Greetings all. New to the community. I’m 48 years old and have been training for about a year (though trained for 4 years about 10 years ago - ego kept producing injuries - I’m mostly wiser now). I’m about 210 and 6’2 on the more muscular side.
I’m going to commit to YogaBjJ as part of my routine to allow me to keep longevity and improve my game.
My question is whether I should try and supplement Yoga with weightlifting as well or whether I’ll get all the strength i need here. Have 3 young kids, run a business and so time is at a premium after 4-5 days a week of BJJ training.
Any thoughts or similar experiences welcome. Thank you

Any tips for Spondylolisthesis? I have this condition and it basically means that one of my vertebra has slipped relative the next vertebra, this results in pain, stiffness and numbness in my left hip area, going down the leg (probably because of some kind of pressure on the ischas nerve). I only get this when I stand up or walk for a few minutes. I can train BJJ like usual without any problem. I should avoid all backward arches similar to cobra/upward dog.

i would like to become an affilite however the affiliate page is bugging so i cant access it.
since all the enourmos benefit this already gave me i want to spread it but why not spread it and break bread together at the same time.
is it okay if i film myself during the morning yogas sometimes and put it out publicly on social medias?
mostly i will be filming myself but here 10,10 and 10/30 etcetera in the background. i ask since its your content and i dont know the rules.

the reasons why is that i had many injuries, used to have a drug problem, came to late to graduation, mostly trained nogi so i recently learned legdrag and kneeslide properly.
i combine escapeology bjj and yoga for bjj as a morning routine normanly after i taken a outside walk, i find it a super strong morning routine that makes me feel good the rest of the day.
Now moneyt is tight but hopefully may ill get my blue belt since i got my whitebelt 2012 im probably one of the most experienced whitebelts...
Yogaforbjj help me get fruit to get it happen, my hip neck, shoulders feels so much better and little quraks comapred to normal yoga makes you feel powerful knowing its crossing over perfectly to bjj and gives you a perfect and realistic challange. Love it.

Hey guys. I need some help please. I've had pain in my 50 year old big toe since February and have been nursing it through training by sticking to positional sparring. I have primarily been doing Sebs intermediate classes on a loop 3 days a week for almost 3 years, I've been at bjj 7 years. I'm training bjj maybe 3-4 days a week on average. My yoga has also been much impacted by the pain in my toe. Walking and running during warm up is all fine.
I've been to a foot clinic, podiatrist and finally got to see an orthopaedic surgeon today who looked at my MRI and said it was Hallux Rigidus or an arthritic mtp joint and there was nothing he could do. He said surgery would take it from 80% to 60. At the minute if I drive off, land heavy or stub it the pain is acute. Otherwise it's not so bad. He said I could continue but left me kind of hanging as to how long more I could expect to be able to train for and the long term prognosis.
I'm pretty gutted tbh. Didn't really know who to talk to about it. I've had some good support on this forum before so I'm hoping there are a few more aged grapplers with dicky toes that can offer up some advice. Thanks in advance.
OSS!

Might be a stupid question, but can I add e.g. a 10 in 10 series to my calendar all at once?

How do I email yoga for BJJ customer service? I've looked on the app and website but can't find an email or place to contact them. Any info appreciated. Cheers.

Hey! Could anyone recommend a video to follow to increase squat depth? I can't even get parallel at the moment!
