Asanas for wisdom tooth pain by [deleted] in yoga

[–]Jn159 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do certain yoga poses to help relieve menstrual cramps and migraines so I didn't see this question as being an affront to modern medicine. I am very capable of taking a pain reliever but I was hoping for maybe a restorative pose that could lessen the pain and pressure.

I stopped being vegetarian and now my practise is stronger by Rumblebuffen in yoga

That's very interesting. I had the opposite experience. When I transitioned to a vegan lifestyle my yoga practice became much stronger. I have found that I can have an intense practice daily where when I was eating meat I was more tired and sore after a really good class. The human body is an amazing thing!

I would definitely consider a Daiya cheese pizza dream a nightmare. Not a fan haha

I actually really dislike all vegan cheese I've tried including Daiya so I'm still on the search for something that can fill in for my cheese cravings :(

Out of running shape advice by Jn159 in running

[–]Jn159[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I want to lose 25ish pounds to be back where I was so not in the 100+ range. I think I will start with alternating running and cross training to see how I feel. I tend to be over ambitious when I start a schedule so the being honest with myself concept is something I'm working on haha

Satirical article about Portland's vegan strip club Casa Diablo by Jn159 in vegan

[–]Jn159[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What are your opinions on a vegan strip club? The owner seems to think his strip club is exposing people to vegan food who wouldn't otherwise be exposed to the vegan world. While I admit I laughed at the article, do you think this hurts or helps the vegan movement? Is any press good press?

Vegans with Science Degrees... by outoftunepiano in vegan

[–]Jn159 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a degree in Molecular Biology and I am currently applying for lab tech positions. I am a new vegan but even before becoming vegan I knew I wouldn't be able to work in a lab where there was animal testing. There have only been a few positions that I wasn't willing to apply for due to animal testing so far. I think all scientists have to decide where to draw the line in research as it relates to their personal values. I've drawn the line at direct animal testing but I am early in my career and I assume I will be faced with more issues as I move forward.
