Sharp pain when transitioning from mountain to forward fold.

I started my yoga journey a few months ago to help with my back pain and it has been super beneficial. When I first started I thought the pain in this transition was just tension but as I learned the difference between pain and the discomfort of tension I started to avoid it. Are there any poses & stretches that could help me with the lower back & core strength so that transition doesn't hurt or modifications I can take to get from mountain to forward fold?

Is joining Ashtanga yoga worth it for me?

I am joining boxing but for some reason have always flirted with the idea of yoga. I wanna try Ashtanga because I have heard it’s intense. Do you think doing it can help me as a boxer? Or is it a waste of time? I am also looking to just be better at functional strength stuff, like running, or whatever else life entails. And it wouldn’t hurt to focus on awareness and mindfulness as I usually feel scatterbrained lol.

Helpful poses for IT Band Syndrome?

I’ve been doing yoga for a few years but in the last month, it’s gotten very difficult to do a couple of poses thanks to IT Band Syndrome in my left leg. In particular, any kind of squatting pose has me in huge pain. I’ve tried a couple of videos on YouTube, but was wondering if anyone here could maybe chime in too. I set up an appointment for physical therapy, but it’s not for a while, and I’d like to see about even just easing the pain a bit in the meantime.

Yoga for boxing?

What type of yoga would you recommend? I’m either going to a studio or doing it from home. But the whole point is to be a better athlete.

If you're looking for an easy and effective way to bolster upper body muscles, you can try isometric exercises. I’ve shared various upper body isometric exercises to strengthen the back, chest, shoulder, arms, and core and help you build a firm torso.

Beginner Downward Dog Trouble

I am a beginner and a pretty inflexible large male (6’4 260 lbs). Whenever I do downward facing dog my triceps feel like they can barely support my body. Is it supposed to be hard on my triceps or am I likely doing something wrong in the pose? Also if this is common what are some alternate poses I can do to build myself up to being able to do downward dog? Thanks
