| Getting into yoga and OUT of my phone? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 06:37 PM PDT Hello all, I have a pretty basic yoga background but it has been calling me more and more for a while now. I used to love going to yoga class in my local studio. Now that that is no longer happening (for who knows how much longer) I've turned to yoga YouTube videos but I find these largely unfulfilling. I just hate looking into my phone screen!!!!!! I hate it all: it's hard to turn off notifications but keep WiFi on, and the screen is so small, and most importantly, my phone screen time has been really increasing my anxiety during the pandemic. Can anyone relate, and what are your thoughts? I'd like to really commit to a yoga journey in my life but the screen time feels like a real problem to me. Any advice? Thank you! [link] [comments] |
| Looking to change-up my routine Posted: 20 Sep 2020 05:25 PM PDT I've been religiously practicing yoga first thing in the morning for a good bit of this quarantine. It's the only thing that keeps me sane. I've been doing beginner stuff for a while now. I'm looking to diversify. My routine is as follows:
I like it and I'm considering prefixing the Sun Salute routine. I'm trying to do Dancer's pose but it's difficult so far. What are some good poses to integrate into my routine? I dislike that I'm not using the proper names for the poses-- I really just haven't had any spare time to read, even rushed this post. [link] [comments] |

| Seeking advice: I finished 30 days of yoga with Adriene. Any recommendations on what to do next? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 07:43 AM PDT Hi all, I am new to yoga. I started yoga 30 days ago by following Adriene's 30 days of yoga playlist on youtube (it's the one from Jan 2015) and today will be day #30: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TXU591OYOHA I like what I've tried so far and I am looking for some guidance on what to try next. My main goals are: (1) psychological benefits (such as reducing stress, cutting down negative thoughts, controlling anger), (2) something that complements my existing workout, which consists of weight lifting and cardio. A nice third benefit might be (3) increasing balance and flexibility, which is nice to have, but not really necessary. Thank you in advance for the advice! [link] [comments] |
| Enjoying yoga, have a few questions. Posted: 20 Sep 2020 04:11 PM PDT Based on the recommendation here I got the Down dog app and sneak in 10-20min sessions each day. I also have peloton digital app and tried yoga but they are so fast, I did not do any do their classes except for a 10 min hip opener which I enjoyed. I have found that my wrist are weak and hurt when I try to warm them up. I am slowly trying crow and hand stand with waking up to the wall. Any tips on how to get my wrist to get stronger.

| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 12:11 PM PDT Im sort of new to yoga, have been going to classes offered at my gym 2 times a week. I like yoga its fun and relaxes/ chills me out in a way no other exercise/ sport ever could. (I'm a highly-strung kinda person). Anyway, I recently discovered and started doing follow along yoga on youtube as well as going to my class and have just been doing it every day. I don't get sore and it's fun and good for relaxing my mind, so can I keep doing it every day or should I do rest days? I'm a guy btw and all I know is weightlifting lol. [link] [comments] |
| Is there anyone here who does yoga and practice competition sports? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 11:57 AM PDT If so, which sports do you practice, what's your yoga routine and how's your flexibility regarding yoga poses? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:40 AM PDT Hello all, first time posting here with my new healthier Reddit username. I am starting to incorporate yoga into my daily health choices and I wanted to see if anyone had recommendations of videos that explore the different types of yoga. I honestly know nothing about yoga except that it is stretching but I really want to dive deeper into the physical and mental aspects of it. [link] [comments] |
| Dealing with dizziness—need advice! Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:33 AM PDT First time poster here. Started practicing pretty consistently (several times per week) about a year ago and found out I'm a natural. My biggest challenge right now is dealing with dizziness. Oftentimes I can only get through about a half hour of class because I feel like I will pass out. It's not due to a lack of endurance or strength, but dizziness! I am beginning to wonder if the dizziness is due to my body type (6ft tall, very thin) because it seems this is a problem no matter how consistent my breathwork. Standing backbends in particular set me off, as do certain changes in elevation of my head. If anyone has experience dealing with this problem I'd be so grateful to hear it! I feel that this issue is really preventing me from taking my practice to an advanced level. Thanks everyone! [link] [comments] |
| Every session ends up as a game of "Was That My Spine Or Is Somebody Popping Popcorn In Here?" Posted: 20 Sep 2020 01:48 AM PDT Just me? I'm not old. I'm not even close to old. Apparently I just have the bones of ninety year old. I've been doing yoga for about two years, though admittedly with some not-insignificant breaks every few months. I've been in a couple sport-related accidents over the years and they've left me with a nice, long laundry list of problems. The worst are my lower back and hips. Yoga really has helped mitigate the pain and stiffness I get, to the point where I can actually sleep soundly in bed at night without waking up crying from back pain. But basically every pose I move into involves an expected number of loud pops and clicks as my joints figure out whatever the hell they're doing. Supine spinal twists bring about a rather satisfying symphony of pops that start mid-spine and travel down to my tailbone. Standing up on my tiptoes makes my ankles rattle like a rickety bedframe. Pigeon pose and child's pose both make my hips click, particularly on my right side. I sort of like the feeling, which is a problem in itself, because I get distracted in poses if I don't hear a click, and then I start contorting myself in all sorts of weird ways to try get one from the offending joint. Which is neither relaxing, nor likely healthy for my poor frail body. That or there really is a family of gnomes living under my bed who crack out the popcorn whenever I so much as try to touch my toes. [link] [comments] |
| How do you deal with family members "destroying" your practice? Posted: 20 Sep 2020 10:50 AM PDT Semi rant but holy crap I'm so annoyed and upset. I'm 22, and due to covid had to leave my apartment (and my mats) in a foreign country and come back and live at my parents house. This, along with the cost to replace stuff, has been tough on me, and I've just been really depressed. I finally decided enough was enough and I wanted to better myself and get back into trying to do yoga (particularly redo the "dedicate" challenge from yoga with Adrienne, because I never finished it). I bought a mat (not my fave but fine enough), and decided to just set my goal. I was on day 3 today, and I was honestly feeling great. I had just begun a series of warrior poses, and had switched legs. All the sudden, my parents are demanding to talk to me about things, and forced me to stop mid-practice and roll up my mat, because they had to check something on the windows and needed to get through. When they finally left, they let the cat in, who poceeded to cry and weave through my legs as I desperately tried to finish off my practice. Needless to say, it was completely destroyed, because by the time I got readjusted, my mind and body were out of it and the cat was a constant distraction. Does anyone have experience with this? If so, how do you deal with it? I have very severe anxiety (which I'm working on), so I don't feel comfortable practicing outside of my private space, and I don't have the funds to rent anything anywhere else. My parents, though they understand its important to me to exercise, don't understand why I can't just pick it back up when its at their convenience. ETA: I don't know if I wrote this wrong or not. It wasn't just parents looking at stuff in the room for a minute and I could ignore it. Thry required me to stop, close my video and laptop, get dressed, roll up my mat, let them in, and participate in what was happening. This took over 20 minutes. It was an unexpected break and not the scheduled time. Im sorry I'm apparently shit enough to where its somehow my fault I can't magically drown that and my cat headbutting my food while I balance out like everyones saying I was supposed to do??! It makes zero sense to me?! [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:34 PM PDT So, long story short, I believe I have a nerve exposed in my tooth seeing as it is unlike any toothache I've ever had, like a painful jolt of electricity when it throbs. I haven't been able to go to the dentist yet and have mostly been taking pain killer and a nerve relaxer to deal with it until I am able to make an appt(dentist is backed up from corona shut down patients being rescheduled first). Anyways, when the pain killer and such wears off in about six hours, I take more and deal with excruciating pain as I wait for it to kick in. The pain is so bad that ti have a pretty hard time handling it or thinking of anything except the pain. Recently, I decided that everytime I wait for the pain killer to kick in, I would just do some yoga. The first couple of times was wretched, but I figured trying to distract myself was best. One day I went into forward fold and bam, a minute or so into it, tooth pain is barely there. After slowly coming up it would still hurt, but much less and while in forward fold it barely hurts after being in it for a good moment. I tried researching into this, but could only find things about inverting yourself for back pain. I'm not here searching for medical advice, but was wondering if anyone knows the correlation to this? Is this just a coincidence or can inversions really help with such things? Could it be focusing on the breath maybe? When doing other postures I focus on my breath and they don't help with it really. Downward dog helps a little, but forward fold has been amazing for it. Anyways, does anyone know anything about this? Maybe the bloodflow or breath or a combination? After experiencing this I just became very curious about it but as I said, I couldn't find anything at all to do with that specifically with mouth pain, possibly nerve pain. Any info or links to something to do with it would be greatly appreciated. I just want to understand why this helps, not complaining, but I hadn't been expecting it to help so much and it really caught me by surorise and has anyone else had like mouth pain or head pain that inversions helped with?

| Posted: 19 Sep 2020 11:00 PM PDT I do my youtube classes seriously. However, I want to improve my practice, like, I would want to be able to forward fold completely or just touch my belly to my thigh. Any tips on how I should proceed? I'm really confused [link] [comments] |
