Change and challenges and cardboard boxes, oh my. I haven’t shared my practice in almost a year. I haven’t taught a class in almost a year. My yoga became private and personal and so much less physical.

Friends would say “yoga still going great?” And I didn’t ever know how to answer. Yoga is always going great, I just am not going great. Greatness is an ideology perpetuated by social media and “look at me” values so many (myself included!) Have. But fuck that.

Fuck thinking you have to be awesome at something to share it. Fuck thinking your mess can’t be seen. Fuck admitting you’re scared and imperfect. That’s the point of yoga. To liberate yourself. Doesn’t matter how or for what just so long as you are free and tuned in to the Now.

So next time don’t check yourself. Allow yourself to be a wreck. Then pick up, dust off, And keep going.

Rest and Reset

It's so important to listen to your body. Mine has felt so sluggish and the weather but I also started my period after a night of moderate drinking. Today I'm just a big bloated lazy mess. So be it.

Is it ideal? Of course not. I feel unhealthy as hell but! Am I going to beat myself up for it? Hell na

Tomorrow is a new day and there will be cramps so I'm dedicating it abs and yoga for back relief.

Also, got my hands on a resistance band (thnx mom's guest room closet of mysteries and intrigue). So this opens up all sorts of fun new things.

And who knows. Maybe yoga pics again 😎

Blogilates and Self Care

A pinch of both goes a long ways.

It's insanely early and another freezing rain spring storm is rolling in.

School and Moving and holy fuck I want to sleep in my bed tonight.

Yoga later and more on that later

Hi.

I moved. Am moving. Well currently I’m eating gross small town Chinese food (lo mein bitches) and justifying not going to school since its storming with freezing rain and dropping temps. But I’m moving.

I am processing news of family members having cancer.

I have not been to yoga in.. Weeks. I couldn’t tell you where my mat is.

Kimba is happy and fluffy and snuggling. Maybe she just wants my food.

I am alive though! I have a new personal challenge.

Just trying to find the words

I miss that hallway!

Several days later

Today was about respecting the space.

I keep showing up on my mat with the same teacher and same bad playlist. But I love it.

Y?

Mostly bc the students I've noticed every week at the same time have been at it a whole lot and they dig the hell out of the atmosphere created. The teacher cultivates this and I do my part. However. Sometimes I get really into a flow. Like REALLY into it

This can shift the environment or space. I'm usually good about taking advancements or modifications even but as subtle as possible unless it's a class specifically for hardcore shit.

The same is happening for me off the mat.

I'm setting my intention to be aware of where I resist. Resisting shifting the environment. Resisting just going for it.

Not to do something about it but to observe
