    The wife went to target and asked if I wanted anything. I said yoga blocks and expected some off brand junk that I’d end up replacing. Boy did she deliver!

    Do certain locations have better working conditions for yoga instructors?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 07:32 PM PDT

    Over the last year, I was responsible for hiring yoga instructors for a British university. We offered up to 4 shifts a week per instructor at £35 per hour (about $45 USD) and had no shortage of applicants, some with up to 8 years of experience. Nearly all had "day jobs" like nursing or hairstyling, and all commented on the difficulty of finding regular work.

    As someone who is not an instructor myself (but has practiced yoga for several years and is considering taking a YTT course next year), it made me reflect on the difficulties of the job i.e. getting frequent work and making a living from teaching. Because I'm emigrating from the UK this year, it also makes me wonder if conditions are better elsewhere in the world, perhaps in Scandinavia (where nearly all jobs pay enough for a good living), in tropical destinations like Bali or Costa Rica (where the price of lessons is no cheaper but the cost of living is), in a huge city like NYC or London (more studios=easier to find work, perhaps?), in rich locations like Switzerland or Dubai (salaries in general are very high), or maybe somewhere I'm not aware of that has far more students than teachers.

    Or maybe conditions are identical literally everywhere, but that would be equally interesting, so I'd love to hear back from anyone who has any experiences to share!

    Yoga Nidra! The king of relaxation!

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 03:00 PM PDT

    Hello there my lovely yogis. I wanted to make a post about yoga nidra. I have in the past, but this time I wanted to also offer a free audio recording of a yoga nidra session that is only 16 minutes long.

    Yoga nidra is a beautiful practice that involves lying on the back, sitting comfortably in a chair, or even standing! Yes, contrary to what most might say, you can practice the art of relaxation while standing. Once you lie down, or sit down, or... stand up, you just listen to instructions and stay away. The instructions are meant to guide you into a state of utter relaxation.

    Yoga nidra classes are generally 45 minutes long, but it is possible to do it in 30 or even 15 minutes. Today I wanted to share with you a practice I LITERALLY just recorded that is 15 (well... 16.29) minutes long. You're welcome to stay laying as long as you want after, but it is meant to be but a small taste of the potential of yoga nidra.

    I created this specifically for emailing to human resources of corporations so they could try it out and then eventually create more full blown recordings to sell to them for their employees to relax with. I figure, why not share it will my lovely reddit homies! So... here you go!

    Yoga blocks and cats?

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 11:28 AM PDT

    Hey all, I am not very flexible and it makes yoga quite difficult sometimes. I used to go to the gym for yoga, but now covid.

    I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for yoga blocks that can stand up to cats? My last set the cats tore apart, and I don't like to contribute a bunch of waste so I don't want to buy new ones just to meet the same fate.

    Nausea In Fish Pose

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 04:37 AM PDT

    Hi everyone. I am very new to yoga, I have been following some beginners YT videos with routines in yin and restorative yoga to help relieve tension in my body, get a good stretch and relax my mind. I am a very anxious person who holds a lot of physical and mental tension and everything has been going well so far. However I have a strange problem. Whenever I do fish pose (I have been using a block under my head and along my spine for support as instructed in the video), after a minute or so I feel extremely nauseous to the point where I can no longer hold the pose or continue the practice.

    Is this normal or at least common? Is it something that the pose can trigger or likely myself performing it incorrectly? Any advice?

    Upper back stretches led to neck crepitus

    Posted: 08 Oct 2020 09:59 AM PDT

    Hi everyone

    I suffer from costochondritis and ive been doing upper back stretches to keep it in check. However last week after one session, as I was getting off the floor and going on with my day. I started to hear alot of crunch and crackles in my neck. I learned its called crepitus, and I know the cause of it. But my question is. I never had that happen in my neck before and its still there. Whenever I turn my head to the right I would hear small clicks and snaps.

    Sometimes I hear it like the rice crispy cereal. Snap crackle pop. And whenever im walking, on every right step, i hear a very tiny crackle

    So i be concerned with it? Its something new, never had that happen to me before. Im in no pain, and I still have full movement of my neck. Its just the sound.

    I really wouldn't want to go back and see a doctor over this. I've visited so many to figure out i had costo, xray, ekg, ct scan etc...

    . Are there exercises or stretches for something like this?

    Thank you

    What kind of mat do I need?

    Posted: 07 Oct 2020 11:54 PM PDT

    I have started to get into yoga the last few months, and I really like it. My current mat, however, doesn't suffice, and I'd like to ask you for some advice.

    I know there are more posts about mats on r/yoga, but my type of body seems to ask for more specific advice.

    So what's the issue? 1. I'm about 35 kg overweight, so I need a large surface to lie on, as well as good support 2. My knees are really sensitive. Even table top is already painful after 10 seconds or so, even with towels underneath. So I need a very comfortable type of mat. 3. I do mostly yin yoga, but also do hatha and vinyasa at least once a week.

    For my knees, I'd lean towards a very thick mat. However, I also understood that thick mats are not great for Vinyasa types of yoga, because it impacts balance. Especially considering my weight, a thick mat could feel really unstable in certain vinyasa exercises. So what kind of thickness should I lean towards? Or do you think thickness is not relevant at all?

    Given my weight, I also need more than average grip in order to not slide away in downward facing dog for instance. What kind or requirements for 'slippiness' should I look for when I'm selecting a mat? Or do you think it the amount of grip doesn't really matter?

    Also, I'm wondering how large and wide my mat should be. I'm 1,85m when I lay down. Whenever I stretch long, I can easily reach the 2,30m mark. Should I buy at least a 2,30m long mat? Or is that too long? And how can I know how wide my mat should be?

    Yoga is one of the first sports I really enjoy and don't feel overwhelmed by, regardless of my weight. Therefore, I really hope you can help me out, because my knees are begging me for a better mat.

    Thanks a lot!
