    ANSWER TO "I HAVE STARTED PRACTISING YOGA BUT HOW TO BE CONSISTENT?!"

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 04:07 AM PDT

    There are few things that helped me to be consistent after a lot of inconsistency at the start-

    1. START SMALL- I used to do 10-15 mins of yoga so that it felt achievable to do daily. Then amplified it to 30-35 mins now. I'm still learning and growing. On those days when I have zero motivation and it feels like skipping a day won't matter, I just meditate or do 5-6 mins of strech.

    2. DO IT WITH SOMEONE/ USE AN INSTRUCTION APP/VIDEO- After trying multiple online sources, I finally found a youtube channel which has a wide variety of no-bullshit-talking yoga videos with detailed instructions.

    3. DO YOGA TO CONNECT WITH YOURSELF AND NOT JUST FOR PHYSICAL FITNESS- Yoga is a great way to release anxiety and stress and to clear your thoughts.

    4. DECIDE A DAY OR TWO IN A WEEK WHEN YOU KNOWINGLY NOT PRACTICING YOGA- Mindfully planning to do yoga on 5 days a week and taking a rest from the routine for 2 days.

    Hope this helps! I just wanted to put this out for anyone who is eager to start practising yoga but falling into the same traps that I used to. DON'T QUIT!

    (COMP) I can’t do child pose, puppy pose or basically anything. My back won’t do what it has to do, my shoulders can’t take pressure. I also seem to have issues with my hamstrings. All of this makes me wonder, where do I possibly start? My body is so weak.

    Parsvottanasana on ledge?

    Posted: 03 Jul 2021 02:14 AM PDT

    Hi there, I'm pretty new to yoga, been doing Iyengar for 2yrs+

    Recently started self-practice with a book. For a beginner's lesson, one of the asanas is to practise Parsvottanasana on ledge, but there's no picture nor instructions on what should go on the ledge.

    My head, my legs, my hands? A little guidance might help, thanks!

    Boyfriend’s legs fall asleep when stretching

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 11:30 PM PDT

    I was wondering if anyone knows why this happens or how to fix it? Some examples of when his legs fall asleep (numb and tingly) are when he sits on his butt with his legs straight, or tries to touch his toes while standing. It happens every time he stretches. He is super stiff and has basically zero flexibility. We go slow and he doesn't fully extend himself and it still happens.

    Trauma Informed Yoga Routines?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 02:12 PM PDT

    Hi guys!

    I am a 26 year old woman and a total newbie to yoga routines. Lately my psychologist is trying to help me reconnect with my body as I have a lot of somatic dissociation, and I think trauma informed yoga might be beneficial to get into. I see in the FAQ that Forrest yoga might be right for me, but I wanted to reach out to this community to see if anyone else has recommendations for trauma informed yoga routines to help me get started. Thanks so much in advance and much love :)

    Yoga instructor videos for beginners m/intermediate practitioners

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 10:05 PM PDT

    I've been practicing yoga for quite some time but I since the pandemic, I haven't had the chance to have a teacher up front teaching me and correcting my postures or teaching me new things. Are there any videos of instructors that teach yoga starting from the beginning that slowly progresses to intermediate sequences? I've stumbled upon an indian instructor on youtube before that teaches an hour long sequence but I can't seem to find it now. I do prefer/resonate more with indian or very spiritually based yoga instructors over instructors that teach stuff like bikram or like western style yoga. Maybe you guys know some videos? I dont mind if it's paid as long as it's authentic.

    Advice on practicing yoga with chronic pain

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 08:53 AM PDT

    I have chronic pain in my right hip, knees, ankles, lower back, neck, and wrists. I have no idea why really - been to the doctors but that was a dismissive whirlwind I don't want to revisit. ANYWAY, any advice on doing yoga with chronic pain? It feels easy to push myself into a pose but I think sometimes I overextend. How do you know when to go deeper and when to back off? Sometimes it feels good to go deeper but is accompanied by slightly more irritation afterwards. Do you think that is a good thing (i.e. means I'm really stretching it well)? Have those with chronic pain issues found a regular yoga practice that helps? If so, would you be willing to share some routines with me?

    Any tips from others (especially if you deal with chronic pain!) is highly appreciated. Thank you all my friends. I hope your day is lovely.

    'Coercion and rape': Investigating my yoga school

    Brick and mortar stores that sell bolsters?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:42 PM PDT

    I am extremely new to practice, but I've found restorative yoga to be incredibly helpful on multiple levels.

    I have a bolster from Amazon from a brand called Ajna that is great for many things, but just a little too firm to comfortably hold between my knees.

    I'd like something slightly softer, but not an actual pillow.

    Obviously Amazon has any number of them, but looking at the most recent reviews for every brand from Gaiam to Hugger Mugger/Manduka, it really looks like there is a quality control issue happening across the board. (Also not thrilled with the hugger mugger not having a washable cover.)

    I'd really like to be able to poke at a few in an actual store. I just have no idea what store this would be, as I didn't know yoga bolsters exited until a month ago. :)

    Extreme flexibility imbalance - is something wrong?

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 12:15 PM PDT

    So I've read a lot about how some flexibility imbalance between left and right is perfectly normal. However I think mine is really extreme and so I'm not sure the advice for normal imbalances is right for me.

    For instance, I can move my left leg easily into the "easy pose"/crossed leg position, and if I move it there and have my right leg off to the right instead of crossed into the left, I can, with complete ease, zero feeling of a stretch, keep my bum on the floor and fold my chest and head down to the floor. However, if I try to move my right leg into the "easy pose"/crossed leg position, I just physically can't get it there, and the stretch to even get it close is too painful. Same if I try to mirror the what I can do with my left. I can just about cross my legs if I lean very far back.

    I've been focusing on just stretching the right side, and yet it doesn't seem to be improving. It's frustrating because I can't do so many poses that half my body finds super easy.

    So I'm now wondering as it's only my right hip, and it's so extremely less flexible than my right hip, is it a "normal" imbalance, or a sign of something more serious?

    I'm hesitant to go to the doctor about it incase I'm just being silly and I just need a few more years of stretching to get them to match more closely. Especially as there's nothing else obviously wrong, no pain unless I stretch it too much.

    Should I just keep up with focusing on stretching my right side and not bother the doctor?

    Edit: I thought maybe it's worth adding that I've been told in the past that I'm "hypermobile" but based on a quick check of just some joints by a doctor. I was told that's why I easily get sprains... I'm wondering if maybe I at some point strained my right hip and somehow didn't notice and that's why it's tight? I might be totally wrong.

    Issues with new yoga teacher

    Posted: 02 Jul 2021 07:26 AM PDT

    Edit: Not a yin class. Each pose was held less than 30 seconds.

    So today in my "therapy" yoga class the yoga instructor led a slow breathing exercise for approximately ten minutes then had us go into double pigeon immediately after with no warm up and cow face pose and next a pancake split - all in the beginning. I am not naturally very flexible and have particularly stiff hips. Despite having done a hip opening class a few hours prior, double pigeon was intense for me with no warm up. From my understanding, you are supposed to warm up before attempting it. Am I wrong? This was supposed to be a beginner class, but she even had us doing archer's pose later in the class. Of course no one could even come close.

    Additionally, other people kept severely rounding their backs while doing pancake or pike, which my other instructors told me not to do. She did not fix anyone's backs or posture even when they looked like a C, and actually tried to tell me to go lower even though I couldn't without rounding.

    I have been attending this studio for about a year and am friendly with the owner (and quite enjoy her classes). I've never had problems with other teachers there either. The previous two teachers who taught thia therapy class were good - this current one has only been there about one or two months.

    She barely made adjustments during the class and everything felt much too intense and sudden considering it was supposed to be a beginner level therapy class (I have practiced yoga for two years by the way). I felt like she was using the class time as her personal stretching time. She is also super flexible and seems like she can't understand or make adjustments for less flexible people. I have been unsatisfied with her other classes before as well, but this was the first time I felt like she was just wrong.

    I am no expert on yoga or stretching - so I want to ask you guys. Am I right in thinking she led the class in an incorrect/possibly dangerous way? Should I voice my concerns to the owner?

    I over twisted in a seated chair pose last night-I’m feeling the results this morning. Pain in my mid back/back of ribs on my right side only. Is there anything I can do to relieve the pain besides “taking it easy”?
