Seeking snowflake-specific yoga rec

Post date: 2020-08-11 01:00:57

I am 90 percent sure I am doing most yoga postures at least a little wrong. I'm convinced there's a YouTube channel that can help me.

I've been doing some beginning yoga with Yogi Ivanka here, and she does a good job in a lot of ways. I have two problems following her lead: For one, I'm an overweight dad pushing 50, so I can't do some of that stuff, especially when she's bending forward from the waist (not that I mind so much; everyone should have the experience of enjoying yoga partly because they can't stop literally laughing out loud at their own efforts).

But the biggest problem is that I don't know how close I am to doing most of these positions right. The most basic ones I think I'm about there, but even something like downward-facing dog, I have no idea what angle my torso and legs are forming. Some of these poses, being just a little off means I'm not stretching/working what I'm supposed to, and I assume I'm occasionally risking injury or something like it. I figure there's gotta be a channel where the audio consistently is telling you where you should be feeling different poses -- you hear 'You should be feeling this in your glutes, and the tightness in your shoulder should make you want to kill me but not yourself,' or something like that, and you know you haven't got it quite right, and you can adjust the pose until you're feeling what you're supposed to be feeling. Would be way more helpful than a mirror, and I wouldn't have to turn my neck toward my laptop so often.

So ... anyone know anything like that?
