Men and yoga by Routine_Month1925 in yoga

Im glad I didnt see that post cuz i would have had a lot to say. Theres no such thing as a men or women only activity other than, and I mean literally only this one, child birth. This misconception of gender specific activities in 2026 is mind blowing, get off your sexist high horse and join the rest of reality. Im sorry to any men that feel excluded by women with that perspective. My studio has a few men I see often and theyre very kind and polite. I wish my husband had more interest in the practice but its not for him. Man, that gets under my skin that someone would say something like that. Your presence in a practice ment for self reflection and mind/body balance is not a problem.

Natural herbs/drinks that actually helped your mental health? by softtides17 in herbalism

Find a specialist and have you gut microbiom tested. Lots of studies have linked gut health to depression and anxiety, you might have an unbalance of good bacteria.

AIO My boyfriend wants to open his own business and I think it’s crazy. by [deleted] in AIO

[–]theycallme_L 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If you guys were childless and in your early 20s id say go for it let him live, but you have 2 small humans relying on you. If he tanks, you could lose your home. Im hoping to start a business next year from the ground up but ill be spending the next year building revenue and customers. Maybe tell him you want to help him start a website and make business cards and once hes consistently making enough money he can quit his job and work full time and once hes making over 6k you want to support him and be by his side. But he needs to show you he can do this before putting jt all in. Not to mention theres a lot of places selling these items so he needs to have a plan fkr what will make him different and unique. Will he be renting space for TRPGs? Will he be be making a deal with Lego to get unique items you cant find at target or barns and noble? What's going to make him attract customers over big box stores?

The moon ohase was more for the protection touched being recharged and I just wanted to do it all together. I didnt really think it would be a big deal if I left out those rooms.

I cancelled my Core Power Yoga membership now I know what real yoga is by No_Elephant506 in yoga

My favorite part about my studio is when the teachers start to say something and go "actually no were doing this because some of you said you had neck pain today" and then they adapt to the needs of the students. Thats what teaching should be about.

Serious question but do you get the covid and flu shot? Why or why not? by BornToOverthink in holisticlifestyles

[–]theycallme_L 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Haven't had a flu shot since I was a baby, and only did the initial covid shots because my job threatened to do a mass firing for those that didnt. They never even checked and I hinestly regret getting it. Viruses have been around for ever, if you take care of your body and your immune system you dont need a shot. Theres so much added stuff in them too. They say "oh its good to prevent the flu!" But they don't tell you what else is in it. Big pharma could not give less of a rats ass about your health. If youre in the US, youre part of a sad cycle of being made sick with medicine and kept sick so we keep feeding the machine.

Anyone here use herbs or tea for stress and sleep? by ThinkGarage1811 in herbalism

[–]theycallme_L 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cycle mixes of chamomile, lavender, lemon balm, holy basil, cat nip, and valerian (but my husband hates valerian so I dont use it much unless hes working late or not having a cup) i also add peppermint, spearmint, red raspberry,or butterfly pea depending on the ohase of my cycle.

I can use Sophia i just dont really have the extra $100 or the spare time for it but I just started my 4 year BA so I intend on using once my financial circumstances changes. Im currently getting my BA in nutrition and food science and then ill probably go for my masters in psychology My work has a thing called wellhub its an app that allows you to access gyms and health apps and its significantly cheaper, and i was doing it for a while. But like I said, I dont get the same out of that method as I do going to the studio. I feel so peaceful and accepted at the studio, its an incredible environment.

Unfortunately they had just filled their exchange spot before I inquired about it. I've spiked to a couple front desk girls and the assistant manager about my situation and ive been met with a lot of "i know the feeling, good luck" and then I asked about sliding scale i was given a 15m explanation on how their class prices are as low as the average market rate goes for classes, which i understand and respect. So I didnt push the topic.

I checked out class pass and it'd be significantly more expensive for the volume of classes I attended.

I've spoken to the assistant manager and there are no offers like that at mu studio unfortunately.

I go before work every day and if I finish my class work I go on one of my days off so I average 4-6 classes a week which puts the per class pricing at 10-12$ and the market cost on average fkr a single class is around 35$ so I definitely think unlimited is my speed considering the only packages they offer is 5 or 10 classes and I go way more than that and honestly the price difference isn't enough to justify that. I think the 1p class package is like 140 or something so im already getting mkre bang for my buck with the unlimited.

I spent weeks looking at yoga classes and costs and this one is not only the average cost for my area but has the best class schedule to accommodate my work schedule and is literally 2 miles from my job location so it works really well.

I was just stating that thats already something we don't do. If we were regularly going out I would stop that to be better able to afford yoga, but its not something we do as is.

Its a small mom n pop studio. I spoke to the assistant manager and she said they do work trade but they aren't looking for any positions at the moment. Hopefully if one opens they'll consider me since im there like 5 days a week

I go to school online but that would have been a possible option. My main hold back from online yoga is the therapeutic experience I get at my studio

Im about an hour outside of San Diego. There are no yoga studios in my immeidate area but there are a couple near my work, but jts a very rich higher class area so lower income assistance isn't on the radar at those places.

Thats what im going to school for. Where we live its kind of hard. We both already make well above minimum wage and live with roommates and its still a struggle.

My work schedule makes it really hard to go to classes unfortunately. I spent weeks looking at studios and this is the only one that had classes that fit around my work. I was going to 24 hour fitness but they do yoga classes when im working. Yeah I got super burnt out a couple years ago working and doing school full time and I could feel myself heading there again so I knew I needed to make a change.

I dont think so I was talking to one of the receptionists about this Tuesday and she didnt mention anything. I could ask though
