Yoga practice in Hollywood Posted: 09 Aug 2021 04:38 PM PDT Hi does anyone know of any small in person or video groups in the LA area. Beginner or intermediate groups preferably. I've been watching youtube video to guide my practice but would like to meet up with people for free if you guys are down. I would love to meet some new yoga buddies 👍🏼🦋 submitted by /u/Sunshine_eyez [link] [comments]

Sore Lats?! Posted: 09 Aug 2021 02:40 PM PDT Hey everyone, rotating currently between heavy leg practices and heavy upper body vinyasa classes. Yesterday I did a 60 min strong flow with maybe about 50 total down dogs to chatarangas. My lats are on fire today! :) I didn't know down dog worked lats so much? Or is it just me submitted by /u/OpenelonmuskAI [link] [comments]

Practicing yoga for 1 hour, 1x a week vs 20 minutes, 3x a week? Posted: 09 Aug 2021 09:48 AM PDT I recently switched my practice from doing an hour session, once a week to doing 20 minute sessions 3x a week. I was wondering if there's any benefit in spacing the practices out like I've been doing, or if it all ends up being equivalent? Just curiosity, thanks! submitted by /u/indifferentials [link] [comments]

CPR Cert for Yoga instructors? Posted: 09 Aug 2021 09:32 AM PDT Yoga instructors, do you maintain your CPR Certification? Why or why not? submitted by /u/muffin_man800 [link] [comments]

Virtual practice partner(s) Posted: 09 Aug 2021 09:35 AM PDT Hey yogis! I have been going to an iyengar yoga class consistently for the past year. However I have never been able to establish a daily home routine. To overcome this, I was thinking about finding virtual practice partner(s) with whom I can do a 30min yoga around 7:30am central time. Needless to say, I am not looking for an instructor, I just need the sense of accountability and the joy of sharing my practice time with another yogi. If this interests you, please send me a message. Namaste 🙏 submitted by /u/mmforoozesh [link] [comments]

Holding to a standard of grace Posted: 08 Aug 2021 10:03 PM PDT With yoga I learn all is grace, not perfection & grace is all that matters . I don't need to be perfect in my posture or in the way I deal with evryday life but I'm at grace as I'm at my best possible effort , and that's good enough. So yoga is embracing your best self, your best effort … it kills anxiety as you're no more focused on perfection, or competition , or end goal .. you can relax & be graceful as you're jus focused on your own way of doing things in the the most possible perfect manner. & that's all that matters. So much of burden has gone off me in everyday day just as I embraced yoga & embraced grace ! submitted by /u/summermate [link] [comments]

Shoulder bursitis Posted: 09 Aug 2021 07:47 AM PDT Hi. I have a daily practice and have been doing more intense sessions lately. Now I've got bursitis in my left shoulder, so I'm telling myself no down dogs or planks and the like for a week. 2 questions: can you do sweaty yoga without those types of poses and does anyone have experience with shoulder bursitis? Thanks! submitted by /u/readingnowbye [link] [comments]

How do you train your hands for yoga? Posted: 09 Aug 2021 05:36 AM PDT I'm generally fit and healthy (F27) with an on and off asana practice, but my hands are hyperflexible and apparently too weak for yoga. They have been hurting ever since I tried to set up a daily practice in February. I didn't do anything extreme - just some chatturangas, but somehow my thumb joint got injured and never fully healed because it's hard to rest your hands. Now an MRI shows widespread inflammation and I'm in constant pain when washing my hands, getting dressed etc.. my doctor prescribed ice and hand physiotherapy and we're all trying to figure out a way I can gently strengthen my hands for push ups. While I can't wait to get back on the mat for the rest of my body, I thought I could gently train my hands in the mean time. Does anyone have advice on strengthening your hands for yoga? And yes, I always focused on distributing the weight through my fingers. Thank you! submitted by /u/Paintthisfox [link] [comments]
