    Any former bodybuilders/gym bros here?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 04:00 AM PDT

    Just wanna know your guys' stories or experiences with yoga. I switched from chasing a ripped body with muscles to yoga a few weeks ago. I now feel so much more longer and limber and just feel 10 times better in my body in general.

    I also don't really care about my body image anymore whereas I feel like the bodybuilding community brings on body dysmorphia in way more people than you'd realize. It's only when your out of it you realize how insignificant having a 6 pack over a 4 pack is to how people treat you lol.

    Overall im absolutely loving yoga. It is very challenging which I didn't realize before. I thought if was a very soft sport but I tell you, i respect it now. I love waking up in the mornings and springing out of my bed with no pain. I digest food a lot better aswell.

    My favorite part about yoga so far has been the community aspect. It's a lot more inclusive and together than the bodybuilding community (in my experience anyways). Shoutout to you guys 🙏

    Hola! I just joined YogaInternational online for their 30 days free trial. As a beginner who has only done yoga a handful of times, what do you suggest that is needed? I have a mat, but do I need the blocks and straps? Thank you!

    Is it okay to rely on quad flexibility in King Pigeon?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 04:16 PM PDT

    I'm almost touching my foot to my head in king pigeon! But I feel like it's because my quads are naturally pretty flexible compared to my back. I do practice ONLY back flexibility in my routine so I have made noticeable progress when it comes to my back, but I still feel like it's due to my quads that I'm progressing in the pose because they bend so easily! Is this okay?

    [COMP] How I practice & prepare for headstands. This was an hour before I held the pose for the first time!

    Headaches – do they go away?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 06:53 AM PDT

    I'm getting back into yoga after a break of about 2 years, having done pregnancy yoga for about a year before that.

    I've noticed that any time I am in a pose with my heart above my head – down dog, forward bends, even child's pose eventually – I get a headache. It's not immediate the first time I do any of these poses, but on say the second or third time round it starts becoming a problem.

    As soon as I bring my head level with my heart – box, cat, cow, etc – or above it, the pain is gone.

    I know this isn't uncommon but my question is will it eventually go away the more practice I do?

    Book recommendation for Army Basic training

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 03:26 PM PDT

    Hi,

    I'm shipping off at the end of August for basic training and I can bring a bible with me. As I understood, there are many books on Buddhism/8 limbs of yoga that I can claim as a bible.

    Do you guys have any recommendations that include some sutras, asanas (ideally ashtanga), and other limbs of yoga?

    There are so many different publications and I don't have time to read through all of them.

    Thanks for the help!

    Beginner at yoga, but pain in the back of my left thigh

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 02:29 PM PDT

    So, I've gotten started with Yoga with Adriene's 30 day challenge. I've done yoga for 9 days straight, but I took a break this morning because I was packing for a camping trip. Why does the back of my left thigh hurt so bad? I tried using a roller, but it seems to be pretty deep in the muscle that I couldn't roll it out. Is this normal? Should I try yoga later this afternoon or take a break?

    Manduka Pro sun break-in

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 10:23 AM PDT

    I've got a manduka pro, and I want to set it in the sun and do the salt break in to help with some slipping I've been having.

    Problem is they're calling for temps ~115F (46C) for the next week and at least over 110 for the next two weeks. Would that be too hot for the mat? I don't want it to melt or warp at all

    I am totally lost in my search for a new exercise mat, please help.

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 06:13 AM PDT

    I have been alternating between yoga workouts and YouTube strength workouts (Chloe Ting). My old yoga mat that I had bought from a studio years ago just couldn't keep up and I had little bits breaking off the surface so I threw that out. I just got the first mat I saw after that as I didn't want to interrupt my work out routine but I hate it - I get pretty sweaty and it just sits on the mat making anything requiring me to use pressure to stay in place (planks/t push ups/ etc) very difficult but my main hate is that when doing things like planks or downward dog the mat stretches back, lengthening a bit so my feet slip further and further back as the end of the mat stretches back. This means I have to repeatedly break the pose to readjust my feet and I am finding this very frustrating.

    So my main focus is a mat that won't stretch like this but while many mats say non slip I am not sure if that covers this issue. I don't want to spend an insane amount but as I have been working out most days and kept it up for at least a few months I am happy to spend more to get good quality.

    Do you need to have your soles upwards when doing a lotus position?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 11:38 AM PDT

    Hello, so I'm a lay practisioner... I've been stretching a lot 3-4 times a week for quite some time now because it helped me in my job to recuperate physically. Now I am almost able to get my feet (shins and heels) in the right position on top of eachother but I'm not too sure about the bottoms of my feet (which when I look at pictures always seem to point upwards)

    I don't practise yoga but I'd like to be able to do certain things which I hear are good for the body such as the lotus - just for me.

    But can anyone help me plz and give their opinion are the soles pointing upwards a mandatory or just a natural way the human body flexes best, in the lotus position?

    Looking for online “beginner” classes...with really specific needs

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 06:25 AM PDT

    Hi all,

    I am looking for beginner online classes, Hatha, iyengar or something without a fast sequence of poses, with an emphasis on warm ups and modifications .

    A ton of the classes I have tried say "feel free to modify!" But never tell you what an acceptable modification is which I find extremely difficult.

    I have multiple years of yoga experience all at what I'd call the beginner level so I'm okay with a little more advanced poses etc I just don't want to necessarily be asked or expected to do headstands!

    Free or paid are welcome. Quieter classes (little or no background music) would be wonderful.

    Are my complementary exercises an overkill?

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 04:39 AM PDT

    I have been practicing Ashtanga primary series for quite a while and struggled with many poses. To overcome those struggles, I started doing complementary exercises. I have been wondering lately if those exercises could be skipped, considering how they might overlap with what Ashtanga Yoga provides me already. I would be helpful if someone with some insight about this could lend me a hand.

    Thank you in before hand!

    ​

    My complementary exercises, that I do almost every day before my main practice, are:

    Chaturanga push ups (Strength + Form)

    Pull ups (Strength)

    Squats (Like the one in Sun Salutation B) (Strength)

    Glute bridges (Strength)

    V-Hold (It's like an L-Sit with a V-shape instead) (To strengthen my hip flexors)

    Calf-stretch (https://docpods.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/08/Calf-Stretch-Step-WEB-800x800.jpg)

    Lunge quad stretch (https://www.besthealthmag.ca/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/KneelingQuadStretch2.jpg)

    Couch stretch (https://www.active.com/Assets/couch+stretch.jpg)

    Half-pigeon stretch

    Pants Sticking To Mat

    Posted: 14 Aug 2020 05:43 AM PDT

    Hi r/yoga,

    I am fairly new to yoga but have really enjoyed the decision to jump into it! For my first mat I bought a Gaiam and find that my pants stick to it. If going in to child's pose let's say, I cannot move my legs around the mat to get comfortable. Wherever they are there is no easy adjustment. Would a different style/material help with this or is it just something I need to learn to overcome? I find my hands slip at times in certain positions but this is less frustrating.

    Starting to try out yoga, and I have a question

    Posted: 13 Aug 2020 10:41 PM PDT

    I hurt my wrist in a ski accident years ago, and I can't put it flat on the ground and put weight on it. Will I still be able to continue with yoga with this problem?
