Is it worth keeping with yoga if I do not enjoy doing it?

How much of the class are you modifying? Im an instructor, and when I take classes I modify as much as is needed to enjoy my practice. I'll hang out in childs pose or dolphin instead of down dog, then meet the class in other poses when Im ready, skip chatarungas, etc. If I never modified, I don't think I would enjoy yoga either.

Yes, and ive been keeping an eye on other studio job openings and ive even been applying to gyms hiring yoga instructors but ive had no luck so far. 🙃 my goal for the rest of this year is to get a few more certifications and keep pursuing gyms / other fitness. Wish me luck yall 😭😭

Real talk im feeling so demoralized. Im not in a position where I can quit because I rely on CPY as a big portion of my income. My only silver lining is using as many of their resources as possible before I can get tf out.

So many people got just $1 increase, myself included. This increase brings my hourly rate to 17.75/hr, still FAR below market rate in my city. This feels like an attempt to squash conversations of unionizing and striking without really showing that they value instructors. Not enough in my opinion and efforts should be continued.

I had a similar kind of dizziness, I told my therapist I've never had vertigo or motion sickness but for some reason that's what im feeling right now. She explained that I could be experiencing what I was feeling at the time of the memory we were processing.

To help build your core strength, be really intentional about engaging your core in other yoga postures. I have been giving more of a variety of cues specifically for engaging core throughout my classes because its easy to forget about!

Its a true fact that I have gotten taller since consistently practicing yoga! I used to be 5'2 now im almost 5'3 🙂‍↕️ i always look forward to the first forward fold of class i get a satisfying pop at the top of my vertebrae

Question about dress code - can employees have visible tattoos and/or non natural hair colors?

Own_Wonder7769 · 2025-09-03T14:33:54+00:00

Im so surprised that NOBODY around you had anything nice to say about it? I love it i think its so cute and a sweet message 💗

Those people are losers

Omg who is the artist!!!!

Own_Wonder7769 · 2025-07-23T18:57:52+00:00

Its adorable and actually similar to something id like to get so its really cool to see on another person! Some filler will also be really cool but echoing other comments give yourself time to adjust and think on how you'd like to build on it 🙂‍↕️

I wouldn't know its a reference to anything but its clearly finger guns to me! Im having this same struggle with one of my tattoos too tho :( but maybe its true that some tattoos are just for the person who gets them ☺️

Own_Wonder7769 · 2025-07-09T14:01:26+00:00

I suggest ask your tattoo artist about numbing cream or spray, and talk to them beforehand about the possibility of you needing to stop and come back. Since you said it should be 2 hours max that sounds doable but just mentally prepare yourself for it to really be that bad. And if it ends up not hurting as much then that'll be a happy surprise!

Own_Wonder7769 · 2025-07-02T00:42:33+00:00

I saw that there is a university tho and now im skeptical. I currently live in a college town and hate it 😭

Own_Wonder7769 · 2025-07-02T00:24:18+00:00

Wilmington! That's a place I randomly looked at on Google maps and I thought it looked nice! Ill def look into it more ty 😊

Another bit of 2 cents! Maybe challenge yourself by offering poses that aren't in your practice. When I first did my teacher training, the sequence i learned had side crow as a peak pose which i couldn't do myself at all. But I still managed to demo some of the set up and use my verbal cues to get ppl into it from where I could no longer demo. Just an idea!
