my 20s, and in the last few years (34 now), I've turned seriously to a strong Buddhist meditation practice that has helped a lot. At the same time, for the past few years, I've worked hard to lose weight and create a healthy body by working out and eating well. I've been lifting weights regularly for just about 2 years now, and for the majority of that time, I'd been doing informal yoga post-workout stretches, but I grew to love them and wanted more. After a while, I stopped using videos and just put on the right music and did the stretching on my own, and I really started to develop a mind-body connection and become more flexible. Then, a few weeks ago, in the absence of walking everywhere all the time since I cannot leave my home, I started doing actual yoga to get my body moving more, via online classes, every day. Sometimes I do my own thing and make my own flow and practice the poses I struggled with and luxuriate in the ones I like, sometimes I do restorative yoga after a workout, sometimes I continue on the structured classes I'm doing, but I do it every day. In just a few weeks, I have become SO much more flexible and strong. My body feels better than it ever has. But more importantly, yoga has shown me how to get rid of the outdated self-concepts that I carry around with myself. For example, my whole life, I'd considered myself someone with a weak body, someone who shouldn't even try physical tasks because my body is too horrible for them (I'd fake sick every time we were supposed to run a mile in PE because I was so scared of physical tasks and hated my body so much), someone whose body made them "less than" everyone else. Most people who have lost weight have maybe felt a similar thing - you lose weight and your body becomes strong, but you've been carrying around these false concepts about your body for so long that though your shape has changed, your mind hasn't, and so the change is meaningless because you still see yourself the same way. Yoga has allowed me to connect to my body in such a beautiful, healing way that I feel like I have exorcised all those demons of my past. Some experiences of this are more acute, via uncontrollable crying during hip openers etc, and some experiences of this are more long-term, via the shifting and evolving way I relate to my body and carry myself, and most importantly, trust myself. I never trusted my body until now, and suddenly my practice is blooming because I trust my body and let it do what it can do without getting in my own way (for the most part - I'm still a beginner, after all!). Personally, too, yoga has helped me to relate to myself in a different way. In getting rid of these past body concepts, it also helps me to let go of these negative self-concepts I've carried around all this time. I tend to relate to myself in terms that describe me at my worst - selfish, lazy, negative, emotional vampire, etc - but that's who I was when I was a traumatized 20 year old with no support to work through her shit. It's not who I am now. Through connecting to my body and really appreciating it (and also through my meditation practice), I've been able to also shed some of that negativity in how I relate to myself as a person as well because yoga has emphasized so clearly that the mental limits we put on ourselves are, for lack of better phrase, made up bullshit. Basically, yoga has reminded me of how much we can change, and how important it is to check in with ourselves about that and make sure the way we relate to ourselves is up-to-date and, depending on where we're at in our own healing process, make sure that we are not stuck in a past trauma or negative mindset that has no bearing on our present situation. I still have a long way to go in my practice, but I'm really looking forward to improving, and I love seeing everyone's posts in this sub - it's really inspiring. Thanks for listening to my story. If you relate to it, I would love to hear how YOU have grown through yoga, if you don't mind sharing! [link] [comments] |
