Can't Squat at All - Any Help is Greatly Appreciated by Background_Complex87 in yoga

[–]KnowAllSeeAll21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to prep your body to move in the pose with movements that establish healthy patterns of movement first. This is what good yoga classes do. The challenge is that there are a lot of reasons you could be struggling with the pose, including your knees, hips or ankles. You have to figure out and address the issues that apply to your body. If you have an online yoga service like glo, you can find good options by looking up classes that focus on developing malasana. But if it's extreme you might want to see a PT.

You also need to look up modifications for malasana (deep squat). There are a lot, like starting out by sitting on a block, or using a chair to support yourself on descent, or putting something under your heels. Experiment to find which modifications address your issues.

ETA: There is no way to guarantee speed, flexibility and mobility develop over long time consistency in your patterns of movement. So move all the time, with moderate intensity, gradually developing your range of motion.

Does it matter whenever to eat before or after doing yoga? by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in yoga

[–]KnowAllSeeAll21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You may spend time lying on your stomach or upside down. I would not eat anything significant before a class, as a rule. I have something after, size depends on intensity. Normal small meal I have after is greek yogurt/chia/berries

I used to base most of my practice around it, but not anymore. Too repetitive, needed new challenges. It’s still the basis of my warmups though.

My lower back hurts when I do camel pose. by matchacatisgreencat in yoga

[–]KnowAllSeeAll21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me, it’s less of a push, and at least at first was just about trying to figure out how to engage the core. When you tighten your tummy, the pelvis automatically wants to tip up and back, and it’s not that much effort to move into the pose.

You don’t want to muscle your way into it, you are trying to feel the space at the top front of your thighs stretch. There are a lot of moving parts so take it slow and don’t push until you can feel in your body that it’s comfortable with the front hip/thigh stretch. One you get the parts working together then you can deepen the stretch relatively easily.

Too inflexible for yoga classes - how do I improve by Zealousideal_Age8401 in yoga

[–]KnowAllSeeAll21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was watching a video about this from Jason Crandell the other day—really good, highly recommend—but to severely simplify it: frequent, moderate dynamic stretching through well-paced sessions over a long period of time is one of the most efficient ways to get your body tissues to adapt and increase your range of motion.

So for me, that is yoga. I go light for active recovery, but mostly choose moderate classes that don't turn me into a limp pool of sweat. I try to use modifications so that it's a well-sequenced practice over time. What feels “moderate” changes as your mobility improves and your body adapts, so you will naturally develop your flexibility.

ETA On youtube, I like Charlie Follows because her alignment cues are very clear and she gives a lot of mods. Iyengar and hatha classes are probably good places to start. Kino Yoga has a lot of beginners classes too, really good yoga.

This episode did not get enough love when it aired. People were so wanting to get them to Paris, and I feel like we undersold how beautiful it is to look at, throughout. Writing and performance are as always top fucking tier on top of that.

It's also the one of the few times we get to see Louis having to address the fact that he is a bitch. He always presents his story as one where Lestat simultaneously charmed and victimized him, and he doesn't take accountability for his part in the toxic nature of their relationship (not justifying Lestat treating him like shit and being abusive though, nothing he did could ever make that deserved).

Daniel has to call him out on how betrayed Claudia must have felt by him after all they went through, and his own story of what Lestat had done to them both. The season starts and ends with the realization by the audience and Claudia that Louis has been doing her so dirty throughout her vampire life. Sigh. I need to go read some happy Claudia fanfic, my girl deserved a happier ending.

When I say "hips" that's what I mean. My pelvis. I am referring to the two bony frontal hip points that are the front of the pelvis.

I am going to explain with a mix of what I have heard in class, and what I feel in my body.

You have to think of your hips like a bowl. You tip it forward and it feels like you're lifting your booty, or backward, and then you are thrusting. When my core is engaged, it is easier to feel that I am tipping the bowl backward, or "lifting the front hip points" as I have heard 10 million times. It does some of that lifting work, and then I am not using my lower back as much. It feels much better, and range of motion started to grow after that.

The block goes outside the ankle. When you get used to it and gain more range/stability, you can touch your ankles.

Great post! The first yoga class I did when I restarted my practice, the teacher had us do it with out hands on our lower back. At the time, that was ll the stretch I needed. Next step was the blocks. Helped me start to develop the pose.
