My streak ends today.

Yoga Socks?

I have a friend who is a mad knitter. She is currently knitting for a fibre festival, and it was suggested to her to knit "yoga socks" for sale. These are essentially ankle-length socks minus the heel and toe. I told her that no one in my yoga class wears these items. Including me. Her daughter insists that "everyone wears them". In order to stop her from wasting her time, does anyone here wear them??

Hand strengthening?

My muscles in my right neck/shoulder area and forearm are super tight from consistent overuse and bad posture. My hands are weak, though. My trainer mentioned it might be helpful to strengthen my hands in order to keep some load off my forearms. For work I do a lot of transfers of kids on/off mats, changing tables, etc. For context. I also do a shit don’t of computer work. Does this make sense? In my mind I thought I should just focus on stretching and creating ease with my forearm through yoga and other kind of activities. What kind of exercises would be best for hand strengthening? When I was doing yoga awhile ago I remember hearing people talk about hand strengthening so I figured I would ask here.

Using props in Yin yoga

I need help with Yoga related inner wears!

I am always conscious about panty lining showing and I always wonder what kind of underwear one should wear. Can you please suggest and link some? I’d be very grateful to you.

Screwed up my back doing happy baby pose. Any suggestions?

I was told to do the happy baby pose by my physiotherapist (for hypertony of pelvic muscle). Unfortunately today i have a stiff back(middle portion of the back) and any movement or even just laying down in bed causes pain in the back. I think my mistake was that i pulled my legs too far back which lifted my ass and my back, causing pressure on my back

Programs for handstands and arm strength

Hi! Does anyone know of any free programs or creators that can help me progress in handstands and positions adjacent to it? Along with forearm and bicep/tricep strength (arms in general tbh)?

being a male practioner

does any other men who practice yoga feel like they aren’t accepted into the yoga community as easily as women are sometimes? i have no issues embracing the divine feminine, but sometimes it seems i feel shunned and unwelcomed in certain spaces

How do/did you find friends that are into the same things as you & that you connect with on a deeper level?

I am asking in this community because it seems to be the closest to one that I would want to have around me. I am tired of small talk and people faking emotions while interacting. But most of all, of people pretending they are into spirituality or yoga or personal growth just to sound cool/keep up with the trend. Most people are like that where I live… I am feeling a little desperate. At this point, I can def say that I barely have friends that I have deep emotional connection with. Any tips on where and how to find REAL friends/connections? What’s your experience?

guidance for beginning yoga

I've been wanting to practice yoga and make it as part of my lifestyle and recent health crisis cemented the desire. Could anyone suggest youtube videos for beginners, slow paced and providing information.
