    Post spinal fusion yoga?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 12:41 PM PST

    Hi, I'm new here so apologies if I've broken any rules by posting this, but I've been recommended yoga by my chiropractor to help me with persistent back pain caused by my scoliosis. I had corrective surgery for a pretty major curve (83°) 7 years ago so I'm as healed as I'm ever going to be from that now. I've read the scoliosis section of the FAQ, and I can't find anything there that includes post surgery yoga. Can anyone recommend me some videos or styles/poses to try? I've honestly no idea to start, and there are hardly any classes in my area (not that I could attend at the minute anyway bc covid)

    Much appreciated!

    Softest Leggings?

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 11:23 AM PST

    Hi everyone

    I am looking for the best (Black) yoga leggings that feel like more natural softer fabric.

    I currently own 3 pairs of Athleta Salutation I stash pockets, they are the perfect fabric. However their Salutation II stash pockets are a new fabric, not soft.

    I tried ALO soft, the blue was very soft, the black was a diff fabric and not soft.

    I have a very soft colorful Koala legging but they are extremely cheap slippery fabric.

    Please share what you wear. Here are requirements

    -high quality legging

    -fabric feels more natural

    -has good control/fit

    -is not LULU Lemon

    single kundalini yoga sessions make me feel like zombie, depressed and drained away all my life force.

    Posted: 04 Dec 2020 07:31 AM PST

    Hi everyone!

    me and my bf are on our paths to explore the spirituality, we in particular like doing kundalini yoga with Jai Dev - he is teaching lessons online, we also love he's lectures because he talks about phenomenal things so we try to do kundalini yoga.

    however... the aftershock is kinda not what I was looking for. I noticed that sometimes I get annoyed, irritated during the session or I get very depressed right after, I usually tried to shake that feeling off by blaming on other things. However this time I started noticing episodes of my mental illness are kinda coming back, I feel no physical or mental energy, no motivation, I can't stay focused and I just sleep all the time, I remember before kundalini yoga I was doing a few days ago I was feeling just great and full of love. I also injured myself real bad ... my bf reports he started feeling his anxiety are back after we did kundalini yoga a few days ago.

    My question is.. should we stop doing it? do we need to power through? do we need better preparation? are we doing it wrong? do we need to do it more often?I feel like the energy we unlocked are not good for us.

    Help?! Too much bending over from gardening

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 11:19 PM PST

    Hey guys can anyone help with recommending some yoga poses? Here is my dilemma..

    I work outside as a landscape gardener and my job involves bending over alot. Whether it be bending over to dig holes in order to plant plants or bending over to lay grass in peoples back gardens or digging up Christmas trees and planting anything from small to big trees.

    Although the job does keep me fit and strong theres a fine line because it is starting to give me problems.

    I am in pain now when I'm bending over and I think I've developed sciatica, however, it started on my left side and has now moved to my right side and I would say its mild and at the beginning and nothing alot of rest could not solve. I'd be willing to quit my job for the winter and focus on getting right and up-ing my yoga game.

    So... anyone know any yoga poses that can help me correct myself from all the years of bending over?

    Thanks Namaste 🙏

    Yoga videos for men (youtube channel)

    Posted: 03 Dec 2020 11:16 PM PST

    Before this gets criticism, these videos can be followed by women or others as well. Just from my experience, I hadn't found the popular youtube yoga videos to be engaging as they weren't breaking me into sweat. I found this channel Breath and Flow about a month ago https://www.youtube.com/c/BreatheandFlow They have some easy going and hard core videos as well. I used to do P90x yoga but I would find the 1:30hr too long. The tutorials by Flo will make you work and they are short (havent watched Bre much) I just felt they deserved a bit more attention in the yoga community!
