First off, I love this sub it is the most encouraging group of people. I have been practicing yoga since I was 14 on and off. I got into it as my first intro to exercise, then it became a mental health saving grace for me during the pandemic and a big move. In the last few years I started shifting to view yoga more as exercise and became increasingly frustrated in slower classes that it was too slow and that I wasn't seeing results fast enough. I took some time away from my may as it wasn't "working" for me.

Cut to this year, I have worked immensely on a meditation practice and managing my mental health. I have returned to yoga once again but this time viewing it more as a mind-body practice rather than a workout. The physical benefits are great yes but I have reframed my relationship to the practice as a way to connect with myself and start my day centred. I set a non-physical or aesthetic intention at the start of each practice and have noticed I enjoy it so much more. Now I start my days with yoga whether its 30 min or 1 hour and the rest of my day is calm and centred.

I struggle with anxiety and am a chronic over planner and type A person. I have been working seriously on my mindfulness and meditation practice for the last year and have noticed a big shift in my emotion regulation, reactivity and anxiety levels. One thing I cannot yet master is my compulsion to over plan and sometimes to get carried away with worries about the plans. I'm wondering how you balance planning for the future while remaining mindful and present focused.

I’m new to Solidcore and loving it, I did 2 starters and felt pretty confident in the moves. Unfortunately I couldn’t get into another starter class and booked myself into a signature50. How screwed am I?

We are a team of researchers at the University of Windsor studying appearance related teasing and bullying and how this relates to body image issues/body dysmorphia in later life. We are looking for about 15-20 cisgender men to participate in our 30 minute online survey. We are looking for those who reside in Ontario, Canada who are 18+, have a history of being bullied for their appearance and who are cisgendered to participate.

As a note, we recognize that teasing and bullying is a significant aspect of TGNC individuals' lives, TGNC individuals were excluded from this study to ensure sample consistency and because experiences of bullying and body image among TGNC populations may differ significantly from those of cisgender participants. These unique experiences merit focused research that was outside the scope of the present study.

Hey everyone recently I’ve planted lemon balm and mint. I’m hoping to dehydrate it to have herbal tea over the winter. Does anyone have any tips on making tea leaves from your garden?

I’ve been so nervous to try solidcore but I went and I absolutely loved it! I did a starter50, the vibe was great so welcoming and friendly but holy hell they call it solid core for a reason.

Just curious how often everyone goes during the week?

The last 2 weeks I've been battling some seasonal allergies, headache, runny nose, the usual. Once this week and last I've received the alert that I had minor signs of something straining my body. All of my other biometrics have been fine so I'm wondering if the ring can pick up on the symptoms that come along with seasonal allergies?
