I have been getting into yoga over the past couple months. Feel so much more at peace in my mind.
I have felt so much more motivated over everything, and with the amount of stress and hardships I’ve been struggling with, yoga is like an escape. Oftentimes, doing yoga, I will start tearing up happy tears just by the breathing, challenging stretching, intense peace of mind. It’s a beautiful bundle of all feelings good in one single session of yoga, that I cannot help but release the good. I simply let go, it’s like an opening in my mind, a strong awareness of life’s greatness. An awareness in my body, a loving for my body. I’ve had many hobbies that have come in go, but yoga is something I don’t think I can ever abandon now. I am beyond happy I’ve discovered this. I had to share this with someone, anyone! Thanks so much for reading!!

Yoga Treat Sleeping Arrangements
Hi! I’m attending a luxury yoga retreat this month. The pricing was straight forward. A certain dollar amount for a non-ocean view room, and a few hundred dollar upcharge for an ocean view room. We recently received room assignments (I’m traveling solo), and I realized that I’m sharing a room with 2 other people instead of one. Judging off the room assignments, many other people are sharing non-ocean view rooms with just one other person for the same price. Additionally, I think one of the beds in my room is a day bed or even a cot versus an actual bed. Honestly, I’m feeling like this is unfair and kind of bummed. Should I be upset? Should I ask for some sort of discount? Thanks in advance for the advice.

Acupressure/Meditation hat startup!
I know it sounds like a gimmick but I made this by hand and I think it’s legit. The plastic needles go on your forehead region allowing you to easily enter a state of meditation vs on your own. There is slight good pain for a few minutes and then your skin adapts to it and relaxes like acupuncture [acupressure hat](https://medipressure-hats.myshopify.com/)

Feeling awkward giving assist
I’m in the teacher training 200 hour course and I’d honestly rather teach a whole class alone blindfolded than do assists. I feel like not everyone loves them but they don’t feel comfortable telling you no or get away. I feel like a creeper. I was helping out in a class and I felt like people weren’t too open to it. It was weird. Maybe if it were my own class and I stopped to adjust a few people I’d feel better. How can I get better that this and get over this awkward feeling?

Does anyone else stick to virtual yoga? I wonder about the benefits vs drawbacks of not doing in-person classes
I am absolutely loving Yoga with Adriene online (convenient and free, lol!) I wonder though if there is more possibility of injury without an instructor there to correct my poses. I think I’m doing the poses well and am following her instructions (I think!) I’m wondering if I should book a one-time coaching session with a yoga instructor or take a couple of classes to correct any poses I may be doing incorrectly? I guess I’m wondering what others have done and whether this approach would be worth it.

YouTubers that use blocks?
I’m trying to get back into doing yoga. I’m 200lbs and find that my weight and boobs get in the way. Is there any Youtubers that use blocks as I feel like it may be easier for me as a beginner.

Why does Yoga cause mental illness in some people?
I've read several times that forms of yoga, like Kundalini, can cause psychosis & other acute mental illnesses, though I'm struggling to see how that is possible. Does anyone here have any insights on this phenemenon?

Congested nose making kundalini impossible
I tried doing kundalini years ago but gave up in anger due to my breathing problems. I just always have one nostril congested and it's rather aggrevating as an athlete. When I'm surrounded in nature I can actually breathe so I've come to realize I'm not allergic to anything but it's literally city smog that has done this to me. I post this asking for help/tips if anybody has been in the same boat?
