Started bending backwards... my whole spine is adjusting?

I started doing some backwards bending poses a few weeks ago after noticing I was really tight that way. Something odd happened, a few days ago I started really being able to stretch into some areas I had not realized I held tight for years.. And as I got into them everything started cracking, my spine has been adjusting a lot over the past few days and I'm starting to really feel how tight some of the remaining areas are. Is this crazy spinal adjustment common?

Favorite yoga books!

Hi! New yogi here, and I am looking to learn as much as I can! What are some of your favorite yoga books and why? Thanks for sharing!

Advice on new matt.

Looked over the FAQ and not seeing what I need. I'm fairly new to Yoga but have decided I want a natural fiber/hemp/cotton mat. One of the things I keep seeing with these is optional rubber non-slip backing. Is that really a big issue? The cheap one I'm using now is rubber anyway, so I don't have much to go on. It just doesn't seem like I'm doing anything that should make it slide. Any other advice on material, brand or anything that I should be considering would be appreciated.

A new month is here, and with it comes the opportunity to ease into new routines. Even if it's been awhile since you last rolled out your mat, the Yoga Alliance Global Directory can help you find a class to meet you wherever you are. Start here: https://t.co/m5Da02nOeT https://t.co/BhQL6S1IPq

Manduka STILL slick!

Okay, I’ve done the sea salt thing twice now & have used my mat every day for about an hour this month & it’s still slip-central. Any ideas on the timeline / break-in tips?

Is it okay to do yoga at night before going to bed? How long after dinner?

What's your experience with the down dog app?

I've been wanting to get into yoga, but I can't afford the classes near me. It's not ideal, but is it worth the subscription?

Yoga and “lifting the lid”

I’ve been doing yoga for only several weeks and I’m starting to feel pain come up. It’s like pretty deep full body aches and agitation as well as emotional pain like despair, angst, hopelessness, etc. I’m doing somatic therapy for very early/preverbal trauma and I honestly feel like yoga is a more powerful somatic therapy. It’s removed some of the numbness and giving me access to some of the pain underneath. My therapist says if I can just let the pain come up and just feel into it without reacting to it, it will be healing over time. She says the body is starting to feel comfortable releasing some of the stored trauma so it can heal itself. I mean I can still function and I’m not suicidal or anything, it’s just hard to see through it when your in the Maw. Has anybody experienced this with yoga?
