A nice morning yoga spot

A nice place for my morning flow

Heels raise up during down dog

Hi! I have practiced yoga on & off for 10 years. No matter how fit I’ve been or how regularly I have practiced, I can never get my feet flat during downward facing dog. Any tips & tricks for this? Thanks in advance!

Yoga socks advice

I have had to sign up for a new class as my hot yoga is closing. Tonight my feet were freezing. I get cramp when cold and want to get something to warm up my feet. What can you suggest? I plan on legwarmers but it's my feet that are cold.

Do I need to be particular about my mat when I am going to lay my Manduka Yogitoes towel over it?

I have been using my Manduka Yogitoes towel every time I practise in studio over the studio mats (they have Manduka and Lululemon mats) and I cannot for the life of me tell the difference between the two brands. I sweat so much that some form of yoga towel (skidless or otherwise) is definitely needed. I was recently provided with a very old Aurorae mat which is still serviceable. It is barely broken in but the towel makes my practice less slippery. Should I consider getting a new mat? My requirements is that it should be thick and easy to maintain. Bonus points for wide mats. Am considering between: Manduka Pro Lululemon Big mat Liforme XL mat B Mat strong Or should I continue using my anti-slip towel on whatever affordable mat I can find? Does having a towel make you disregard the type of mat you’re using to a greater extent?

PIGEON POSE

SEAL POSE

discomfort in reverse warrior

I have done yoga at home for a few years. Classes and sessions that focus on flexibility and balance are my favorites and I feel so good when in all of the poses, however I absolutely dread “reversing” a warrior while in warrior 2. It doesn’t hurt, but my body feels uncomfortable, my breathing becomes more unnatural and I just want to move to the next pose. Have any of you experienced this or have other poses that give you a strange feeling?

Yoga saved my life.

Thank you for being there for me in my time of need. Namaste.

Do you feel like it’s harder to be grounded in your practice at home versus in class?

I almost always feel really in touch with my body and intentional when I am in the studio with a teacher, but at home I struggle to be able to get to that place of concentration. Does anyone else experience this or have any tips? Thanks :)

Upper back pain

Hi! Does anyone have some tips for pain between the shoulders? I generally take a class every morning and then by a few hours of working at my computer later I have pain between my shoulder blades I can’t seem to get rid of with stretching. Any tips for how to get rid of this? I keep very close attention on my posture.

Ex girlfriend

So I received word that tomorrow, my ex girlfriend is coming to the class I take every Tuesday. She’s never taken this class or expressed interest in doing so. I have been coming here for a couple of years and have a good amount of female and male friends that I socialize with before and after class. I have no idea why she’s coming to this class, but am looking for advise… when I asked her about it, she gave me the devil emoji…

Is power vinyasa a style itself ?

Hello, I've been asked to sub a power vinyasa class, I usually teach Ashtanga based vinyasa flow which is already quite a powerful practice. I was wondering if power vinyasa is a naming to say the students should expect some strong vinyasa or if power vinyasa is a style itself and with some pattern to follow ? Thank you !
