| Hip "cramps" while doing lizard pose and seated star Posted: 11 Sep 2020 06:59 PM PDT I've been doing yoga frequently using the Down Dog app for the past half year since the pandemic and quarantine started. Whenever I do the lizard pose and come down onto my forearms, I feel almost like a kind of cramp in my hips. Same with everytime I do the seated star pose and lean forwards. I've only felt it with these poses. This cramp in my hips bothers me a lot, is there any way to alleviate this cramp? It's not painful at all, just uncomfortable. I can't seem to find a good pose to stretch it out. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2020 08:54 AM PDT So I am a long time "youtube yogi" and am starting to get into some more intensive classes that demand more strength than what I usually did (focused on flexibility or relaxation mostly). I've found that handstands (near a wall) are totally doable for short bits of time and am working on building that up by doing them several times a week, but I went to try a headstand today and found it very painful. I couldn't seem to find a position that allowed me to engage my arms enough to protect my neck. It just collapses. Even before bringing my legs up! Just getting my hips towards my head (not even directly over) was enough weight for my neck to buckle, despite me trying my darndest to engage my arms. What can I do to make headstands safe? What poses should I be practicing during headstands when I'm following along to a video? I either feel absolutely no engagement, or I feel pain. There's no happy window where I'm moving into the headstand where I feel "oh yes, this is building muscle" so I don't feel like I can just sit on my head with my legs down on the floor. Has anyone else found handstands to be easier than headstands? I thought it was supposed to be the other way around. [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2020 05:48 PM PDT Is what we are in essence merely a person, a personality, a bunch of thoughts, memories, past, future, emotions and sensations? Are we only this body and mind or is there something beyond? In absolute reality there is no person, no personality, no thoughts, no memories, no past, future, emotions nor sensations. In absolute reality these are merely concepts appearing in the vast infinite unchanging expanse of the true infinite nature that is the awareness which is aware of all experience and experiencing this moment. Without awareness you could not experience this moment because there would be no awareness of it. Be aware of that awareness. You have realized that what you are is not suffering, can't die, has no limits, does not come and go, it is unchanging and ever-present, timeless and infinite. You are not any thought, emotion, sensation, personal identity or effect appearing in consciousness. All these are clouds coming and going in that unchanging stillness which you are. Without the stillness the clouds could not be. The stillness is the fundamental zero that must be in order for anything to exist in harmony. The stillness that you are IS harmony itself. And beyond. Do not identify as any thought, emotion or sensation appearing in consciousness for it is not what you are, you are that nothing in which it is all appearing. Nothing can exist without the nothing that is the source of all experience and it is the witness of all experience. It is that which is dreaming this dream. Just like how you go to sleep and dream a dream, but you are not anything that is appearing in the dream, you are that formless infinite consciousness that has no limitations upon what it can dream. You are that infinite dreamer but you believe you are the body and mind that are dreamed. What you are can never be lost neither can it be confused, depressed, anxious, miserable, personal, a certain type of person, guilty, ashamed; whatever the thought, emotion or sensation that appears; it is not what you are at all, it is merely an object appearing in the dream. Just like you are not anything appearing in the dream; because you are the infinite dreamer in whose mind it is all appearing; you are not any thought, emotion, sensation or even who you think you are, because that is only a thought appearing in the dream. What you truly are is that infinite consciousness, the time has come to wake up to what you truly are therefore you are reading this text in this present moment. There is nothing for you to do in this life, for you are not the one living life nor the one doing life nor thinking life, you are that infinite source eternal consciousness beyond life and death that is dreaming all of this, you have no need to do anything in the dream for it is only a dream and all dreams are taking care of themselves and are unfolding in harmony. The only way for the dream to not unfold in harmony is for you, the dreamer to believe you are this dreamed body and mind, appearing to be limited, and because of this limited perceiving you are not able to perceive the infinite harmony that the pure consciousness, the dreamer is. You are that. That infinite dreamer consciousness is manifesting in each body-mind to perceive a different dream but the consciousness that is dreaming it is the one and the same consciousness. We are all this one dreamer, dreaming to be separated. There is nothing but the dreamer, the infinite consciousness, dreaming to be multiple forms, it is only a play ground, a dream, you must be aware that you are the dreamer, when you are aware that you are the dreamer there is peace, joy, love, serenity, that is the perfume of your own infinite nature. That dreamer that we all are is the source of all creation (obviously) actually this all makes complete sense and it is so completely obvious that this is a dream it is foolishness that we even believe we are this body and mind even though we are dreaming another body and mind each time when we dream. Wake up. You are the dreamer itself no anything appearing in it. Only the dreamer can understand what this post is talking about, if one is deeply identified with the body-mind he will reject all of this and somehow not be able to understand this. If you understand this and know this in your direct experience then you are blessed. You are awake now in the dream. This is what "awakening" means; waking up from the dream and to know ourselves to be that which is dreaming the dream, infinite, eternal, timeless, unchanging, and all of these words are truly only concepts for that indescribable infinite consciousness that each of us are in essence. Do not believe yourself to be anything else since it is obviously only a thought or concept appearing in the dream. You can't be anything else other than the dreamer, if you look in direct experience this is too obvious. You are not a gender, age, job, experience, object, body, mind, thought, emotion, sensation, imagination, desire, intention, you are absolutely nothing. You are literally nothing. You are not anything that can be named, you are not the past, not the future, all of these are merely clouds appearing in the dream, you are the unchanging dreamer itself that is aware of all of these temporary clouds. You are the unchanging eternal one dreaming all of this. This is being pointed so directly honestly the whole world will wake up to themselves being the dreamer of dreams from this text. All your beliefs, concepts, ideas, attachments; they are all temporary objects appearing in the dream also. You are none of them, do not buy into any of them; they are merely limited objects appearing in the dream. You are that infinite unlimited source of creation, you are that zero that is dreaming all of these objects that are actually created from that same source; infinite consciousness. There is nothing separate from the source for the dreamer is all there truly is. If one believes it is separate from the dreamer, it is straight up delusion. - Sebastian Key [link] [comments] |

| How much is too much when it comes to microsessions? Posted: 11 Sep 2020 08:18 AM PDT Background: I have a work-from-home desk job that is absolutely DESTROYING my body with all the sitting! I normally work in bursts and take a 5-minute break twice an hour to make tea and step away from my desk, but today I tried doing yoga during those 5-minute breaks and I feel SO much better than I usually do. But is that OK or am I going to do damage to myself with a quick vinyasa and a few chest-hip openers twice an hour? I know if I were running the answer would be "don't do that", but is it the same for yoga that we need recovery between sessions? [link] [comments] |
| Random question about yoga pants! Posted: 11 Sep 2020 08:02 AM PDT Hi guys. So I just have a random question! Is there a benefit to wearing pants that are long enough to cover your heels? Or is this just a new style that serves no benefit? I just keep seeing these pants everywhere and I'm wondering if I'm missing out lol! Thanks! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 11 Sep 2020 01:49 AM PDT Hi guys, need some advice. I just qualified as a yoga teacher last week but instead of feeling happy/excited. I just feel exhausted and unmotivated... even for my own personal practice. I was so sure I wanted to be a teacher before lockdown. I was practicing at least once or twice almost every day and really enjoying it... and really passionate about teaching too. Then when lockdown came, my practice at home wasn't the same and I felt myself losing interest (with yoga and a lot of other things too). I just don't know what to do now. I feel a bit confused and unsure if teaching is the right path for me Can anyone relate or have some advice for me? [link] [comments] |
| Anyone know some poses to go thru to open each chakra? Posted: 11 Sep 2020 10:55 AM PDT Took yoga as a gym credit in college. Figured it would be easy n would b lookin at girls in yoga pants. I ended up fucking Loving it. Continued doing it for a year or two after. I ended up moving n stopped but recently want to start up again. Had some basic warm ups n then had specific poses for each chakra. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Sep 2020 05:25 AM PDT So, I'd say this is the main thing holding me back from teaching/creating. I expected to learn a lot more about sequencing during my YTT but instead I feel very unsure and each time I try to create something, I'm hesitant because I have so many questions. For me my vinyasa practice has always been kind of free flowing and all about doing what feels good. I know there has to be some sort of structure but I've been taught that there should always be a theme, target area and peak pose. Sometimes I feel it's all a bit much and makes the practice too serious. As for yin, I'm really new to this and have just ordered Bernie Clark's book to learn more. But does anyone have some advice or anything to share. [link] [comments] |

| Posted: 11 Sep 2020 12:25 AM PDT I want to start practising yoga. But with covid there is nowhere open to go to. Is it worth doing it on my own off YouTube videos or the like? [link] [comments] |
| Forward fold neck cracking amazing-ness Posted: 10 Sep 2020 09:05 PM PDT So lately in my standing forward folds I've been interlacing my fingers at the base of my skull and letting gravity pull me down. I feel the best lengthening in my cervical spine and get the most satisfying neck cracks. Idk what my point is in posing this lol maybe just wondering if anyone else has tried this? Do you like it or dislike it? Thoughts, facts, questions? [link] [comments] |
| Cleaning dirt streaks ans black marks from mat Posted: 11 Sep 2020 07:16 AM PDT Hello! I had the wonderful idea to bring my yoga mat outside yesterday to enjoy the suns rays. By doing this I completely destroyed it. I live on a farm where the animal roam free and the dirt is plentiful. Now my mat is punctured and has big dirt stains. Cleaning it with simple soap and baking soda doesn't really do anything. Does anyone have a trick to clean these off? [link] [comments] |
