    Question about butt cracks.

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 10:45 AM PST

    Not buttcracks, butt cracks.

    I (23 F 105 lbs) have 3 slipped disks in my lumbar spine from a traumatic injury. Slowly over the last 3 years, the pain has taken away soccer, snowboarding, running, now even walking can be too much. I tried a month of yoga classes earlier this year and even a beginner class left me in immobilizing pain. If I do too much of something, even something small like walking the dogs, I can't put weight on my right leg at all.

    The pressure and pain would build to a point where my body felt trapped in a painful, immobile cast. When the pain hardened to that intensity, I would stiffly lay down flat on my yoga mat, causing even more tension and pressure, and try to relax my pelvis. If I was lucky, this would trigger a large and intense crack in my butt and "drop" of my pelvis. I would feel very sore but relieved of the pressure.

    I've taken up yoga again with a focus on gentle and loving attention to my pelvis. I watched a few lumbar spine yoga videos for beginners for a baseline on what should and shouldn't be safe. A month ago, I could do 10% of the poses. Now I can do about half, which I have been able to modify and adapt for (what I hope is) a strengthening and restorative session.

    The result after about a month of slowly building a routine that reduces my sciatic pain and tension has been very strange. That deep, intense butt crack that used to be an indicator of my body's stress threshold... it comes out now whenever I squeeze my butt cheeks right over my coccyx.

    In cat/cow, when I arch up and tuck my pelvis in, I squeeze my coccyx and boom. My butt cracks.

    In tiger pose, as I raise my leg higher, opening my hip, and flexing my butt cheek to keep my hip stabilized, nothing happens. But if I squeeze my cheeks around my coccyx too? Loud butt cracks.

    Laying in bed, after stretching, if I engage my glutes, and then add in a coccyx squeeze too? You guessed it. My butt cracks.

    The cracks feel amazing, but the frequency at which my butt cracks is getting concerning.

    What is going on in my pelvis? Am I unknowingly doing Kegels? If this sensation is safe and healing, how can I keep up this progress of relieving the deep, dark rooted tension and pain in my butt?

    Thank you very much for reading.

    PS. I could have said 'pelvic region crack' or 'bottom crack' but I chose 'butt crack' because this is my traumatic injury and I will laugh about it if I want to :'-)

    Virtual yoga saved my practice

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:58 AM PST

    Anyone else?

    I can be in bed or doing chores till a few minutes before class and lay on the floor for as long as I want after. I am not very self motivated so live classes are essential to my practice but I also am a home body. I've been back into my practice for about a month now, doing 2-3 classes a week and haven't practiced this much since 2016 when I worked at a studio.

    I hope this aspect of the pandemic never goes away and there are always virtual options!

    Work From Home Yoga Positions On Floor: Any Suggestions?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:27 PM PST

    I built a desk the height of a coffee table so I could work sitting on the floor in hopes of staying flexible during the day. Any suggestion on yoga poses to work from and move between? I've been doing cow, straight legs, Malasana (but can't hold it for too long and my ankles still keep coming up), and kneeling.

    Looking for a few more that I could hold for 15-25 minutes without wearing myself out or hurting myself. Thanks!

    Does yoga helps to keep the back straight ?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 06:04 PM PST

    Hey. I am quite new to yoga and I am wondering if I can solve the problem I have. I can't keep my back straight, I am hunching over all time and I can't control that. I don't have any problems with health, it's kinda a habit. I am wondering if there are some exercises that can help me to solve that. What kind of then? And how long would I need to get some result? Thanks in advance!

    Lower back a mess: helpful back safe yoga exercises?

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 03:54 AM PST

    Guys,

    My lower back is a mess. I think it's SI related plus tight hams and weak glutes.

    I'm looking for some simple supine yoga exercises, that I can do lying on my back so my back is supported, that can open up my pelvic area, stretch my hams and glutes and quads and calves, and do it in a pretty gentle benign way.

    Can you recommend any exercise or positions for me?

    So far I have butterfly pose, supine pigeon pose, but anything you guys can help with will be much appreciated.

    Help me yoga Jedi people, you're my only hope...

    Recommendation Help for Newbie (Has no clue what I am doing haha)

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 08:06 AM PST

    Hi

    So I just joined and well with lockdown likely coming back I have committed to my family that I will be ending my tennis nights (since the game is moving inside increasing risk of exposure) and thought I could replace my weekly work out with yoga?

    So I was hoping I could get some help since this would be a complete new space for me. So information that might help: I am 30 (male body) - about 225lbs - ideally would want to do this to work out / replace a high intense sport that took 2 hours of my time. Muscles are rather lopsided (thanks tennis) on my right. I can also likely spend maybe $15 - $45 a month on this (am not opposed to spending to get in).

    I have never been very flexible, but I hope this helps change that! Thanks in advance for the recommendations.

    Yoga is beneficial for every aspect of life even maneuvering around public restrooms!

    Posted: 13 Nov 2020 07:32 AM PST

    I've been doing yoga for years and it has made a huge difference in every aspect of life. Getting into tight spaces and moving around in awkward positions that would otherwise have been impossible or dangerous. Most recently I am noticing that public restrooms their toilet paper dispensers are located in such awkward positions, it's never easy to access. I can't imagine how un-bendy people can manage. Maybe that's why public restrooms are often so unkempt, maybe people can't reach the toilet paper and they frustratingly shred it & toss it all over the place.
