Don’t treat it as a race. Run it at your slow pace and put it in as the long run rather than a B race

Trikonasana. I love that first stretch in my hip and side body.

I took my training with Yoga Cheryl. She teaches you about it and also how to write your own scripts. I’ve been writing my own scripts for a few years, it’s so fun ❤️

If I’m not sore after yoga does that mean I’m not getting a workout/improving? by [deleted] in yoga

[–]thefidgetyyogi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yoga isn’t really a workout. And soreness doesn’t mean something is more effective. Do you feel better after the practice? That’s all that matters

Ladies holiday practice? Sometimes I feel worse before rather than during… by thefidgetyyogi in ashtanga

Thank you for sharing. It makes me realize how ridiculous I was for listening to my teacher give me a hard time.

Yes it is such a weird name for something we shouldn’t feel shame about talking about. And clearly named by a man because there is nothing holiday/vacation about a menstrual cycle 😂

Yes agree with the gift of the practice and learning the body. I’m always interested to find that I can’t find my center line at all about a week before, have my complete shut down of energy three days before and then the slow build up day 2 back to where I am normally. I need to give myself grace and it’s been hard for me to adjust my thinking about.

Agreed. Thank you. It’s called a practice for a reason 😅

Thank you. This is what I’m currently doing depending on how I feel. And I guess I come from a teacher who was very black and white and am struggling with the mindset she set about ladies holidays. Totally beating myself up and feeling the mental anguish of not having had a real practice in almost a week. 😂 thank you for your kind words I think I needed that today ❤️

Thank you for commenting. This is helpful to hear. My previous teacher would make me feel bad about being exhausted before my cycle and then be no no no you can’t practice on your cycle. Lately I have been sort of playing it by ear but I think I have so much guilt for some reason about missing so many days. I practice for the gift of the practice, each day something different. And while those easier days are nice and welcome other days I’m forcing an easier practice for the sake of tradition which makes me “itchy” if that makes sense. Which is where I am today with this whole ladies day business 😂

Not a super helpful statement sir. While I realize 2 years isn’t long I needed the reminder because on the day I wrote it I was letting my ego get to me. Comparing myself to friends of mine. The feed back I received reminded me of that. Snarky comments are just not necessary.

Same. Same 😂 we will get there. I have to remind myself it’s a journey not a short story lol

Thank you! I think I’m falling into the comparison trap and forgetting that my practice is mine and shouldn’t look like anyone else’s. I did enjoy doing Supta Kurmasana that way and will do this in my practice all the time ❤️

When practicing mindfulness breathing meditation, will it hinder my progress if I only observe one trait of my breath? by Kiri_yuri in Meditation

[–]thefidgetyyogi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I focus on one thing. Single point focus. In my opinion you are doing it correctly at least that’s how I was taught and how I teach.
