I feel like a MCU superhero in these clothes. I must admit my feelings have evolved and changed over the past few years. I want to continue to evolve my perspective. Growth continues On my wellness journey I needed to take some time for full reflection about how I wanted to take care of my body. Recently I joined my local gym. I wanted to expand my fitness. In the late 80s all through the 90s- and early 2000’s I was a fitness instructor. The culture was extremely toxic them. I really got caught up in it to the point of making myself sick. Once I made my journey into self-care and self-love I had to let go of that part of my life. Having my babies and returning to yoga full time was a big part of making peace with my body. Acquiring Graves’ disease gave me a moment to pause and reevaluate my relationship with my body and that meant I had to make some lifestyle changes if I wanted to heal. A lot of you have been with me on this journey. I appreciate your support. I’ve learned a few things along the way. I can return to my fitness routes without it being detrimental to my well-being. Being social, focussing on creating better balance and wellness, and sharing the yoga practice has been instrumental in my healing. It has allowed me to look at the world through an entirely new lens. I am more focussed than ever an equity, equality, and yoga for everyone. I’m also really looking at relationships I’ve had in the past that deserve a second look. I return to my fitness roots with a new outlook. I’m at the gym because it makes me feel good and I like the energy in the space. I’m not there to change the aesthetic of my body other than to become stronger in my body and therefore stronger in my resolve. Another relationship that is evolving is by relationship with @lululemon. I have seen a shift in this organization. They have been supporting people I deeply respect and work that is very important to me. Organizations like @amplifyandactivate @skillinaction @accessibleyoga and #heretobe partnerships. I’ve been invited at the local level to be a part of their sweat collective advisory board. This is a seat the table. I am pulling up a chair. https://www.instagram.com/p/B7lg7cOAtCh/?igshid=15e77q6xji491
