@jason-86 - Please let me know your issue. I am sending you a message.

Yoga for hormonal balance is my favorite class. Gomatiji is an excellent teacher.

@annelise-2 thank you for sharing this

@annelise-2 makes sense… I have personally seen how Yin yoga has helped my mom with her health condition. It’s therapeutic

@anirudh-42 Love that question. I was discussing this with some of the nutritionists, just yesterday. Yes, a lot of people turn to AI for their health queries. But when it comes to food and nutrition, that answers that AI generates, still has some factual inaccuracies that only health experts can spot. AI’s responses are also biased, for example if you ask, “why is protein bad for me?” it will share information on those lines, not what is best for you. Plus, AI is still not there, when it comes to personalizing meal plans, since the results are only based on the prompts. It does not factor the intricacies we explore in a nutrition consultation, that goes far beyond counting calories and tracking macros.

@anirudh-42 BMI is one of the indicators of health, but it doesn’t give you the whole picture, like your metabolic health, fat and muscle mass. Two things to reduce your calories would be: Increase the servings of vegetables. They are rich in fibre, lower in calories and great for fat loss. Check the quantity of oil used in a month. Cutting back on that makes a big difference.

@tch-anush-1 what does ahimsa mean in yoga philosophy and how does it apply to our daily lives… I was reading something and found it a bit confusing in terms of daily application. Can you please elaborate on this?

Myth: Yoga is just a fancy form of stretching. While increased flexibility is definitely a benefit, yoga is so much more! It integrates breath work (pranayama), strength building, balance, mindfulness, and even philosophy. It’s a holistic practice that engages your mind, body, and spirit. What’s a benefit of yoga you’ve experienced that goes beyond just stretching?

When I was doing my TTC last year, my teacher would often say - “The yoga pose you avoid the most is the one you need the most.” This quote kept me motivated and going through the TTC and inspires me to this day as well. What yoga quote deeply resonates with you and why? Share it below and let’s inspire each other with the wisdom of the practice! @aarti-73 @ambujam-1 @barbara-130 @tch-brijesh-1 @barkha-19 @chene-1 @chenthil-1 @dharminder-3 @diksha-21 @ekta-103 @emma-81 @grace-137 @goutham-7 @hector-12 @haritha-77 @inju-1 @isheta-1 @jennifer-708 @jackie-18 @kp-9 @kathleen-1 @kanupriya-3 @lata-52 @maria-5 @np-2 @nisha-8 @pinane-1 @pradeep-62 @raman-42 @rashmi-46 @renita-8 @sarita-53 @sanchita-13 @sahitya-14 @tavaria-1 @tch-umesh-2 @vinay-32 @vedant-206 @ximena-12 @yuseli-1 @ziaudeen-1

Hi @kathleen-1 Welcome to the community! I’m Ani Harish, community manager with MyYogaTeacher Thank you for reaching out and sharing your experience. I understand how frustrating and concerning persistent neck and shoulder pain can be, especially after a pinched nerve and potential shoulder injury. It’s definitely wise to be cautious with neck stretches, and I appreciate you sharing your concerns about chronic pain. It sounds like you’re already aware of the benefits of stretching, which is a great start. However, given the persistence of your pain, especially the shoulder discomfort, it’s essential to approach this with a tailored and gentle approach. Here are a few things to consider: Professional Assessment: Since you’ve been experiencing this for a while, consulting a physical therapist or osteopath would be very beneficial. They can accurately assess your condition and provide personalized guidance. Gentle Movement: While stretching is helpful, focusing on gentle movement and range-of-motion exercises can also be very effective. Mindfulness and Breathing: Incorporating mindfulness and deep breathing techniques can help manage pain and reduce stress, which can often exacerbate discomfort.
