    Yoga: Down Dog made me cry

    Down Dog made me cry

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 10:49 AM PDT

    I really wanted to share this. It made my heart happy.

    So I finished a short practice on the Down Dog app & then it popped up with the typical "rate this app" stuff. It also popped up with the option to pay for the year subscription. I clicked no because I'm broke & COVID totally ruined my lifefinances. There was another option at that point to explain why I didn't buy the subscription. So I explained that I was laid off during COVID & haven't been able to find a job that pays similar to my old one.

    Next thing I know I have an email saying I've been given 6 months free & they're "happy to help!"

    It made me tear up. :') I just wanted to share this positive experience, it really made my day!

    Still feeling like a beginner

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 11:16 AM PDT

    Hi all, I've been lurking in this community for a while now but this is my first post. Sorry in advance for the length, I just really need some advice. Yoga has changed my life and I don't want to grow to resent it.

    I just turned off a yoga video, crying because I'm so frustrated. Basically, I've been practicing yoga for about nine months now (since Sept. 2020) and I was feeling really great about it probably three months ago; I had achieved my first headstand, I felt like I had proper form, I felt relaxed after every practice and like I knew myself better and felt like overall yoga was contributing to me being a better person. I should add that since I began yoga when COVID was still causing my country to be in lockdown, I haven't yet gone to an in-person class (fitness classes are still not allowed where I am).

    However, I realized while practicing that my form for something was slightly off and when I adjusted it the pose finally felt like I imagined it should have. This led to me becoming kind of obsessed with correcting my posture 24/7. I wasn't focusing on how it felt inside at all, just how things felt physically and whether that's how they were "supposed" to feel. I removed the mirror that faced me during practice so I wouldn't be able to look in it 24/7 trying to see if I was doing it "right", but now instead I find myself pausing videos to correct my posture and get certain poses right.

    I'm also struggling with the idea that, for me, a few days off from yoga makes it twice as difficult to really get back into it. Life has gotten really busy for me with school and work and I haven't had as much time to put into my practice, and whenever I dive back in after a couple days off everything is so much more difficult. I feel like I'm not progressing at all. I still feel like a beginner. I still feel like basic poses are hard for me to do/I don't know if I'm doing them correctly and I keep having to pause videos so I can slow the flow down.

    I guess I just don't know what to do. I truly feel like sometimes I need to adjust my poses for them to be technically correct/to get anything out of them, but I feel that my obsession with the technical side is taking away from my practice. I also feel like I've regressed and I know that that feeling is completely tied to ego but it's just discouraging doing forward folds and realizing that just a couple days off from yoga has caused my balance to falter or has made other things more difficult than they were just a few days prior. I guess I just feel like my mentality is getting in the way of everything and I don't know how to get over it. I just really wanted to know if anyone has ever felt similar or has any advice for me, because I really REALLY don't want to stop doing the thing that has made the biggest difference in my life because I can't get over my own frustrations.

    TIA!

    Tl;dr: I feel like I'm focusing on the technical aspect of yoga because I feel like a beginner who can't seem to nail basic poses even though I've been practicing for a little while. I want to get past this mentality because I feel like it's really taking away from yoga and I don't want to end up resenting it. Need advice about anything regarding this, would also love to hear your personal experiences so I don't feel alone!!

    Is there any particular way to become more flexible through doing yoga or does it just kinda happen after a while?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 10:19 AM PDT

    Like, when you can go from hardly being able to bend your core to the ground to being able to fold your body like you wanna fit in a mailbox. Is this a completely gradual process? Practice yoga over a few months kinda deal or are there interesting ways to push yourself that could put you somewhere remarkable quicker than a while from when you start?

    I'm pretty new to this, but very excited for all of it!! Thank y'all for taking a minute to help a bro!!

    Stuck / Negative Thoughts

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 04:33 AM PDT

    Hesistated a fair bit before deciding to put out this. I know it goes against everything yoga is about, but I need some help.

    I've been casually doing yoga for a while, attending classes at studios for a while. Recently, I've started to feel quite inadequate about myself and my progress and have taken a step back from yoga. I know the smart and logical thing to do is to keep practising to get better, but I just feel so stuck at this point. Have any of you ever felt this way? How did you get out of this? Thank you so much.

    How to keep my mat clean?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 10:29 AM PDT

    Hey :) I've just gotten into yoga 3 days ago, did my first sets at home and today my mat finally arrived via mail. Now after I've done my „flow" I've noticed I've sweated quite a bit and was wondering what the best way was to clean the mat after sessions. Also I'd highly appreciate general tips on what u wish u knew when u first started doing yoga. Thanks for any help :)

    Not only Sun Salutations?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 07:55 AM PDT

    OK we all know Surya Namaskar! And some also know Chandra Namaskar but there are other similar sequences, I have heard. It seems there are books detailing these Salutations but the Yoga teacher who spoke with me about this topic cannot remember the title. Please help this little pig to find the correct information!

    Storing mat in hot car?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 12:53 PM PDT

    Is it a bad idea to keep a yoga mat in a car that gets hot from the summer heat? Will it damage the mat?

    It's under a cover in the rear of the car, and not exposed to sunlight.

    I'm planning on participating in a month-long yoga retreat in a few months - something I've never done before. Any advice?

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 07:21 AM PDT

    I've never travelled internationally before, never even had a passport. Due to some pretty intense life changes I feel as though I'm in serious need of an escape to a new, peaceful place to reset myself mentally, physically and spiritually. I found what looks to be a suitable yoga retreat on the opposite side of the planet and while I'm intimidated by the whole notion of travelling so far and for so long - I'm looking forward to it more than anything.

    Any advice for me would be appreciated. Thanks y'all!

    Trouble sleeping after asana practice

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 08:23 AM PDT

    Hello!

    I have been practicing for about a few years now and I am beginning to really notice that on good days where the asana practice really feels connected, I often have trouble sleeping that same night. It doesn't really seem to make a difference if the practice was in the morning or the afternoon.

    I will feel very relaxed but also feel a lot of energy buzzing around my body that doesn't let me sleep. Sometimes the sensation is too intense and I actually have to get out of bed and move around.

    Does this happen to anyone else? Any advice?

    Good Morning and Introductions.

    Posted: 09 Jun 2021 08:16 AM PDT

    Hi. :) I've been doing yoga off and on for a few years now, and finally found this sub! Got a question for you veterans. I am interested in creating my own routine(s), I love guided videos but I would like the freedom to make my own, plus it helps me when I do my own routines cause I know my limits and what I can or can't do yet. So what do you suggest for me to build my own routines?
