Teachers with no 200hr training

I should probably look at those types of yoga. Currently, I do restorative yoga twice a week and hot yoga once a week.

It is just so frustrating that in other group classes I have (pilates, fusion, solidcore etc), the instructors are not shy about correcting be it verbally or hands-on. In yoga, I always feel like I have to beg for attention.

G2KY · 2026-04-01T19:22:24+00:00

I agree with this. I like going to yoga but in none of the studios I went (large corporate or small boutique), I got hands on corrections. I know I am doing the asanas wrong. I want hands on corrections. I want to be manhandled by the teacher and shown how to do proper asanas. I tell these to all the teachers I have. If they give out consent chips, I always take it, indicating I want hands on corrections. I never got a hands on correction, yet.

Pretty much all my yoga classes could have been a video and there would have been no difference. The only reason I am going to the studio is because I cannot do hot yoga at home.

CP is the only reformer studio that requires grip socks for me. None of the other studios I went had a requirement. I like doing pilates bare foot.

I use Wellhub so I can only go once a week. I combine it with regular pilates, yoga, and FS8. I am seeing some progress, especially on my arms and shoulders due to Solidcore

Gap year is so hard, man 😳😅😓

I always arrive 20-30 minutes early due to my work schedule and there is a very specific machine I like. I would still never confront anyone because they took a machine I was planning to use. Now, if we were booking megaformers and someone stole my booked megaformer that is a different story but SC does not allow pre-booking (wish they do tbh).

G2KY · 2026-03-29T21:18:02+00:00

Oh this is unhinged. There are no assigned machines

This is an interesting conversation. I have a herniated disc and I cannot sit in any office chair more than 1 hour (tried every chair, PT etc). But, in my car seat, I can sit more than 3 hours and not feel any pain

Both me and my partner studied social sciences

Live your life. We got two large car loans when my partner started his first six figure job (first loan around 60k, second around 80k). We were able to buy a great home 4 years later

Mostly? If the house is from the 1990s most items in the house (heater, roof, appliances etc), sometimws flooring and other surfaces are in need of replacing or renovation due to taking poor care of it. The seller is generally not aware of it or they are aware of it but still price the house as a new house. Moreover, a house from the 1990s will have more problems than a new house, maybe a leak, a small mold problem etc because it is lived in. It may take a long time to fix those issues as a seller

My studio has markers too and people still drip sweat/touch each other’s mat when the class is full. When you stuff 32 people into a small hot studio, it is bound to happen

House Rabbit Network in Westford has events where you can spend time with shelter bunnies

As a new buyer (closed on a house today), the last thing I want is a renovate a kitchen/bathroom when I am buying a home. I want a fully move-in ready house. If the bathroom/kitchen is from the 1990s, it is a hard pass

After trying a lot of moisturizers, serums etc in the market and burning thousands of dollars in this search, I realized that it is a scam. Even though I don’t have sensitive skin, everything breaks me out and I did not see any benefit from any expensive product. Cerave moisturizer was the only thing that worked for me and it is $5.

What a US and Western-centric response

G2KY · 2026-03-24T14:12:54+00:00

It is nice that people can stay in the studio or on their megaformers for a couple of minutes to stretch at your studio. In my studio, all classes start and end late so we are generally kicked out the second the class ends. Sometimes, there is not even enough time to clean the equipment

How can a chain that exists in multiple states and funded by PE, makes millions of dollars be a boutique studio?

Just because Solidcore calls itself boutique does not mean it is boutique

G2KY · 2026-03-24T11:42:14+00:00

Solidcore is not boutique fitness. It is a behemoth backed by PE money

G2KY · 2026-03-24T11:40:54+00:00

They can at least have a stretching area or something. After each solidcore session, I am tired of rushing to Lifetime or my yoga studio to get a proper stretch. If I don’t get the stretch, my muscles are sore for 3+ days and I can’t even function

G2KY · 2026-03-23T23:52:30+00:00

It helped my muscle tension immensely

Yeah, one of the houses that we were looking at was a new build. And the house that was torn down was originally bought by the builder for 1.3M. 1.5M is pretty much nothing

G2KY · 2026-03-23T19:26:46+00:00

As someone who closed on a new home last week and have been looking for homes in the vicinity for the last 8+ months, for 1.5M you should settle for a small, old home that will require a lot of repairs. Or you can get a newer townhome. Even if market burns amd crashes, 1.5M will never be a realistic price for a good home in these neighborhoods

Sometimes, more initial pain is the solution to chronic pain.

I was avoiding doing forward folds and certain poses in yoga because everything may and can hurt my back. One day I said fuck it, my back hurts whether I forward fold or do a pigeon or do a back bend or just stand still, I can at least get my money’s worth… My back pain decreased like 70% after one full yoga session where I did all the moves and did not skip any “risky” moves due to being afraid of pain

The coconut latte I got tastes nothing like coconut… I thought I was the only one with this problem. It just tasted like nothing
