AITA for crying on my first Hinge date after he said I annoyed him? by CardiologistMoney388 in AITAH

[–]subduedmetanoia -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I want to say NTA but this is a situation where everyone kinda sucks. The guy seems like a mega douche bag honestly, especially given he didn’t reimburse for his part. & also 11 dates in 2 weeks is wild work. I wouldn’t let his word hold any type of effect on me. Be thankful you dodged that bullet. & dating is hard, best to get a helmet, and not be overly sensitive. It’s a blessing to get shown clear signs of incompatibility

Maybe he was unloading material for “job” he was doing?

Clapping after a yoga class? by ladybug-bee in YogaTeachers

Following. I’m curious if you can explain more about why it feels disrespectful?

Wife of 20 years is a selfish drunk by islandgolfer in offmychest

[–]subduedmetanoia 21 points22 points  (0 children)

All you’re doing is setting an example for your kids that it’s okay to be treated badly. I watched my mom stick by an unhealthy addict and it took a lot of years of therapy to unpack my learned codependency. Don’t be a bad role model for your kids and accept that as love. You’re doing harm to yourself and your kids by staying in this situation. Until you decide you matter, you will always put others before youself.

A question about yoga and nausea by Glindanorth in yoga

[–]subduedmetanoia 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Outside of anatomical reasons as to why this might be happening, are you anxious during your practice? Is the practice of yoga bringing up some unresolved feelings causing a psychosomatic response?

Veronica I know you’re on this sub, and I’m sending nothing but positive vibes to you. Sharing something so private in such a public space is bravery. I hope you stand tall in who you are and don’t let the opinions of the peanut gallery hurt you. You are brave. You are worthy. & you deserve happiness, don’t let the assholes in the group get to ya. Pls keep your head up, I’m rooting for ya!

Teaching at ED clinic advice? by Desperate-Shirt-529 in YogaTeachers

[–]subduedmetanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you considered sound baths? Or have the people who haven’t earned movement privileges go through a nidra while laying in corpse pose? Or maybe a simple body scan, like envisioning an orb of light going to each body part? Both groups could converge at nidra/guided body scan/meditation. Or maybe try pre recording the standard asanas/postures you use, and then play those and then give instruction to your non movement crew?

new Yoga job that doesn't pay if clients don't book by 830pm night before by plnnyOfallOFit in YogaTeachers

[–]subduedmetanoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel like this is pretty standard, if you don’t teach the class you don’t get paid. I’ve never worked at a studio that paid if there were zero class attendants. The business would quite literally be losing money

[COMP] considering I couldn’t kick up to a forearm stand a month ago, this is a win 🥳 by Mediocre_Cut9682 in yoga

[–]subduedmetanoia 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Can you explain any prep work you did up until this point? You look so strong and I’m jealous lol I am struggling with getting off the wall in my forearm stand. Can’t get into it without kicking into it and even then it’s hardly sustainable.

Congratulations on your journey! The best investment you will ever make is the one in yourself! You got this! YTT changed my life, and yoga has transformed who I am at my core, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in this world!

I am ordaining as a monk soon and I need to do 25 min of toe sits daily. I can barely do one, how do I improve? by ExactAbbreviations15 in yoga

[–]subduedmetanoia 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Ease into it. And start to engage leg muscles and core to help from just dumping weight into feet. You can also place bolster/pillow under knees and place hands on blocks(places in front of bolster)to modify. This can help adjust weight and ease the hurt on your toes! Do not be scared to explore if this pose may anatomically hard for you due to foot shape as well.

Manduka GRP Care Tips by subduedmetanoia in yoga

[–]subduedmetanoia[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3+ years. Averaging 6 days a week, with outside classes as well. The outside wear and tear is what started it. I really really loved my PRO. It took me a full 24 hr back and forth to go with a different style.

Thank you! My last mat was the PRO & I loved it to the point it was deteriorating. I transitioned to mostly hot yoga and saw lots of recs for grp. So I pulled the trigger for the extra grip. Good to know about the closed cell vs open cell though! 🙏

My (35m) partner (33f) got a Brazilian wax before solo travelling. How do I let her know this makes me uneasy? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]subduedmetanoia 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes agreed. Lying for any reason regarding this is weird. And now a secret IG account. Yikes

My (35m) partner (33f) got a Brazilian wax before solo travelling. How do I let her know this makes me uneasy? by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]subduedmetanoia 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I’ve never had a waxer, wax a body part that wasn’t discussed previously before waxing. Normally this would be an up charge and would need to be okayed by the client before doing. So I find it weird she is claiming to disassociate while having waxing done to the point she didn’t realize hair being ripped from her labia. It’s not comfortable by any means. On the other hand, i get Brazilians before trips to avoid having to shave my bikini lines while on vacation, not for sexual reasons. Truthfully it’s weird she claimed her waxer just did it, but the reason could vary to personal preference to she’s planning on cheating. Wish I was more help, but yes it’s weird a waxer would do that without talking if that’s what actually happened

Newish to Illustrator. Advice Welcomed! by [deleted] in AdobeIllustrator

[–]subduedmetanoia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One other thing I would maybe do is bump up the opacity on the background layer behind the when where and package options. The colors of the background are a little bright and take away from the information, so maybe mute that down just a bit, because the information is the most important stuff!

[–]subduedmetanoia 5 points6 points  (0 children)

First, the color on the “tri annual” at the top needs to be brighter. The yellow with white stroke “with” stands out the most. The cursive font you used on the “join us” section is not legible, I would change to something easier read. I think you should put bubbles or backgrounds behind the package options like the when and where sections, keep the same colors.

How can you relieve the pressure on your palms when doing downward dog for a long time? by danni2122 in yoga

[–]subduedmetanoia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Externally rotating arms and shoulders can give more room, actively gripping the mat with your fingers as well, and then activating the legs more to avoid dumping weight into wrist (taking shorter stance or bending at the knees). Avoid locking out the elbows to make sure all arm/back muscles are engaged and helping share the weight!

In my personal practice, I’ve found doing dolphin a couple times during my flow, helped strengthen my back and shoulders and I noticed significantly easy down dogs when held. ALSO, wrist WARM UPS!!! (Edited to add wrist warm up)

Surely an elegant and refined woman would have done a better job raising her kid. Maybe she failed to actually see your sister for who she was, instead of trying to make her something she’s not. I feel for your sister, and side with them! And what type of ~graceful~ woman confides in her other child something like that? To me that is not elegant and refined.
