How long will it take to practice?

Need some advice after a “poor” session

I was a bit disappointed with myself after flow yoga today. I had to take a few breaks and do child’s pose quite a lot… I think part of it is because I’ve been feeling unwell due to some health issues I have (fatigue is a symptom that randomly pops up, among other things). Been having a flare up for about a week but I had hoped yoga would help. I’ve been going once a week for over a month now, and I know I have been getting stronger, but I was still disappointed and wonder if I should try something else when I don’t feel well. Would restorative yoga or something else be better to try? Thanks for any advice :)

How long did it take you to achieve a proper vinyasa?

I know everybody is different and the perfection is not the goal but how many months or years of consistent practice resulted in perfect vinyasa without any modifications? By vinyasa I mean plank ➡️ chaturanga ➡️ up dog ➡️ down dog. Thanks for the reply!

Yoga leggings that don’t roll down?

My body has changed in the last few years. I’m getting back in to yoga and this time I have a little more belly fat. My old high rise leggings (Lulu aligns and am Amazon knock offs) fit but I find as I move and bend they’re rolling down my stomach uncomfortably. Do you have any brands of high rise leggings that stay put through triangle, forward folds, twists etc? Thanks!

YTT Triggering Somatic Release?

i’m about 3.5 weeks into a 200h YTT program which has us doing a daily practice of asana, chanting and meditation 4 times/week in community, but also has expectations for solo practice for the other 2 days not in class, 1 day of rest. i’ve also had an incredible amount happen in my life the last two years and just moved to start a new life. the last two weeks in particular i’ve had some experiences of a very deep and heavy feeling in my body that isn’t triggered by any specific instance. or if it is, it goes deeper than perhaps the trigger warranted. is it possible that the YTT and the commitment to a spiritual practice is triggering these releases? did anyone go through anything similar when they started committing to their own yoga and spiritual practices on a deeper level? how did you cope?

Loud Music While in Yoga?

Ive been to many different studios all over the southwest states. I love the culture of yoga and the people that come with it. However, have I just picked the wrong classes? because recently yoga has had very loud music playing in the back ground.. like rock songs or indie love songs. Personally, I would appreciate if the music was just instrumental during yoga. what do you think?
