    Yoga continues to save my wretched life. I posted this last night on r/stopdrinking

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 01:33 AM PDT

    God I came close tonight

    in london on business from usa. pubs have just opened. it's scorching hot. i used to love drinking in the pubs here when I lived here. the conversation is top notch. and the lager is fine.

    So i'm walking around London and I have a sudden urge to do yoga. (i am addicted to that too). And i can't book a class online. and i start to get frantic about booking a class. the French girl at reception helped me. god bless her.

    and then i realize that the franticness is brought on by a sudden urge to get completely fucked up. like now. it was like the addiction demon was screaming at me. I broke down crying at the hotel reception and the French girl got me a cab to a hot yoga studio.

    I was shaking and in tears when i got to the yoga studio. they were very nice.

    i made it though the hot yoga class and broke down sobbing again. it was embarrassing but i didn't care.

    i don't ever get cravings to have one drink. i thought i was kind of free and clear and this surprise happened. i am on my own so i would have drunk and coked myself to death perhaps. and i knew that.

    I thought of all the shit i've gone through. detox. rehab. psychiatric wards. in the past two years.

    i'm here in my hotel room still red eyed. but not from drinking.

    anyway. no drinking dumbass limey beer for me! IWNDWYT

    I went to my first yoga class ever today

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 01:46 PM PDT

    As a male in my 20s I was a bit worried that I'd be the only guy there, but surprisingly there over half the class were male.

    I would definitely recommend it to anyone who is nervous about going. This was the first yoga I had ever done and there was no pressure to perform at all, everything is done at your own pace and within your own abilities.

    I will obviously make it a weekly thing from now on!

    Private student begins by overstepping boundaries

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 03:44 AM PDT

    Without getting too into it, I recently started teaching private yoga. A healthcare provider I know through family recently bought a 10-session meditation package to deal with grief. We had an initial consult and meditation session that went well. As soon as a check was written after that session however, this student has flaunted their financial status, asked me to coffee, requested I stay in touch via text/email, asked about my marital status, and asked for a hug next time we meet for a session, citing emotional difficulty as need for physical contact. All of this goes outside my personal ethics and I finally told them so. I received an invite via text to coffee and basically said anything outside our discussed meditation package goes outside my professional and ethical scope for both of our safety.

    I've not received a response from the client since. My main concerns are what to do if this continues, especially as I've already cashed their check and put the funds towards other expenses. Is it within my bounds if this behavior continues to cancel our work together? I would of course refund if needed, just sucks my first private client is making things uncomfortable. Not only that, it freaks me out how quickly I am questioning MYSELF for having boundaries, wondering if I was overreacting, etc. There is no doubt I feel uncomfortable but I'm over here concerned about offending this client who is pushing boundaries.

    Anyone been in a similar spot or have advice? AM I overreacting? We are not supposed to have any sessions until next month but I have no idea how to proceed.

    Yoga for fighters?

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 06:38 PM PDT

    Being a noob to yoga I'm not very knowledgeable in this world. I was curious if there were any specific yoga styles that would be more beneficial for someone training MMA? Are there any drawbacks for a fighter that stem from practicing yoga regularly? Anybody else have experience doing both simultaneously?

    Weightlifting and Yoga

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 08:28 AM PDT

    Before Yoga, I just did the normal gym routine. Cardio and weight training. I'm now practicing Yoga 6 days a week and continuing my gym routine (about 6 months now of this)

    It's hard to balance push, pull, upper body, lower body days when I'm also getting a full body workout when doing yoga.

    I'm seeing improvement in both areas, upping weights and better form and strength in certain poses.

    Weight trainers and body builders, how do you manage both? Just keep your normal schedule or do you work more that isn't tired from your other activities and "feel it out"?

    (I just don't want to over train. I'm not there yet but am starting to feel like it isn't worth lifting as much.)

    Why do my knees have to ruin everything… And now my wrists. A few questions about dealing with inflammation and inability to put weight on knees and wrists. Also how to build strength. (I am seeking medical advice and PT, but would love to hear from yogis).

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 07:51 AM PDT

    Hi all! I love yoga so much but it looks like every attempt to really get into it is ruined by the fact that I cannot put weight on my knees. I can do lotus pose, twist things and am actually quite flexible, don't get pain in standing poses. But when I put weight on knees, I feel this lingering pain or soreness the same night or next day on top of patella. My left knee is worse which I think could be related to the fact that my left side is more stiff.

    I did yoga 3 years ago but had to give up due to knee pain. The pain disappeared completely once I did not do yoga poses that put weight on the knee.

    I am trying again now but additionally noticing my wrists are inflamed, so basic stuff like down dog, table top, planks, has become something I dread. I am experimenting with standing poses only and creating my own sequence that avoids these poses. I feel like I can never take a "mainstream" yoga class for this reason.

    So I'd love to hear from others re knee and wrist pain and building strength. Any good tips on how to build strength in wrists? I know knees are connected to all surrounding muscles and I am doing more squats, back step lunges and pt exercises. I am also using knee pads, knee mat, and block to support the knee. But it's a huge hassle and knee still is not happy after. The patella always bothers me.

    Is there a way to get stronger or is this something I have to deal with? Any YouTube videos or exercise tips would be appreciated. I am out of shape, have always been skinny fat and not athletic and my job is sedentary, so I feel like I lack basic core and leg strength for beginner yoga, not sure if that is true though. Trying really hard to make it happen despite these obstacles. Thanks for reading.

    I love yin yoga - during the pandemic - I noticed some new tightness in my body. I am hoping I can get back into into my rhythm.

    How on earth do you tolerate hot yoga? I want to love it, but can’t seem to ever hydrate well enough.

    Posted: 21 Jul 2021 07:14 AM PDT

    Hot yoga left me with a 3 day headache. I tried hydrating, I tried electrolyte drinks (not Gatorade).

    But my favorite class is power II, and it's in a 93ish degree room, and usually I'm OK after, but if I slip up at all with drinking water - I get the 3 day headache again.

    What gives? Am I actually just super dehydrated or am I doing something wrong? Does it get better?

    I really enjoy the physical and mental aspects of what I'm doing, but the headaches just suck.

    Newbie to reddit

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 08:20 PM PDT

    I just created an acct after perusing this sub.. just to participate/interact more! It never dawned on me to look around reddit for yoga info. This community seems so awesome~ I am loving the posts & the yoga philosophy information, the COMPS, all of it & I juuuust have to sayyy, it made me SO shocked & excited to see how many lovers of the Down Dog app there are here:D. I downloaded it after my regular irl spin & yoga classes were put on hold(lockdowns) & they had the free trial. My Practice has totally taken off since. I have this deep love for it now, my life is just so complete & I can't imagine not having it be a part of my day to day. I do take live classes on Insta, pay for zoom.. I've gone back to studios now but I forever will have a near daily practice w my DownDog<3, lol. My precious, like the one ring. :) Nice to meet you all, have a great week!

    A question about the gayatri mantra

    Posted: 20 Jul 2021 11:28 PM PDT

    I have a question about the gayatri mantra ,

    So actually i heard this mantra purpose is always for good

    But i heard a story about Brahmastra nuclear Weapon energized by the gayatri mantra

    " Brahmastra (Sanskrit: ब्रह्‍मास्‍त्र, Brahmāstra) was a weapon created by the creator Brahma, for the purpose of upholding Dharma and Satya (truth).

    When the Brahmastra was discharged, there was neither a counterattack nor a defense that could stop it, except by Brahmadanda, a stick also created by Brahma.

    It could be evoked by user after severe concentration and meditating on its creator and could be used only once in a day to destroy an enemy, who could not be defeated by any other means."

    So basically this mantra prayer can be use for harming? :/
