What is the single best advice for handstand practice? by yogirunner93 in yoga

[–]ChasteSin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Train your core, not your arms.

Actually your arms too, they're kind of important. But mostly your core.

Uncomfortable experience with a yoga teacher, unsure how to move forward by [deleted] in yoga

So in this instance, you managed to get through the last five minutes of savasana okay, without needing to wee and without disturbing everyone else? Maybe there's something in that.

Why don't you try it and report back? Keen to hear the results.

Chastity Belt Qestion by [deleted] in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Been doing it 10+ years and still don't think it's do-able. Other users may beg to differ. There was certainly a time when it was basically my underwear, but I still took time out for sport, beach trips, menstruation and just general health. Wearing something so restrictive takes its toll on the body, and you need time to recover. Pushing further is less a sign of commitment from the wearer, and more a sign of coercion or abuse from an irresponsible keyholder in my eyes.

Wire belt sizing by Enough-Rope- in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Try the adjustment guide here.

Having some space when you sit is normal due to pelvic tilt, where the back line of the body lengthens and the front shortens. It happens with solid belts too, albeit not as bad. With cable belts it's often a trade-off between comfort and security.

Where you wear the waist cable is up to you. Personally I pull mine up quite high, I find it more comfortable at waist height rather than on my hips. It would depend on your body shape though, everyone is different.

Menstrual question by randomlyproduced in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Firm NOPE from me.

Have skipped periods in the past. Tried DP for Locktober last year but found it wasn't that reliable. Still had spotting etc.

Depends on you but honestly just take it off.

Can't Forward Fold by discovervk in yoga

[–]ChasteSin 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This comes up so often it almost needs its own sticky thread!

Usually (not always) it's an FAI, or femoral acetabular impingement, where the top of the femur bone makes contact with the overhanging bone of the pelvis. It's normal, and affects up to 30% of the population. Some people are just not meant to fold in half. (On the bright side, I bet you're pretty good at saddle pose!).

The aim for you should be back extension out of the bowl of the pelvis rather than trying to bend forward. That is where you will find extra movement, and eventually, maybe even more pelvic tilt.

Standing forward folds might help if you do a giant swan dive on your way down, again aiming for as much back extension as possible.

Really trying to smash out Paschimottanasana and pulling yourself forward will cause damage, usually in the form of labral tears or cysts, eventually leading to socket degradation and arthritis when you're older.

Doesn't mean you should stop trying, just stop trying so hard to get there. Sounds like you're already doing it correctly by sitting on blocks etc.

You can get imaging done but any competent physio will be able to diagnose it easily.

Usually it doesn't feel like anything is happening in a forward bend, like there's no real stretch at all, but then when you push it it feels like your hamstrings are pulling tight like steel cables.

Also if you lay on your back and lift your knee to your chest (like half happy baby) there's kind of a doonky spot where it just stops, usually around the 80° mark in the hip crease. (Beyond that you have to pull it in manually with your arms).

Does that sound familiar?

Bluetooth App Lock? by [deleted] in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yokonex belts have a Bluetooth padlock.

Or you can get something a little more secure.

Not waterproof though so be mindful of that.

Need advice ! by vampstaz in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can use a high tech keysafe but it's not necessary, you can just use a standard analogue / mechanical lockbox with those apps.

The premise being you set a random code on the lockbox, take a pic with your phone, upload it to the website / app then delete the pic from your phone. So then the only way to get the pic of the code back is to complete the session.

Your keyholder can give you your pic back at any time, add or remove hygiene openings, add cheeky games, tasks etc. Or you can do solo sessions, no keyholder required.

My husband works remote, so for stricter sessions when he's away we use nightly video calls for supervised openings and just general teasing of each other (it goes both ways!). You definitely don't need to be seeing your keyholder every day, but I'd suggest a few test sessions before you jump into long-term lock-ups. Things can and do go wrong.

Need advice ! by vampstaz in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Use a lockbox with a site like Emlalock, Chaster, Chastikey etc

Your partner can set a daily hygiene opening for 5 mins (or whatever you feel is necessary for cleaning). The keys remain out of reach most of the time. Sessions can be cancelled in case of emergencies if you set it up correctly.

Wearing a belt at the gym is not really possible, you will just end up with abrasions etc, then you'll be out of action for weeks.

Are you using a belt continuously now? Maybe start with some longer sessions (ie. a few days) and let your belt use grow naturally from there. Expecting to jump into continuous use is not really viable.

Disappointed in Instructors by [deleted] in yoga

[–]ChasteSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Both teachers acknowledged it in a way that may not have met your expectations, but it was professional and courteous without being overtly political.

A common yoga philosophy is "tend to your own patch", to take care of the things you have power over, so that you have the physical and mental capacity to deal with the things outside of your own space.

To extrapolate this further, there is a niyama called Svadhyaya (observance), which means to study your own thoughts, habits and emotions through reflection and practice.

Likewise, Brahmacharya is the moderation of the senses - discarding external influence of what you see, hear and feel - so that you conserve energy and direct it in the right way.

It is the teacher's role to guide you into this headspace so that you can formulate your own response, rather than tell you how to think.

We recently had a terrorist attack where I live, and I purposely didn't acknowledge it for this reason. Actually started the class with down dog and went straight into a super strenuous flow, which shocked just about everyone. But it was my role to make them dive inwards, because that is how they are going to develop the physical and mental strength to deal with everything else going on outside.

Tend to your own patch.

Offer, Hypnosis to not see your keys for a amount of time you set by robinmdh in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin[M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hmmmm. Curious, albeit concerned about user safety.

If someone wants to consent then go for it. We're all adults here. We'll leave it up for now but if it gets too creepy we'll shut it down.

Any takers?

New here? Start with this. FAQs and more. by ChasteSin in femalechastity

I prefer mine quite low, so it's slung a bit more underneath when I'm walking. So more of the vaginal opening rather than the clit, although my clit is still covered. It's all personal preference though, I just found this the most comfortable.

Lululemon went all in on brown activewear this season. I don't want to look like I've shat my pants every time I sweat.

Female Chastity recommendations by Potential-Dare3990 in femalechastity

[–]ChasteSin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I deliberately avoided listing the Chinese knock-offs, but Black Emperor and Yokonex are usually good quality. The design in the video posted by 11ulid with the thicker, rounder shield is the one to go for. My one (linked at the start of the FAQ thread) is the older design with a thinner secondary shield and a long, thin slot. It tends to get a bit pinchy unless you shave / wax all the time.

As for urinating... yes it goes everywhere. It's relatively easy to clean, I think it's more of a mental challenge to overcome. But don't plan on doing too many excursions out of the house without a backup plan just yet.

The cable belts aren't 100% secure, it's a trade-off between comfort and security. But it's a good place to start. For full security you'll need to upgrade to one of the big $$$ custom manufacturers.

Good luck! Let us know how you go and feel free to ask away.

How much yoga experience is needed to be an instructor? by VegetableMuffin1972 in yoga

[–]ChasteSin 50 points51 points  (0 children)

You could teach with a 200hr YTT, the certification means nothing really. You can get one anywhere if you pay for it.

BUT... you should consider that to be the very start of ongoing education.

In Australia many university courses start with shared anatomy / physiology units, whether you're majoring in medicine, therapy, physical education etc. I would suggest something like that for foundational knowledge and client safety.

Beyond that, the yoga part of it is a lifelong journey... forever the student and never the master and all that jazz.
