| Random thoughts: Getting back into it after a while and here's my experience this time. Posted: 05 Jul 2021 08:38 PM PDT I am Indian. Have done some non-structured yoga on my own ever since I was 12-13; I am 40 now. Started Ashtanga several years ago (~10) and had a teacher. That did not work out for several reasons...it was 20 minutes' drive away and I hated getting up early and commuting: also, no consistent improvements for motivation back then. Also, did not think I need to self-practice most of the times...like what Ashtanga is supposed to be. Covid has damaged me! Been feeling incredibly stressed...quite often, about nothing! I talk to a counselor (been talking for 3 years now), but that hasn't helped. I randomly decided to do the full first full series 10 days ago ('K Pattabhi Jois in LA' video on YouTube) and it was the first time I had this deep an implication on my mental state from a physical exercise, ever! Haven't felt this relaxed in the longest time! I am stressing my joints and muscles though; there is pain...I just got Penetrex, Blue-Emu and Biofreeze to help me get to it every morning. Not able to get into all the poses fully, more so now than several years ago, but I have been spending ~2 hours every morning for the last 10 days to get to the end. More importantly, body has changed a lot and it felt like I must move all the muscles in my body and do this every day to get rid of the aches and pains, but most importantly, I feel relaxed! I stared doing Pranayama as well; hopefully, I see enough to keep doing it too. Here's to us all - to get us on the mat every morning, afternoon, or evening...be it rain or sunshine!

| Posted: 05 Jul 2021 09:44 PM PDT Hi! I injured my right wrist after twisting it in the wrong direction while lifting a heavy object. I applied cold compress several times and gave it some rest for about a month now. I also stopped doing yoga. Now, I want to return to my practice, but I cannot even do a proper Chaturanga because of the slight but tolerable pain on my wrist. Do you have any advice on what I can do to rehabilitate my wrist and return to my practice? TYIA! [link] [comments] |
| Posted: 05 Jul 2021 01:31 PM PDT hi community! Hello! Greetings to everyone, (new here) I'm here to tell you how was my experience doing Yoga. I admit that my passion is to train with weights; but I also think it's good to try different disciplines, so I decided to look for different classes online and I found a site where there are live sessions every day (which is great) here it is: onlive.co/yoga It was an excellent experience and I am determined to practice Yoga once a week :) to release body tensions and stretch the muscles. any comments are welcome!!! :))) [link] [comments] |
