The feeling of not practicing

Hey everyone. So I have been practicing for about 2 years now; some weeks I am consistent; others not. When I do practice along with mediation, and I am disciplined, I feel great and ready to take on the day. This week and last have been struggles and honestly I feel it almost in my body when I don’t practice and my body is craving for yoga. I have often felt sluggish, lethargic, you name it. Anyone felt this way before like your body needs yoga if you go without it for too long???

Tight trapezius & popping

There's been some tightness/pain in between my shoulders and lower neck. The only thing that temporarily alleviates the pain is massaging and downward dog, but when I do a downward dog, there's a popping noise that comes from in between my shoulders. Are there other yoga routines that can help?

Anybody else experienced discomfort on their neck / shoulder after headstand?

Heard some clicks from my neck last month after doing headstand - it got better after some sorts massage & rest from upper body workouts. After 2 weeks of rest I practiced headstands a few times this week and just today i experienced slight discomfort in the same area. Any tips?

Yoga to Cold Weather?

I started doing Bikram Yoga a couple months ago and absolutely love it. The yoga studio is only 2 blocks from my house which is about a 5-7 min walk. Now that the weather is getting a bit cooler, it can be quite cold on my walk back. My question here is, is it bad to just embrace the cold and walk back or should I be sitting around and cooling down before leaving? Ive heard that cold plunges after hot yoga can be a great thing. Is doing a cold plunge that different than just walking home in the cold? I can handle the cold relatively well and try to work on my breathing on the way home which seems to help out a lot. Any thoughts here?

Clean mat

What’s the best way to clean your yoga mat? Mine needs some love.

Perhaps the solution to sustained attention is to stop trying so hard. Science supports this approach. https://t.co/P4sWDib6g9
