I watched a clip where a yogi explains how much living in this world would hurt, and then she proceeds with "but".
But have you learned about fireflies, how the veins of the leaf are seen much closer, and all the other things that outweigh the hurt.
It made me cry for some reason. I just had to document this and put my teary eyes somewhere so I can look at it one day and remember that I have overcome and I am overcoming still.
I wanted to die, because I knew deep down that it wasn't the proper way to live.
I wish I could go back in time and just hug my younger self. I cry for her. As much as I am proud of her, I cry for her.

Firefly the Titibhasana
Tumblr media
Firefly the Titibhasana is an innovative yoga pose that offers a wide array of benefits. It strengthens the core, arms, back, and legs while detoxifying the body and stimulating digestion. Firefly Pose deeply stretches the hips and shoulders, while opening up the lungs for improved breathwork. Practicing the pose can also help to improve balance and coordination and to release emotional tension. Additionally, Firefly Pose can help to restore focus and clarity of presence. It is an excellent posture for both beginners and experienced yogis alike, especially for anyone looking to gain more strength and flexibility. Read the full article

Yoga is a state of being, not a performance. Asana is merely a tool to help practitioners enter the subtle body. No one can judge yoga from the outside looking in. Only you can experience yoga from the inside out. If you haven’t found the state of yoga yet, then keep practicing and keep looking within. Practice live with me online on @omstarsofficial In-person classes in the US (Yin on April 6) and training courses (next one in July) in Miami @miamiyogagarage Next workshops in Charlotte, Chicago, NYC and Miami.

We all have those things that we keep working toward and strive to make better. Right now, mine are yoga poses, reading more, daily meditation, and decreasing my phone time when I am around friends. Crow pose is something I never thought I would achieve. My arms are still pretty bent, but you can kind of see that little lean forward, balance, and straighten that I am working towards. I’m far from it, but my core and inversion flows are super helpful. Firefly is still not something I can do well. I am still amazed that I can even get my feet off the ground. My goal for this month is to drop my booty without falling. Thank god I have a few more weeks. Supported headstand is getting smoother and now I am trying to add in core strengthener by folding over and back up. You can see the half one I was able to do. Tripod Headstand is terrifying to me. My balance isn’t there. At all. But, I am getting better. Sometimes it is nice to fall to remind me to laugh at myself and try again. Not featured is handstand practice which is coming along. Just not as fast as I had thought it would. Yoga never fails to teach me patience with every practice. #yogi #crow #firefly #bopoyoga #practiceyogachangeyourworld #everybodyisayogabody #bellyrollsarecute (at Honolulu, Hawaii)

✨HOW TO: TORTOISE ✨ - SWIPE for how to enter this pose. - #kianangyogatutorials - This is great prep. for #firefly! Sometimes students complain about pressure on their elbows. This is usually because the knees aren’t high enough up the arm. Another variation you could do is to take the legs in bound angle shape instead. - To make sure that you don’t miss a tutorial (every Tuesday), turn on post notifications and ENGAGE with me! 🙏🏼 - Tag a friend you want to work flexibility with! 🔥 - LEGGINGS: @onzie MAT: @liforme . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . #Yoga #YogaEveryDamnDay #YogaEveryWhere #IGYogaCommunity #yogi #yogini #ILoveYoga #Strong #YogaInspiration #YogaLove #YogaFun #YogaLife #YogaPractice #PracticeYogaChangeYourWorld #Fit #Fitness #YogaPose #Strength #Balance #YogaProgress #Flexible #Flexibility #YogaTeacher #yogatutorial #onlineyoga #tutorial #tuesdaytutorial #tortoise https://www.instagram.com/p/B0jDj7rA7pE/?igshid=1w4lkn7qxkga3

🖤f r i d a y f l o w🖤 I found myself getting super frustrated on my mat today. I was practicing handstands and forearm stands for a while and would find my balance then go to try it again and fall right out of it 🙄 #thestruggle But! On a positive note I have been working on #titibhasana or #firefly and about a year ago I was using blocks and couldn't get my feet off the floor. Flash forward to now, with no blocks I can straighten my legs!...for about 3 seconds 🙈 #progressnotperfection We get so caught up with where we want to be, which is great! We need that push and that drive! But when you start to get discouraged just look at how far you have come ✨💕 . . . . . 🎶 Tycho: Coastal Break #fridayflow #yoga #yogi #strength #yogaeverydamnday #balance #health #wellness #fit #fitgirl #fitfam #fitness #fitnessmotivation #fitspo #bbg #bbgcommunity #nyc #redhead #freckles #inspiration #strongnotskinny #selflove #progress #flow (at ANYA)

Pain is Your Friend: A “Painfully Honest” Messenger About Your Yoga Practice
Tumblr media
Anyone that is struggling with chronic discomfort is already stating, "What is this moron speaking about?" Having suffered my very own reasonable share of extreme discomfort, I must state I would gladly have actually murdered that "pal" and hidden it at the end of the garden. In this article, we will certainly concentrate on sharp pain, the type of pain that might occur during your technique, or within the subsequent day approximately. We will check out the typical scenarios that might trigger discomfort, and the course of activity you need to follow.
When you experience pain, it is, in effect, your body attempting to speak with you. Possibly it's claiming that it's not delighted with the aberrant placement it locates itself in, the damages that has actually been done to it, the tension patterns that are developing, or on a positive note, that structural adjustment is happening. Usually, it is claiming, "Back the heck off."
When doing asana (the physical technique), it's easy sufficient ahead throughout pain, either during the technique, directly after, or a number of days later on. For a pursuit concentrated on balancing and opening up the body in a gentle and controlled method, it occasionally appears we are instead putting our bodies with the wringer.
Tumblr media
I invest 6 months yearly in Goa assisting yogis with their injuries, as well as it's reasonable to state I discover it tough to discover enough time to see everybody. Many individuals come to yoga with existing injuries, intending to utilize asana as a healing technique. Regrettably, a reasonable number of us manage to injure our bodies with our technique. Ideally, as yogis, we are extra sensitive to what's taking place in our bodies, more quickly seeing inequalities, tension patterns, and pain, yet this is only possible if we take regard. It is extremely easy to obtain captured up in desiring to take our technique to the next degree, neglecting what our bodies are attempting to inform us.
Pain During Yoga Practice
Every time we step onto the floor covering, we are asking our bodies to relocate into positions that may offer the possibility for soft tissue damage. At certain threat of injury seem to be shoulders, reduced back, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and neck (not much left). We might put stress on the joints as well as their sustaining frameworks (tendons and also cartilage material) or particular muscles or groups of muscular tissues (e.g., hamstrings). So exactly how do we interpret what our bodies are saying?
Padmasana (Lotus Posture) is the perfect yoga exercise pose, and also thus, our enthusiasm to achieve a form of the stance appears to load our ears with cotton wool. If your hip joints do not conveniently externally turn, you are more than most likely to experience discomfort in the knee (either medially or laterally) and/or the ankle (typically simply below the front edge of the side (outdoors) ankle bone). This discomfort is because of the tendons being stressed also much, as well as your body is stating, "Maintain going, and also damage will certainly happen."
Ligaments are only gently flexible, permitting for maybe only a 6 percent stretch before tissue damages happens, and they do not repair easily due to a very little blood supply. Unless your tendons are chronically reduced due to some previous trauma, there is absolutely nothing to be gained by overstretching them. Their task is to provide architectural stability to joints by limiting activity in undesirable instructions. By loosening them, you are not becoming extra versatile. Instead, you are threatening their function.
So if you discover yourself in this scenario, don't hang it out in the posture assuming that by suffering the discomfort, you will at some point open that location. You might harm on your own before you obtain there. Rather, leave it and exercise other poses that concentrate on the location where you wish to enhance flexibility. Revisit the position several weeks later on to see if it is a lot more comfortable. This is not the exact same situation as actively placing light tension on the joints to elicit a favorable reaction, such as with Yin Yoga.
In the situation of Padmasana, it is essential to recognize that a viewed absence of "openness" in your hips may not be associated to soft tissue inflexibility. It's totally feasible that inhibited exterior turning results from the construction of your hip joints. If that holds true, no amount of extending will enable you to exercise full Padmasana-- and also that's alright.
Tumblr media
Another location of usual injury as well as discomfort is where the muscles connect to the bones using tendons (their origins and also insertions). In this circumstances, the pain is sharp. Its specific area is quickly determined.
Repeated extending near your limit of flexibility might emphasize these areas, causing damages to the tendon fibers, causing inflammation. Due to all the forward folding in yoga, a constant website for this kind of discomfort is where the hamstrings connect to the ischial tuberosity (sit bone).
If you ignore this pain, which might start out as more of a worrying inflammation, the injury is likely to worsen, become persistent, and also start to hurt not just when you're ahead bending, but additionally when you're resting as well as strolling. In these instances, you must change in order to enable the swollen location to recover. If you are feeling pain in a position, you need to withdraw until it does not harmed. This may look like usual feeling, but I bet that at lot of times throughout a yoga course, there are people just attempting to disregard some pain or various other, wishing that the later repercussions will not be too bad.
So what around when we feel an abrupt acute pain while practicing, and also it hurts to relocate the angering limb (to varying levels)? Do we plow on wishing that it will relieve? I would claim no, the longer you go on, the most likely you are to make things even worse. It is very easy for the visibility of endorphins and also the distraction of the technique to mask truth level of the damage.
The finest program of action is to quit as well as initiate the RICE protocol (rest, ice, compression, elevation) as soon as possible. If you didn't require it, no damage would be done, yet if you did, you would profit from punctual activity. The topping, in particular, will certainly decrease swelling in the area and aid decrease the quantity of damages, and the earlier it is used, the better.
When icing, never ever put the ice straight on the skin unless you are mosting likely to keep it relocating (such as with an ice massage therapy), as well as restrict the moment of application to 20 minutes for more fleshy locations (e.g., thighs) and also 10 mins for bony areas like the feet and also hands. You might ice often. Simply enable a space of a minimum of half an hour in between applications. A good indication that it is risk-free to reapply ice is that the skin and tissue have actually gone back to normal temperature. Just bear in mind icing for too lengthy can create tissue damage, especially on the fingers as well as toes-- think about frostbite.
Pain After Yoga Practice
Okay, you have a good method, and after that the following day, or the day after, you get that sensation like you've aged ten years over night. Muscle mass soreness, inflammation, and rigidity permeate your body, as well as you seem like anything however a bendy yogi. The experience might be very local, restricted to one or 2 muscle mass, or it may cover a larger area. When the angering areas are in the resting setting, you do not feel discomfort. It is just when the muscles are gotten or stretched that you experience the complete magnificence of what is happening.
This body response is called delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS for short. If you have actually really offered on your own a looking at, it may last 5 to seven days, however generally 2 to four sees the rear of it. The factor might be that you are brand-new to yoga exercise, yet this experience is by no methods limited to the beginner. If you have had a long term break, amped up your practice, or started doing some poses that use extra stamina than common, you may well sustain a little suffering.
So what's the cause, and also what can you do regarding it if it happens? A few of you could currently enter with "an accumulation of lactic acid," and I will certainly claim, "err, no." It is now currently accepted that lactic acid build-up might assist produce the tiredness pain connected with intense task, yet is not responsible for postponed beginning muscle soreness, as the degree of lactic acid in the muscle mass has actually been revealed to return to typical within one hr of exercise termination.
As a dual "no," lactic acid is linked with anaerobic workout. Because of the intensity of the exercise and the high power demand of the muscular tissues, the body is compelled to produce energy without making use of oxygen. Consequently, lactic acid ends up being manufactured therefore of the metabolic waste produced by this methods of power manufacturing. Sprinting might create this, but yoga exercise not a lot. (Well alright, you might feel this kind of melt in Titibasana (Firefly Pose) B, C, and also D if you have limited hamstrings as well as are striving with your quadriceps to straighten your legs. That's a "yes" for me).
Tumblr media
What Causes Postponed Start Muscle Mass Soreness?
There is still much difference regarding the specific reason for delayed start muscle soreness, but it seems to steam down to a mix of elements (e.g., swelling, boosted level of sensitivity of nerve receptors) arising from microdamage experienced by muscular tissue fibers and the connected connective cells. This damages is more probable to occur throughout eccentric contraction (antagonizing a load while lengthening).
For example, the triceps muscles are functioning eccentrically when we lower down right into Chaturanga Dandasana (Four-Limbed Team Posture).
This pain is not necessarily all negative. Postponed beginning muscle soreness is a sign that your body is adjusting to the brand-new anxieties to which it is being subjected. It must not be puzzled, however, with repetitive pressure injury, which is a much sharper pain and stands for damages being done instead of adaptation.
Delayed start muscle mass discomfort may, in certain scenarios, also be used as a barometer of practice intensity. I keep in mind several moons earlier, in my fitness center days, that if I really did not obtain delayed beginning muscle mass soreness the day after training, I would think about that I hadn't educated hard enough because session, which motivated me to work more difficult next time. Thankfully I utilized a split regimen (different body parts on various days), which allowed me to avoid revamping the area impacted by postponed start muscle mass discomfort for numerous days.
I am not suggesting right here that you ought to lay out in your yoga technique to experience delayed start muscle mass discomfort, however sometimes it's not a bad thing. As postponed beginning muscle soreness is really felt just in the muscle mass that have been striven (either by tightening or stretching), it can actually tell you rather a lot. Say, for instance, you have made a decision that your method has been overlooking your quadriceps, so you include in some postures that you believe may make a hit. If you experience postponed beginning muscular tissue pain in that location, you can be guaranteed you have obtained it right.
On the various other hand, if your educator may have recommended you to attempt and engage a particular muscle mass when doing a particular position. Delayed beginning muscle discomfort may show that you were doing what you assumed you were. Of course, if you utilize this muscular tissue a lot already, you might not experience delayed start muscular tissue pain. On the other hand, you may occasionally get a sign that you are utilizing specific muscle mass also much.
Tumblr media
What To Do Regarding Delayed Start Muscular tissue Soreness
So a little delayed onset muscle discomfort can be wonderful. Yet excessive, as well as we need a treatment. It may hurt to relocate your sore muscular tissues, however in fact, that's specifically things to do. Light workout, such as gentle biking, will assist ease those uneasy feelings. Light extending is additionally great, so a gentle yoga method is additionally fine. Remember: much like the health club training, if you intend to still practice strong, that's also great, yet you need to change the asanas you do so that you are not functioning the afflicted area strongly.
If you like the "unpleasant medication" training course of action, an ice bathroom will aid for certain. Top athletes often have an ice bath directly after a tough session to try to decrease the effects of postponed start muscular tissue pain and also promote a quicker recuperation. As high as I wish to claim or else, massage therapy, although extremely useful for treating many injuries, may give short-term remedy for delayed onset muscle mass pain yet will certainly not quicken the duration of the symptoms.
What About Rigidity After Yoga Exercise Practice?
I understand that I have actually most likely babbled on for far as well long already, yet right here's simply one more point. Sometimes you obtain a feeling of rigidity and soreness the following day that seems a little bit like delayed onset muscle mass pain. Possibly this limits your series of motion a little bit as well as may create aches when resting. Common websites for this kind of feeling would be the neck and also reduced back. What you have actually most likely done here is to worry the tendons because location. What your body is doing right here is tightening up the muscular tissues bordering the area that you have overstressed in an attempt to splint as well as rather paralyze the area.
Unlike postponed beginning muscular tissue soreness, where you may be ready to think, no worry, modification is underway, in these circumstances you need to check and look at what you are performing in your practice and also make changes. It could be that you are being too aggressive in your forward bends, or maybe there's as well much stress on your neck in Sarvangasana (Shoulderstand Pose) or Sirsasana (Headstand Pose). Or perhaps you're making use of a little head flick in the infamous Urdhva Dhanurasana (Wheel Posture). Whatever the cause, require time to determine what you require to do to remove the pressure you are putting on these areas.
Tumblr media
It is usually claimed that as yogis, we can heal a lot of our injuries on the floor covering. I would claim that this is fantastic guidance, yet just if taken the right method. What it does not suggest is to keep with what you have been doing, waiting on the pain to go when in some way yoga exercise amazingly kinds it out. In my mind, what we are discussing is making use of every sensitivity you have established in your technique to figure out where the issues are emerging from and after that making adjustments as needed. Concentrate on opening those areas that might be triggering stress and anxiety to be experienced in various other areas. Most of all, pay attention to your body and also allow it direct you.
