post workout recovery yoga--when to do it??

2008-05-13T08:27:34-08:00

I am training for triathlons. On the weekends I am either simulating a triathlon and working out super hard or having the actual triathlon events.

For muscle recovery, what do you think is most beneficial--doing a yoga class the same day as the hard workout or waiting until the next day? I probably cannot fit in both days.

Thanks for your thoughts,

surgery - when to restart classes?

Hi all - How soon can you start up hot yoga again after breast augmentation surgery? I can’t wait to go back to classes. My doctor hasn’t even heard of this yoga, so he couldn’t provide any advice. Just for some background, I have been taking classes for about a year before my surgery. Thanks in advance.

30 Day Challenge

Hi Gabrielle

I have just finished my 28th class of a 30 Day challenge, so almost at the finish line.

Even though I usually practice 5-6 times a week I can’t believe the difference going 7 days a week has made (besides trying to keep up with the laundry!)

It has definitely helped me become much more aware of my body and how different every class can be. Some days have been amazing and I’ve felt that the class has been a true meditation experience, and then others, for seemingly no rhyme or reason, have been a 90 minute struggle full of aches and pains. Ugh…

I’ve also noticed that in the past few classes I’ve felt a huge emotional release (to the point of tears - which luckily blend with the sweat .

I’ve heard that this is a sign of old stored emotion, tension being released. I’m curious to know how this effects our body and chakras etc. Are there ways to know if we have blockages in our bodies and how to release them?

Appreciate your thoughts on this

More I practice…more sore I feel??

I’ve noticed that I’m able to go deeper into the poses...now that I’ve been practicing for several months. I also notice feeling more sore the following day. What’s up with that??

Just thought I kick this topic off by sharing my experience so far.

I have started practicing hot yoga at the beginning of January this year so I am only a newbie but I LOVE IT!!!

At the moment I am doing 3 classes a week but I am going to increase frequency to 4-5 a week in February. I already feel my body is going through so many changes both mentally and physically so I cannot wait to see what will happen on the next part of my yoga journey...!
