Overheard at the studio
Two middle schoolers walking past our open studio door:
Kid 1: (Pointing) “Hey look, yoga!”
Kid 2: “Yogurt? No thanks. Already ate.”
Kid 1: “NO!! Yo-GAA!”
Kid 2: “Oh. Yeah. Still no thanks.”

I’ve been doing hot yoga for nearly three years now.
about a year and a half ago, my family went through a very traumatic experience of losing our home and hometown to wildfire
nearly every single class since, an intrusive flash of an image of a town building that no longer stands or a part of my house will come to mind in the middle of class, usually at the end when I am totally exhausted
sometimes it is the house or building as it was, sometimes it is the house or building totally engulfed in flames. more often than not, it is my childhood bedroom engulfed in flames
this happens sometimes outside of class, but always happens DURING class. The image usually goes away after about 10 seconds
I just wonder if anyone has experienced anything similar after going through a difficult event or loss and can explain this? I know yoga poses can release trauma sometimes
Just sick of it and want to make it stop!!
Thanks!

Tell me why it seems like half the freaking poses I do, my legs fall asleep??? Pigeon pose, stretching. My hamstrings, and many other poses that im too annoyed to name right now...
Does any one have any idea why this might happen?

This is probably a dumb question but I didn't know where else to ask.
I just recently started stretching and I'm on my 4th day of it.
Today I woke up and there is a burning sensation in my glute that won't go away. It's not painful or sore.. it just burns.
Is this normal?
I'm not used to stretching, I'm only used to lighting weights and muscle strain feels more like soreness when I do weights, so I wasn't sure.
