Is this a yoga pose?

Obviously I’m not that flexible, but is this a yoga pose or is it just a mix between dancer and standing split?

Yoga Festivals/Retreats

Has anyone participated in yoga festivals or retreats? How was your experience? Was there more to it than back to back yoga classes? I am looking into a Yoga Festival near me for a few reasons, primarily because I am looking for like minded friends, and I could really use a reset. Would a festival satisfy those needs?

Yoga classes near Times Square

Hi! I’m travelling to the UK to New York next week for work. I’ll be staying in Times Square and was wondering if anyone in this lovely community might have any recommendations for classes where I can drop in? I enjoy lots of different styles of yoga, so I’m pretty open-minded about trying a variety of class types. I’ll be in the office during the day so early mornings and early evenings would be ideal. Thanks in advance!

Should I do yoga if I have a pulled muscle?

I started doing hot yoga/Pilates two months ago. I have like no upper body or core strength. I really pushed myself in my last Pilates class, and while I was stretching my back, I felt my right side abdominal muscle move, and I think I pulled it, because I’m in a different kind of pain than sore muscles. How long should I take a break? I still want to strengthen and stretch my other body parts. I was kind of hitting a stride so this is a bummer.

Yogis with open arms to newbies

I began my first day of work-trade at my local studio the other day, and I just wanted to commend yogis in general. I am new to yoga, I am shy, and walking into a studio I have only practiced in once before was intimidating. Everyone was so welcoming. The love was undeniable. I felt held and respected. What a beautiful thing. This is why so many newbies do not get discouraged. Just wanted to put my appreciation back into the world.

Yin Yoga recommendations?

I’m looking for an online (YouTube?) yin teacher. I’m not sure if there’s a “true” yin practice out there, but if anyone has any suggestions I’d really appreciate it. PS - tried Travis Eliot, Kassandra - stuff like that and I like them, but looking to see if there’s something more authentic? Or maybe they’re it!

Newbie question

I’ve been doing yoga for a little over 4 months (+- 100 classes) with different instructors. Not until yesterday did a yogi tell me to put my palms together when interlacing my fingers behind my back in a forward fold. Please advise me as if if this is (one of) the proper techniques and if I should continue doing it. Is this what advanced yogis do? Sorry if it seems like a silly question, it was just a new request that I hadn’t heard before (and actually, because my body is used to the conditioning of weightlifting and 4 months of yoga, I hadn’t felt upper back pain until today, the day after)

How much evidence - research or anecdata - is there that yoga later in the day improves that night’s sleep?

Has a great sleep last night after a 20 minute Yoga with Adriene that was intermediate and definitely caused a little bit of heat Slept really well last night and it got me wondering...
