I'm going to shoot for 2-3 times per week most weeks, I think. Maybe someday I'll graduate to being competent enough to do yoga on my own...but I definitely find the class setting enjoyable. Mrs. Sunshine on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1855450 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:46:40 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1855450@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I usually practice 5 days a week. Ideally I'd do weekends too but those days are for other things :wink: I practice at home as there aren't many class options available in my area & it just doesn't work for me right now. I enjoy it but I would definitely be capable of more if I went to a class namaste on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1855421 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 18:21:29 +0000 namaste 1855421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I got to prenatal yoga once a week and practice at home at least once a day. If my days are busy or I'm not feeling too well (like today), I just take the day off or do small meditation. emileee on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1855192 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 15:03:53 +0000 emileee 1855192@https://boards.hellobee.com/ There are only so many hours I have to spend at the gym so the bulk of that is spent on cardio. I try to make time for yoga at least once a week. mrsjazz on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854972 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 13:19:54 +0000 mrsjazz 1854972@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ideally every day. Right now it's sporadic, whenever I have hip/knee pain I do it often, but when I don't it's about once or twice a month. I would ideally go to a class once a week or once every two weeks and then practice daily at home. mlm2934 on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854958 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 13:12:26 +0000 mlm2934 1854958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ ideally twice a week, currently couple of times every few months lilyofthewest on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854844 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:26:47 +0000 lilyofthewest 1854844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I don't have the discipline to make myself do it outside a formal class setting. I go to classes on both my days off, but, my work schedule isn't really compatible with the classes at any local studios on my working days. I wish I could go one additional day per week. I'm trying to psych myself up to become a regular drop-in at a Wednesday or Thursday class on weeks when I get off work in time. MrsSCB on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854838 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:25:17 +0000 MrsSCB 1854838@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ideally once a week. I get bored really easily with exercise so variety is key for me to keep it up. So basically my ideal is to do a weekly combo of a yoga class, going for a run once or twice, doing workout videos at home, and going to the gym. I actually love my yoga studio and could probably go more times in a week, but it's expensive. All the other things are free :-) Mrs Spoon on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854815 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:18:05 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1854815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Ideally every other day. Currently once a week which still keeps me in pretty good shape. hotchildinthecity on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854808 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 12:15:27 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1854808@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I practice on days i dont have crossfit. I go to CF four times a week and do yoga on the other days.

Think of it as a long term investment if you're really into yoga! It's cheaper on Amazon! <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Yogitoes-Skidless-Groovy-Towel-Springburst/dp/B002TMYFWQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410281529&sr=8-2&keywords=yogitoes" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Yogitoes-Skidless-Groovy-Towel-Springburst/dp/B002TMYFWQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1410281529&sr=8-2&keywords=yogitoes</a> mrsjyw on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854727 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:47:28 +0000 mrsjyw 1854727@https://boards.hellobee.com/ ideally, every other day currently, once a week (class) FliegepilzHut on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1854708 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 11:38:55 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1854708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Okay, these are pretty amazing (if a bit expensive)! A couple of colors are currently 15% off! <a href="http://yogitoes.com/yogitoes-yoga-towels" rel="nofollow">http://yogitoes.com/yogitoes-yoga-towels</a> FliegepilzHut on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1854618 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:41:19 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1854618@https://boards.hellobee.com/ @Mrs. High Heels: Cool! I will definitely check that out, then. FliegepilzHut on "Yoga: How often do you practice?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/yoga-how-often-do-you-practice#post-1854611 Tue, 09 Sep 2014 10:38:09 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1854611@https://boards.hellobee.com/ So, while I'm thinking about this...I've got (and may keep) a monthly "unlimited" membership to a local yoga studio. There are about 5 or 6 different classes per day...and on weeks where I can actually go, I should be fairly free to go to a class morning, mid-day, or occasionally evening. That said, what do you think is the ideal number of practices per week? How often do you practice? Does it make a difference whether you practice alone or in a class setting? I'm still learning...I wouldn't feel "safe" pushing any envelopes without a teacher to help guide me.

My Gaiam mat never really cleans right? There are still stains from when I practiced outdoors over a year ago and they won't go away no matter what I try. My other mat cleans just fine but it's so worn out from a year and a half of practice. emileee on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853957 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 18:48:47 +0000 emileee 1853957@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Hmm...really really rarely! I wipe them down with the wet wipes at the gym when I remember. FliegepilzHut on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853936 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 18:23:53 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1853936@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Thank you all for the answers (and honesty!). I guess I'll just wash it when it gets grimy...which, in direct contact with feet, hands, and face...and sweat (during a Flow class) may be pretty soon. @Mrs. High Heels: Does the towel allow enough "grip"? If so, that seems like a great solution! chibee on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853726 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 15:31:37 +0000 chibee 1853726@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I never did! now i feel dirty.

I'd wipe it down with a lysol wipe or something now that I know. hotchildinthecity on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853658 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:48:45 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1853658@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Didnt know you were supposed to wash it!!

I didn't ever really think about it. But I have always made sure I keep the same side up so I'm not getting floor germs on both sides. I guess it could probably use a spritz before I started back up again :) Mrs. High Heels on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853612 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:20:08 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1853612@https://boards.hellobee.com/ Not that often because I always use my yogitoes towel over it, so I'm rarely directly using the mat! I wash it every 6 months. I just put it through the washer, and let it hang dry outside. Bubbles on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853610 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 14:18:50 +0000 Bubbles 1853610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I have never washed mine! Last time I went to a yoga class (before LO was born), I do remember feeling slightly embarrassed at the state of it - a few coffee stains from early morning yoga and lots of claw marks where the cat used to join in! FliegepilzHut on "How often do you wash your yoga mat?" https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/how-often-do-you-wash-your-yoga-mat#post-1853511 Mon, 08 Sep 2014 13:33:44 +0000 FliegepilzHut 1853511@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I just went to my first yoga class in...awhile...and realized that I never used my own mat in the past. How often do you (and are you supposed to) wash them? MamaChin on "Hot Yogis! Do you..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1793277 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 21:44:19 +0000 MamaChin 1793277@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I always make sure to be in the front row so I don't have to smell people's feet. What's the pose that makes you look like a T? That's the one I hate the most. Don't wear cotton, it'll just soak through and stick to you. skibobrown on "Hot Yogis! Do you..." https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hot-yogis-do-you#post-1793130 Thu, 31 Jul 2014 20:28:25 +0000 skibobrown 1793130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ I used to do hot yoga a ton. Now, not so much. I have no time between work and DD. My gear is regular yoga mat, plus special no-skid yoga towel, and a giant water bottle. I usually wear spandex capris, a sport bra, and a breathable tank. Also, a headband to keep hair and sweat out of my eyes was really helpful. Blooiez on "Hot Yogis!

I tried a 6pm class one time and that did not go well. The other thing is hydrate hydrate. I had 2 liters of water with me.
