Thanks for this response. I found this on the site after I made this post. Unfortunately, I can’t access this from Roku or my iPad, which are how I do my practice and where I interact most with DYWM. (Or am I must missing how to access that “Basics” tab? on those other formats)
so my 10 year goal is to be able to squat comfortably. i have gotten around to being able to squat, but i would not call it comfortable yet ^^ alos my feet are pretty far apart still
i started this journey by doing all kinds of hip opening but i now realize my ancles might be next to target as they prevent my legs from leaning forward enough for the squat to be comfortable…
long story short how would you feel about a class “peak pose comfortable squat”? if you ask me even a 30 da challenge would do it but i guess that would then be 30 videos which i get is a lot to ask
either way, i thank you guys for all you do!!
This is a great focus for a class or a set of classes! Ankles can be part of the limitation and this may be due to the way the joint is set up, skeletal variation is broad in that joint!
Hello! I sometimes feel inspired after a practice to write a public comment (and not just a private note to myself). Is there a place where I can see all of my public comments to different videos in one place in my profile? This will help me to remember my sentiments for the video and I can use it to decide if I am in the right mood to do the video again that day :-). Apologies if this has been asked before. Thank you for your attention.
Yes, in the my studio section of your account you can create play lists of classes and label them accordingly!
Thanks Fiji! However, I think I meant the comments that are posted publicly (not the notes when I save videos in my collections). Can I search for my public comments in my profile somewhere?
Hmm I don’t think you can search for your public comments.
hi maybe it’s been suggested before - what if DYWM provided a donation fund to award gift memberships month by month? would help to keep cash coming in and allow people who might not otherwise have access to try it or have it for a little while?
the recent article was eye opening that only 2 percent of total users are sustaining members - I decided to subscribe again to support and had this thought.
hope dywm continues to have great success
I am glad the staff asked for attention to the issue. All of us involved (from teachers to students) may learn something about Generosity here. This classic came to mind: “Compassion has nothing to do with achievement at all. It is spacious and very generous. When a person develops real compassion, he is uncertain whether he is being generous to others or to himself because compassion is environmental generosity, without direction, without ‘for me’ and without ‘for them.’ It is filled with joy, spontaneously existing joy, and constant joy in the sense of trust, in the sense that joy contains tremendous wealth, richness.”
― Chögyam Trungpa, Cutting Through Spiritual Materialism
The quote makes me think of random acts of kindness, like St. Nicholas Day, like supporting dywm. I love that this unique business and community were formed with generosity in mind and in action, and that all can experience its wealth.
This from a lifelong non-joiner, too!
Yes, as a chronically ill person with zero income I honestly can’t afford to give. This site is helpful to me because I know the classes are good quality and easy to search for. I often don’t have the energy to sift through youtube videos for what I need.
Hello, @mildconfusion, @DaleJRhodes and @taraboo08. I love the feedback, honesty and suggestions. Dale, what a beautiful quote! I love it.
As you can imagine, it’s challenging making a decision like this because it can limit access to specific classes that people depend on. We wouldn’t be doing this if our business model was allowing us to thrive and grow, so we’re making a thoughtful decision that we hope will improve our situation while still supporting everyone in our community.
Thanks again and I love that you are so supportive and open hearted!
Yes I like this pay it forward idea too!!! I am asking the team how we could go about offering that.
