    in reply to: post workout recovery yoga–when to do it?? #3191

    Gabrielle,

    Consider me very dense, let me see if I understand what you are saying, that Bikram Yoga shouldn’t be used for muscle recovory stretching because it is too much stress on the body after working my body through a triathlon, and that I should instead do just gentle stretches using “the Complete At Home Stretch Guide” for muscle recovery the day of the events or super hard workouts. And then a day later I can follow up with my Bikram Yoga practice, or should I even be waiting 2 days later???

    Is that the essence of what you said? Sorry I’m slow at times.

    Thanks for your insights,

    Jill

    in reply to: slipping and sliding feet #3154

    So I went tonight to yoga and my triangle poses were definitely improved although I still struggled with my feet slipping. I tried to concentrate on grounding my straight-leg big toe and squeezing that same legs buttock muscle. I think that I will of course need to keep practicing those 2 things. I did have trouble evenly distributing my weight, but I did remember to make sure my elbow and not my upper arm was at my bent knee.

    I am not quite getting my bent knee’s thighs parallel yet, the stretch to get there is too deep to be comfortable and hold the pose without being in a lot of discomfort so that may just take time for my inner thighs to become more flexible and stronger at the same time.

    Gabrielle and Jacquie thank you for the information, and I will continue to read through your posts above before yoga class and concentrate on those points you made.

    Thanks again,

    Jill
