    Thoughts about doing yoga twice a day?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 05:03 PM PDT

    I've just gotten back into vinyasa after a year off. My first day back on the mat was very rough but my second day on the mat two days later was much better (not great, but better). I love yoga because I can see and feel my progress with each practice. I am thinking about doing two 75-minute vinyasa sessions a day (if my body is up to it) a couple times a week. I want to get stronger and more flexible faster. I'm wondering if others have any supporting or opposing opinions about this? Are there any downsides to practicing multiple times a day? Any positive/negative experiences?

    During yoga, you are supposed to feel the pull right?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 07:01 PM PDT

    Hi, just started my yoga journey today specifically for posture and upper body strength. How do I know if i am hurting instead of stretching?

    And any other asans that I can assimilate in my yoga practice?

    Recommendations for Strength

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 08:39 AM PDT

    Hello!

    How do you all do strength training?

    Traditional weight lifting, calisthenics, or yoga based strength routines?

    I want to stay primarily doing yoga but also really want to add in 2 days a week more targeted directly towards strength training.

    If there's any recommended routines or YouTube videos or channels throw em at me!

    Sattvic diet question

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 05:06 PM PDT

    Hello, let me start by being honest... fom what i have read and heard, the committed eating of sattvic food is very important for having balanced mind. I dont know for sure what does that mean by food because i never tried it.. at least not long enough. So i was wondering, is it good for general detox of the body and also, for the mind, like is it worth all the effort and change, while you lets say, dont practice yoga too seriously.. just food for now. I say this because asanas, pranayama and meditation are useless pretty much if the foundation isnt clean. And also, would i be full enough for it so i am not hungry and can function normally? I have pretty stressed life, tho

    Are expensive yoga brands worth it?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 03:35 PM PDT

    I have been doing hot yoga since 2017. I finally graduated college and have the means to start investing in better quality yoga attire. I have essentially had the same several pair of inexpensive leggings for the last few years and am SO READY to retire them. I'm not even going to talk about my sports bras, they are just.... bad. Are expensive yoga brands worth it? What are the best brands and styles to try? Any tips on natural ways to wash your athletic clothes so they don't smell like a gym bag.

    Equipment help

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 11:41 AM PDT

    I'm new to yoga all I have is a 55cm ball and a blanket. I currently have no money either to buy any equipment. What do you suggest I use as a smaller ball, forgot the name it's the size of a melon if that helps?

    ISO: South Asian Yoga Teacher Trainer/ing!

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 02:08 PM PDT

    I'm a South Asian mindfulness facilitator looking to embark on yoga teacher training (hopefully in-person after covid, whenever that is lol)! Looking for a South Asian yoga teacher that can teach me our birthright in the most authentic way possible. I know there are a bunch of YTT schools in India, but I'm apprehensive about yoga-tourism. Not completely closed to the idea of traveling to India for YTT, would just like to find a traditional school. Really don't care about the RYT certification - this is more for me to practice what my ancestors did. Based in Canada right now, so any advice would be appreciated!

    Yoga TT Recommendations

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 01:23 PM PDT

    Hello! I am curious to any and all yoga teacher training recommendations. I have done a lot of practice with core power, but know that there are more authentic and reasonably priced studios out there. The TT at core power is quite expensive compared to others. I am wondering if anyone has any recommendations on TT through core power or else where? I am interested in paying more at core power if the employment through that studio is usually better, but also interested in less expensive training, through someplace who is focused more on the meditative aspects of yoga. Total newwwb here so any and all recommendations appreciated :)

    Also, if you want to teach at core power do you have to do training through them? Can you train with core power and use your TT elsewhere?

    How can I practice and fine tune my breath?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 09:03 AM PDT

    I've been practicing for over a year and I've gotten pretty decent; however, I STILL have a hard time focusing on my breath. Now that flowing is fairly smooth, that's what I'm trying to work on but I don't seem to be improving.

    I have BPD and my natural breathing is really erratic, due to anxiety and severe paranoia. I would like to be able to focus on my breath on and off the mat, really. I feel like it would be beneficial in all aspects of my life, not just my flow. Any tips from you guys would be so helpful.

    Yoga studio profits

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 03:18 PM PDT

    How much does the average yoga studio make monthly/ or per year? Let's assume they can hold 20-25 people in their space.

    Doing vinyasa yoga with bad knees

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 09:08 AM PDT

    I really want to lose around 10-15lbs and I've been doing intense cardio workouts but it's taking a huge toll on my knees, particularly with my left knee everytime I walk even to the bathroom it's painful and feels displaced and I wear a knee brace almost all the time. Would doing vinyasa yoga to lose weight (I already eat very healthy so I know weight loss is 80% diet) be bad for my knees or would it actually help? Does anyone have experience with very bad knees and vinyasa yoga? I would also focus on stretching and restorative yoga as well of course but I don't want to do lots of vinyasa if it could make my knees worse. Let me know if you have any info or personal experiences with this!!

    an authentic encounter with a realisation during practice

    Posted: 07 Sep 2020 11:23 PM PDT

    hi everyone, i had a really spiritual experience this morning during my practice and i immediately wrote it into my yoga diary, but i can't stop thinking about it, it's stuck with me and part of me and i can't shake it and i need to share it...

    ok, so i knew Yoga is powerful, spiritual and transformative but i didn't realise what this meant.. up until recently there's been slow incremental changes in my personality and a general feeling of a sort of peace thanks to the practice of abhyasa and vairagya (this means not feeding your craings and trying to be non-chalant with things you avert), it's seeped it's way in to my life off the mat and i am more mindful of thoughts entering my head as objects rather than i am the thought, i can see these objects enter my mind as a craving or aversion and it creates some space for me to be able to better handle what ever emotion has raised with the thought - there's a distance... and i thought that i'd just keep doing this and become really good at it and then one day just nothing would phase me, but today there was a monumental shift in my practise and the perspective of which i was viewing my mind... it felt like all this time i've been trying to understand some kind of 3d object like a cube but viewing it from a 2d perspective, so i've been trying to learn and see and understand this square but as my mind stilled i saw that this isn't a square i'm looking at, this is a cube, and it might even have more dimensions....

    (my teacher says as humans we can relate to our mind as a monkey, it is on autopilot and does what it wants when it wants based on our ego, basically, and during practice our job is to practise asana and generate mindfulness and watch the monkey drive the plane, while we sit at the back of the plane cracking peanuts)... the metaphor is that the monkey will become curious with you sitting at the back of the plane and what you're doing with those nuts, at this point he comes to the back and mindfulness is generated, giving us a tamed monkey or a tamed mind we can work with more easily)

    the monkey that i've been sitting back and watching him run loose, and getting him curious and coming back to sit with me, well this monkey has lost it's shape and form... and the thing that's watching and cracking peanuts has began to fade.... i have never had this explained or had to explain it to anyone before so i hope it comes out lucid, but as i was, what i can only explain as expanding my consciousness and becoming my mind/body and moulding with the asana and i was aware this monkey is still experiencing and talking when it feels a deep stretch i said who are you monkey, and realised, the person, the character, the monkey saying this hurt that hurts that feels good has no form, and i traced it back and searched and searched and searched and realised these thoughts aren't coming from me or a coming thing, it's a network of memories and impression and stuff i've done, the monkey isn't doing anything original it is acting and reacting to events from the past, it isn't a monkey it is the impressions and memories of things i've done and said reliving itself, there's a matrix of saved energies that i touched and it dissolved the shape of the monkey but not only that i've come back from the session feeling somewhat liberated... i don't experience desire or aversion with the same relationship, because it's raising as a habitual pattern, an emotionally charged energy that is reliving itself, i found karma! if i keep reacting and reliving the same way with no wisdom and without the dharma (the 8 limbs) then i can't make it so what i'm saving in there is good energies and habitual patterns, and even worse, when a negative habitual pattern starts to play itself out, if i let it then it becomes thicker and more apart of "the monkey mind"... i realised, it's the 5 senses that are drawing out the monkey but the monkey is just a matrix of habitual patterns and energies, i have really touched what it means to turn my mind in to a sense organ and it was so cataclysmic that i don't know what to do with it, it scares me but at the same time it has a sense of comfort, a sense of understanding...

    i didn't know this was coming and i didn't expect it i've read about all this stuff but i truly experienced it today with my practice, can anyone else relate to this???????

    What do you use to record your practice?

    Posted: 08 Sep 2020 07:43 AM PDT

    Hey Yogis! long time lurker, first-time poster. For the past 7 months or so, I have been recording my practice, and it has really helped me improve my form and progress in certain poses.

    Currently, I record on my iPhone, listen to music on my Ipad, and if I'm following a video - I'll play that on my laptop. The problem is that my phone fills up SO fast (especially with hour-long practices). I find myself having to manually clean out my icloud and download my videos locally multiple times per week.

    I also have a DSLR camera, but it automatically stops recording at 30 minutes (I'm finding this to be the case with all of the cameras that I look at.)

    So, how do you record your sessions to review later? Thank you!
