Tips on breaking in a cork mat?

I bought the Yoloha Unity in December. It’s not at the “grip level” I’d hope it would be. I’ve read online you need some time to break it in? Any tips on how to expedite this break in process? Thanks in advance.

How often should I do yoga.

Hey guys I just subscribed to this subreddit and wanted to know how often you guys do yoga. For the past month I’ve been doing the practice for about 20-25 minutes at day after my workouts. Currently I train in martial arts and lift weights pretty consistently and just wanted to know if it was optimal to do yoga everyday on top of what I already do? Thanks!

Hip Openers for Elephant Trunk Pose

Hi Guys! I’ve been trying to do elephant trunk pose and realized my hips are much too tight. I can’t get my leg above the middle of my bicep. I was wondering if you could recommend any hip openers that might help with this. Thanks!

Blocks & No Binds

Does it hurt anyone else to see people in class straining to touch the mat or bind when they’re not there yet? I still use the blocks to adjust some days if I’m not feeling as limber… it’s important to get the pose posture right (length, hips etc) than touching the floor or straining a bind. I’m sure people are potentially injuring themselves and getting less out of what the pose is supposed to achieve. I almost said something to someone after class because I was genuinely worried.

Yoga for feet and shoulders…

I know I could probably google this but I’m curious if anyone else has had a similar experience and if so, how they resolved it. My line of work requires me to walk several miles per day looking up at telephone poles, while wearing a backpack. This takes a toll on my back and my feet. Lower back is usually fine, but I tend to hold the tension in my upper back and shoulders. On top of that, my feet are just generally sore a lot of the time. Was wondering if there were some routines I could look into to help alleviate the tension/soreness. Thankful for any help I can get!

Regarding Cotton Yoga mats.

I had a question regarding the cotton/fabric yoga mats. I have been using rubber yoga mats eversince. But I have difficulty doing certain asanas as my palms get sweaty and slip while performing some asanas. This is potentially precarious. I recently noticed that there are cotton yoga mats available and wonder if those would solve this problem. Have any of you used those? How was your experience? Do they slip since they don't have the rubber grip? Are they washable? Thanks!

How do you notice you are breathing and put an end to breathing through your mouth and start breathing through your nose?

Don't judge these observations, simply have them. This is the first level of self-awareness, a simple understanding of where your attention goes and when. my humble opinion gita 2023
