    [COMP] more dropback practice!! with a cameo from my dog :) <3

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:42 AM PDT

    Last year I made a commitment to myself and to my practice. I wanted to share with my fellow yogis, as I am kind of proud of myself. Namaste.

    [COMP] Still have work to do

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:18 AM PDT

    I don't have a picture, and I don't know exactly for how long, but I held my first headstand today!

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:10 PM PDT

    I've found yoga paired with Barre Blend is an amazing combo for both balance and strength, and I'm making improvements in both nearly daily. So I decided I needed to start challenging myself a bit more, and recently I pushed myself out of my comfort zone with Adriene and started checking out other YouTube channels.

    One channel I like is Breathe and Flow - a cute married couple. Anyways, their stuff is tough, yet every time I try out a new video, I gain just a little more somewhere.

    Today I held my headstand for the first time, and I was able to hold it through the entire pose. I am stoked! I didn't start the headstand from Prasarita Padottanasana (I'm trying to learn correct terms, but I did have to look that up), but I'll get there.

    I'm just so excited and had to share.

    God Bless!

    Back to the mat

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:17 PM PDT

    Today I got up and got my mat out. It's probably been well over a month, I'm by no means a regular practitioner but I'd been starting to build some commitment to myself for turning up at least once or twice a week. Everything seemed to have stopped me, a niggly knee injury that flared up, long days at work with a heavy sense of responsibility, eating too much, not eating enough, a glass of wine, tired, flat, exhausted, unwell. Today I feel emotional and a bit tender but I did it and I feel better for giving some time back to me to just show up. It wasn't the best practice, I feel out of shape and wobbled everywhere but it's what I needed to remind myself to just do what I can and once I'm there it's not so bad. Maybe this speaks to someone else out there and if so just do a little bit. You'll feel better for it. I really want to thank everyone in this community, it's coming here that helps me to reset when life gets wobbly ( clearly the emotional part is still sitting with me today but I'm leaning into it 🙂)

    Does anyone have experience with medicine wheels/drum circles

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:45 PM PDT

    So I know this is super super hippie dippie. I post this question here because, where I'm moving, there's a yoga studio near me that offers a "Medicine Wheel and Healing Drum Circle" session once a month.

    I guess it's a form of interactive meditation with the drums and do some journaling on some prompts on the medicine wheel. Again, super hippie dippie....but I'm kind of super interested? Which is weird because I'm such a natural introvert and can't normally see myself at these kinds of things.

    I'm just curious of other yogis have experiences similar and if it's worth trying/doing. I think the fact a yoga studio is offering it really piqued my interest, since I'm sure there's some yogic and meditative benefit behind it.

    Teachers you follow on Glo yoga app?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 06:51 PM PDT

    This question is for users of the Glo yoga app: which teachers do you follow and why? I prefer energizing vinyasa based styles with focus on alignment, hoping to improve my strength and flexibility. I have found that the range and style of teachers varies very widely (even when I only select Vinyasa classes) and I would like to minimize the time trying out different teachers to find that their style is different from what I am looking for. So far I am liking classes from Jason Crandell, Dice Iida Klein and Taylor Harkness.

    Cork mat anyone?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 07:15 PM PDT

    Been hearing a lot of chatter with cork mats being the way to go with hot and sweaty practice like bikram. Anyone have a cork mat that would like to share their insight?

    May progress! So proud of myself for keeping up yoga this month. I'm actually committed to a routine finally. It feels so great.

    Beach Yoga?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 12:29 PM PDT

    I wanna do yoga on the beach but am unsure if I should bring my mat or towel or just do it on sand. Is it as good as it sounds? What is the best time to go? Any tips are appreciated

    So I can hold Halasana for 5 minutes and I’m a beginner.

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 01:26 PM PDT

    Could I hold it up to 10 minutes or would that be bad?

    What’s “raja” yoga?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 11:28 AM PDT

    And can I start doing it immediately? I'm physically fit by the way if that matters.

    Can you tell me a good Down Dog Yoga Routine?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 08:40 AM PDT

    I ask this question specifically to down dog users on this sub. I have been using this app on/ off since last year but it's been a week that I have started doing it seriously and also on a regular basis. As users, you all already know that there are lots of types of yoga, stressing on specific sections, in short, lots if features to enhance your yoga experience. But with too many features comes some confusion. I want to have like a set routine of yoga as an everyday practice. When to do full practice when to do gentle when to do restoration. Specific focus on body parts... It's a big thing to ask, but I'm certain that whoever here uses the app or has been using the app for a quite some time now as daily practice must have a set routine better than mine.

    ​

    Edit: Forgot to mention, I'm at intermediate 1.

    YTT guilt/regret

    Posted: 31 May 2021 08:19 PM PDT

    I completed a teacher training last Summer and I find that, almost a year later, I have a lot of guilt around it.

    Firstly, I feel like there was so much that I did not learn — perhaps it was the format, or perhaps I had excessively high expectations, but I didn't/don't feel prepared to teach. I've been coaching sports for over a decade, so I'm no stranger to teaching movement, and yet I feel very uncertain about this (even though I've practiced for over a decade as well).

    Secondly, it also occurred to me that teacher trainings may be less about training teachers and more about… acting as revenue streams for studios. I realize this is on me — I should have done better research into trainings and sought out one that I was more aligned with. In fact, I found one, but it was cancelled due to COVID and I was too impatient to wait another year.

    Thirdly — and this is the big one — I don't really see what I have to offer. Yoga teachers are a dime a dozen it seems, and what could I possibly offer that someone else can't? Regardless of how long I have practiced, it's not like I suddenly know more than the average class attendee. On top of that, I'm struggling with the concept of being a white male who is making money from an appropriated cultural practice — again, what right do I have to claim deeper knowledge of something than someone else?

    I realize this is far more complex than what I have written here. At the same time, now that I am on the other side of a teacher training, I see how problematic it was — maybe not for everyone everywhere, but my experience certainly was.

    So, the question: how do you navigate whatever complexities you run up against as a teacher? How do you come to terms with whatever is dredged up? Even more simply, what would you do if you were me, or what advice would you offer to unpack all this? I feel guilty about it all: for spending the money on something that didn't really meet my expectations, for claiming a title or certification of something I don't feel I have the right to claim knowledge about, and not knowing how to move forward with a practice. It seems like the only solution is to continue to practice for myself, and by myself.

    Any tips?

    Posted: 01 Jun 2021 04:23 AM PDT

    I'm very passionate about yoga and I enjoy but whenever I want to focus on my flexibility I get really frustrated because I can't seem to get any more flexible and I don't know how to improve so I take a break because of the frustration :( I want to look at my own progress photos months or years from now but I can't seem to push myself to go through /: any tips would be very much appreciated!!
