yoga mat gets HOT!

Hey everybody, I sometimes like to practice on the beach or on my roof during the summer, but I find that my mat gets so hot I burm my feet. At a certain point I have to stop. Today I purchased a yoga towel (the kind used for Bikram, etc) but it too got scalding hot. Light color, etc. Are there any solutions to this? Are there special mats? Yoga socks (I don’t love that idea)? Any suggestions? Thanks!

What underwear (or not) to wear under leggings?

Girlies… I need your help. I’m having trouble figuring out what underwear to wear leggings with. I don’t really love thongs cause they clearly go right up your butt. So then I tried commando and thought it was the solution until I got chafing between where my thigh meets my pubic area - if that makes sense. Note this is not chafing from my thighs rubbing together but chafing in the crease between legs and pube area. I’ve tried soma vanishing edge but hate the silicon. I’ve also tried boy shorts but kind of hate the feeling of two right fabrics rubbing against each other. Help, am I ever going to find a solution? Do I just have to deal with uncomfortable thongs up my butt? There’s gotta be something out there. Thank you for any help!!!!!

Simple yoga app to help practice

I was wondering if there is any good yoga app out there. I just want a simple app, that does not have videos or anything like that, only animations indicating the posture and guided breathing. I tried pocket yoga and I really like it, it has the minimalism I am looking for, but the practices are a bit limited. I have done them over and over and I would like to extend to different postures and combinations. Any recommendations? Which one should I try?

Any nice yoga practice video reccomendations?

I usually practice the first ashtanga series, but wanna switch it up with some vinyassa or another practice to learn some other poses as well! Any youtube recommendations for me? preferably practices that are a bit more strong? Thank you! ​

I don't like savasana?

I just get bored in this pose, my mind wanders and I would rather be in a pose that stretches me. Just laying down to me actually seems to take away from my yoga practice and just makes me want to go to sleep. I wish I could enjoy the pose more, please let me know if you have any suggestions.

Yoga + sound healing? 🧘🏻‍♀️

Is there such a thing as a yoga class that incorporates sound therapy as part of the class? I found something called nada yoga but that looks more like meditation.

Best yoga poses to beat arthritis pain

I'm a 40-year-old man currently dealing with knee arthritis pain. I'm seeking some advice from the yoga community. Have been seeing a specialist for my condition but recently someone suggested that incorporating yoga into my routine might help alleviate the discomfort. However, I must admit that I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed by the sheer number of yoga poses out there. I'm not sure which ones specifically target knee arthritis pain and would be safe for me to practice. Would greatly appreciate any recommendations or guidance regarding yoga poses that can provide relief and support for my knee condition. If any of you have personal experience or knowledge in this area, I would be grateful for your insights.
