When I first tried it, down dog let me do three sessions before committing my credit card info. I think…not sure if that’s still their business model or not.
Anyway, I gladly paid for it with a yearly subscription after the trial period. It’s a really good format and is so customizable it awesome. Or there is a progressive program too where you start easy and build your practice.
Plus they have HIIT, barre, 7 minute workout, prenatal, etc.

Hey friend, I was doing zoom yoga for a bit, but it was hard to see postures and such, so I went back to YouTube videos. Tho I do still do a zoom yoga nidra once or twice a week which I really enjoy…it is free…I could ask Mary Katherine the instructor if others can join if you are interested in yoga nidra (“sleep yoga”).

My disconnection is tied up with some other stuff. It’s a shame but for now I just need to have the pressure taken off. The fact that yoga was becoming pressure says it all really, ha.
I had only been doing online classes for a while. Maybe that was part of it, the disconnect from community and retreat into my own head. A friend invited me to an online kundalini class once a week which I might try and dip into at some point.
For now I am focusing on dancing, just subscribed to Body Groove and really enjoying it so far.

On YouTube you can find some yoga nidra by Amrit Yoga Institute (where my yoga nidra instructor learned it), also videos by Lauren Ostrowski Fenton…I love her voice and approach to yoga nidra…she is a favorite of mine. I see also Heart Alchemy has a yoga nidra with singing bowls, that might be nice, I find the bowls relaxing.
Yoga Nidra, if you aren’t familiar with it, is simply yogic sleep…laying in shavasana and listening to the instructor as you enter the in between place between sleep and being awake…very relaxing.

I feel like I have learned some really valuable stuff through yoga and meditation but I can’t do everything and I just want to do something that’s FUN. I’m always so serious/ depressed/ anxious it’s nice to just let loose.

I suppose it’s that I was so committed to them and then when I stopped practicing regularly it became something else I wasn’t doing well enough.
What is fun, is actually a really good question. I’ve got lots of thoughts on this that I’m struggling to order in my head, let alone to write out! Some bullet points for an attempt…
- fun is getting out of head and getting away from myself. Yoga and meditation offer this to a point but maybe more a sense of calm
- getting away from myself probably not a healthy way to live
- dancing gives me an endorphins/ dopamine/ serotonin release that I don’t get many other places
- it’s a joyous thing that makes me smile spontaneously which also doesn’t happen that often
- sometimes I feel like I am chasing the kind of high I used to get from ecstasy
- difficult to separate what is chasing the high and what is normal fun
And there is lots more jumble in my head relating to the bigger picture of my life and what I’m doing with it. All the fun stuff

Absolutely, it’s definitely not the yoga and meditation it’s all the drama I have attached to them. I have a tendency to overcommit to things and tie my sense of self worth up in my achievements. Not cracked the being gentle/ forgiving with myself yet! The frustrating thing is that yoga and meditation would probably help
