How to not feel like yoga is another thing on my to do list
I started getting back into my yoga practice in the fall. When I moved in October I paused my studio membership to not have the extra financial burden during that time. I’ve come off of freeze and I’m just so busy and have so little time. I work full time at an orangetheory fitness and haven’t even taken class there in almost 4 weeks. I’m also studying for my MCAT so that’s where any extra time an energy outside of work goes. I know I need some yoga in my life for some stress reduction and self care. But trying to plan when I can take a class just feels like another thing to check off the list at this point so I’m not motivated to make it a priority. Any tips?

Are there poses that you're still having difficulties with even after years of practice?
It's my 10th year of doing yoga (yay!). In the beginning, I practiced weekly and then it became at least twice a day. Pandemic happened and I started skipping days but I still try to practice consistently. After 10 years, I still can't do the crow pose and other arm balances but I'm happy with my yoga journey.

Cold shower after yoga? Good or bad?
Hey guys, This year I wanna start doing a morning routine, to develop discipline and do more yoga. I was thinking of doing 60 minutes of Jivamukti Spiritual Warrior class and then taking a cold shower. I've heard yogi's say it's very important to keep the heat generated by your yoga session in your body, and not cool off too fast. Is there any truth in this, or anything in the scriptures?

Tips for lotus pose?
I've been putting both feet on the top of my thighs towards the hips and I keep by back straight. It feels totally fine so far, I don't feel like I'm straining, but I want to make sure I'm doing it correctly so I don't injure myself. I'm reading conflicting things online, some say it's safe to do for long periods of time, some say it wears out your joints. I find it to be a very enjoyable pose, so I'd like to do it often.

Spine Surgery Yoga
Good morning all! I had a C 4/5 and C 5/6 artificial disk replacement done in December 2021. I went through various physical therapies from February 2022 until early December 2022. These included traditional pt, aquatic therapy, dry needling, aromatherapy, and the use of a TENS Unit at home along with other tools. My girlfriend has been taking me to her Yin Yoga class lately and it’s been a great help to the muscle tension I still suffer from in my neck and trapezius area especially. Can anyone recommend any other classes that would be easy enough physically where I could do the poses, but tough enough to give me a workout targeted to the neck/upper back region? Thanks in advance!
