Hi yoga community! I’m a 31F and have recently started my yoga journey. I’ve really enjoyed classes so far and find that the movement feels good (have mostly taken vinyasa classes) and I get into a good headspace and can also “log off” from my work life and screens during dedicated yoga class time.

I’ve bought myself a mat to start practice at home but I’m finding that I can’t focus or concentrate well. Most beginner videos I find on YouTube are quite slow paced which isn’t necessarily a bad thing - it just doesn’t suit my current attention span!

Does anybody have any tips, especially regarding setting/environment, timing, and video suggestions? Thanks in advance!

alright sorry for doomposting (not really) but for me it was when i realised that many (not all) colleagues who looked impressive on paper with multiple leadership roles, qualifications, research projects are absolute monkeys and that all the posturing doesn’t equate to being an an adequate clinician or even a good person and compassionate doctor.

the other is the scam state of medical colleges taking thousands of dollars from each member at any opportunity possible with no transparency on how it’s spent. and then releasing public statements which are lip service of health advocacy while still individually treating junior doctors like expendable dirt.

anyway how’s your wednesday going..

Anyone here employed in a shoestring department and deal with a colleague that frequently needs to take time off? What ended up happening to them and how do you deal with the guilt when you have to take sick/personal leave when you know everyone is stretched thin?

I find this time of year a lot more people are either sick from winter ailments, burnt out from overwork and covering others, and a combination of both. The compound effect is unfortunate.

just for a bit of fun: a non medical friend of mine (early 30s if that’s relevant) claims that every doctor she knows knows how to party hard.

to me that’s probably confirmation bias as I reckon this would be the small minority my colleagues!
