Ashtanga yoga: Yoga causing strong emotions to erupt |
| Yoga causing strong emotions to erupt Posted: 16 Nov 2020 11:36 PM PST Have you found that more yoga practise results in deep set emotions coming to the surface? The last few months I've been more consistent in ashtanga practise, and have noticed really deep emotions and beliefs erupting.. feelings of deep rooted fear, self judgment, anxiety and pain.. Is this normal? What was your experience like? [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 16 Nov 2020 03:42 AM PST Hey guys! I've been practicing yoga for years but i'm fairly new to ashtanga. I started about a month or 2 ago. I've been keeping true to the 6 day week practice. I've "progressed" fairly quick I guess.. as I've been taught the full primary series in less than 3 weeks? My teacher told me my body was very flexible and that she has much to show me but I need to gain some strength. At the start it was great! My energy was up, my body felt great but more recently I'm noticing otherwise. My knees are quite sore. I meditate and often when I get up from a 30 minute meditation my knees are so so stiff. This is new to me. My shoulders are constantly sore. Swinging my arms up overhead I'm incredibly stiff. Because of this soreness and stiffness I find myself cutting off my practice around marichyasana D sometimes sooner because I just don't want to go into half lotus again. I feel angry during my practice sometimes. It's like the fire just comes out. I find sometimes that fire can carry out after the practice is over.. I might be quick to react to something. Has anyone else notices this? Basically I feel I learn a lot during my practice. I notice things come up for me. I like having a set sequence to do but I'm wondering if I should keep up with this? If the knee pain will go away and if the shoulder stiffness with subside as I gain strength? How about the fire inside me? Have any ashtangis found they handle frustration and anger a little better with practice? Did it come up full force at the start? Are there any modifications you'd recommend or perhaps engagements so that I can continue as normal? I keep going back and forth like.. Maybe this practice isn't for me? But yet I keep going back to it even if my body is tired I just cut it really short and try to listen to my body. I feel maybe I learned to much in a short time that my body can't keep up with it? Like it seems quite crazy for my to do full primary daily. I'm not sure I would be able to handle it. I'm not sure 100% what I'm asking. Maybe advice? Did anyone else find themselves in a similar situation? How did you handle it? Should I continue? Should I modify? Will the pain subside? Should I attempt full primary as much as I can or should I take a step back and slowly work my way to it? Open to anything you'd like to share with me! [link] [comments] |
