    Advice: EXTREMELY inflexible legs

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 03:48 PM PDT

    Hello everyone!

    I restarted yoga again! It used to be a regular thing for me and it fell behind. Now that I have the opportunity to develop the habit again, I'm noticing some particular weak spots of my body that I want to improve.

    Specifically, my legs. I've always struggled with keeping my knees straightened. Even when it's as simple as sitting straight up with my legs extended in front of me, my knees want to pop up, and I feel a lot of tightness keeping them down.

    I'm not frustrated by this, but I would really like to have that basic flexibility. Is there anything specific I can do to improve this?

    Thanks!

    Did my first yoga session, why didn't I cry?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 06:23 PM PDT

    Monday I went to my first yoga class and everyone says it will help cure my mental health issues and I will cry after yoga as all my emotions release and my brain heals - none of that happend. Only thing I experienced was extremely sore legs for 2 days. I'm still unhappy and angry and I didn't cry and release all my emotions and cure my nervous system.

    Change is not something that we should fear!

    Change is not something that we should fear. Rather, it is something that we should welcome. For without change, nothing in this world would ever grow or blossom, and no one in this world would ever move forward to become the person they're meant to be. -B.K.S Iyengar

    Yoga for someone who wants to focus on Flexibility and Circulation?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 03:34 PM PDT

    I'm a male in my 30s with the flexibility of a rock.

    My main 2 focuses are flexibility and circulation. The good news is I've done some yoga before (and even have a mat).

    Which type of yoga (and what resource i.e.: book, YT videos, etc.) do you recommend?

    What and how do you eat?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 06:38 AM PDT

    Hi, fellow Yogis!

    I am a beginner and very keen on the Yogic lifestyle.

    I would like to adopt the sattvic diet but I'm unsure how to structure my meals since what I've mostly seen are a groupings of foods. I'd like to find out more in terms of what your meals actually consist of if they consist of sattvic foods.

    Also, what has been your experience with this diet?

    Cheers x

    Auditioning for a Yoga Studio on Zoom - Tips?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 11:42 AM PDT

    Do any fellow RYTs here have any tips for teaching on zoom? I'm, auditioning for a studio tomorrow and the way they work, I don't do the class with the students, I just cue. The only thing I will demo is the peak pose. But I am just talking through a level 2 vinyasa class. And I will be teaching real students not just the studio owner.

    I practiced it with a friend last night and I'll go over the video and I'll try to find where I messed up and practice more as much as I can. I also posted on another sub trying to find students that I would pay to take my class just so I can practice teach to get my routine down. But that's about all I can do. I am nervous!

    thanks in advance. <3

    Should I wear a mask in my yoga class or will it hamper my yoga progress/benefits?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 11:25 AM PDT

    I am in a class and sadly they don't do it outside, it's in a pretty small room. There about 5-6 people including the instructor and me. (In the US)

    Should I wear a mask? None of them do. I like the yoga but I am worried I am rolling the dice here. If I wear a mask will it ruin my progress?

    Should I feel any tension or effort when doing cat cow?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 10:40 AM PDT

    Hi.

    I don't notice any effort, tension or stretch when I do cat cow, unlike with pretty much any other stretch. Am I doing it wrong?

    Yoga – Union with God

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 04:11 AM PDT

    What is Yoga?

    What is Yoga? Yoga is commonly understood to be physical gymnastics – the mere practice of breathing exercises or Pranayama, meditation techniques or Dhyana, physical exercises and postures or Asanas. Of course, these are parts of Ashtanga Yoga or the Eight Limbs of Yoga, but in reality this is not Yoga. The role of Asanas or meditation is a part of the overall Yogic experience, but Yoga means something entirely different.

    Yoga is "Yuj" or Union – Union with God. It is the ability to detach oneself from the world and connect with God. It is building a connection with God. Just as a SIM card, pinging for the satellite discovers its own network, and then follows the network wherever it goes, similarly, being in Yoga means being in constant union with God and never disconnecting from God. One who is connected to God grows closer to God and finally achieves God. A true seeker of God tries to remain in Yoga at all times.

    The science behind Yoga is to experience the true joy and bliss that comes from the union with the higher power. However, the world has understood Yoga to be a lifestyle solution for wellness – for attaining a fit body and mind. Yoga is also understood to be the union of body, mind and Soul. Sure, Yoga is good for the body and mind, but the bigger question is – Are we the body-mind complex? The one who is on a quest, realizes that he is not the body or the mind. He discovers the deeper meaning of Yoga and uses it as the foundation for self-realization, Liberation and Enlightenment.

    Different forms of Yoga

    Yoga can be practised in four ways – Karma Yoga or Yoga of Action, Bhakti Yoga or Yoga of Devotion, Jnana Yoga or Yoga of Education and Dhyana Yoga or Yoga of Meditation. These four ways help us to build a union with that Omniscient Power and as long as we are in Yoga, connected or in union with God, it doesn't matter what type of Yoga we are in. Therefore, one need not specifically separate the four channels of Yoga. Bhakti Yoga can lead to Karma Yoga, just as Dhyana Yoga or Silence and Meditation can lead to Jnana Yoga. The four different forms of Yoga must create an uninterrupted and continuous connection with God. If this happens, one is on the path to Liberation and achieves the ultimate goal of life.

    Yoga or Bhoga?

    While spiritual aspirants continue to remain in Yoga, living with faith, hope and enthusiasm, the common man of the world doesn't live in a state of Yoga, rather lives in Bhoga, which means that he lives with desires, cravings, expectations, and passion. This is opposite to the path of spiritual enlightenment. This makes one sink into the world of pleasures. Finally, it is up to us to choose between Yoga (union with God) or Bhoga (to live with desires). The choice is ours.

    I want to progress to badass, advanced poses. How Do I do that from home?

    Posted: 22 Jul 2020 12:28 AM PDT

    Hello all,

    I would like to find progressive daily practices online that eventually go on to more difficult/ advanced poses. I would like to find (for free or one time fee) something that has an entire routine (several months) that incorporates different stages of the pose and ends with the difficult pose. I do not want to just learn the poses on their own. What have you all used to get to those badass poses?

    Thank you so much in advance.
