    in reply to: Trouble with legs #3888

    Thanks helcat for posting that. I have muscular legs as well and have wondered if I would be able to completely wrap my legs due to my calves. It’s given me hope to read that you accomplished that. Any other tips will be greatly appreciated. Oh and I love love love the stretch on my shoulders and forearms in eagle pose!! I hold a lot of tension in that area and it’s so relieving once I’ve completed that posture…now for my legs :-/ –Namaste Babz

    in reply to: Proper situp form #3884

    I have been a little confused whenever I am instructed to do this sit up in class. Well, as far as the breathing goes…if that makes sense. What I have been doing is taking a breath before I sit up-holding it in until I am bent forward and then breathing out. However I feel like I have run out of breath and end up taking small breaths and exhaling whilst pulling into a forward bend. I realize I haven’t been sitting up with control either which I will try during my next class. I guess my question would be, am I suppose to breath out as I’m coming up into a sit up or hold my breath. Thanks for your help.
    Namaste,
    Babz

    in reply to: first timer – not so good #3877

    Hi–I am also a newbie to hot yoga although veteran to exercise. I have taken 3 classes and I have found that any backward bending makes me dizzy for a minute and I am learning to just be still and breath. (which is fairly difficult when my body wants to sway back and forth and nod my head forward). Each class has been a little bit different and I am hoping all the sweating will pay off 😆 .
