I've been struggling to practice lately. Like really practice; just free flowing and releasing everything. I'd do a few minutes here and there but it was forced and without emotion. It's amazing how much you need to practice when you really don't want to. I couldn't face it and I didn't even feel like I could today so I put my songs on shuffle and just listened then it all just flowed. Messily and painfully but it helped a bit. My heart feels lighter but my physical pain is still there. I've been getting very frustrated with myself lately. I'll feel okay for a day or may two and then I have three or four horrific ones. It's so devastating because when I have a good moment I allow myself to hope that I've finally cracked it; that I've cured myself. But that's not true. The harsh reality is that I'm not going to get better just like that. I'm not sure if I will eventually recover either. The things that I though were helping have stopped. My internal bleeding is worse which leads to a whole lot of issues. I also have a decision to make and I don't know if I can. But I also don't think I could live like this forever because the "good" days aren't good enough to be worth all that. I don't know what to do but I think, for now, I'll collect my data and turn to yoga a bit more. 🙏🏻 #nasiesstory#nasieflows

✨Never let a stumble in the road be the end of the journey.✨ Just gonna let one of my all time favourite quotes sink in again. 🙏🏻 Hopefully all this pain and trial and error will be worth it in the end. 😁 Also hoping that Red and I can get back to our happy place soon; she really wanted to play in this video. Apparently two hours of swimming and fetching isn't enough to tire her out 😅 One day she will get tired for a second! 😝 #YogaWithRedDog @reds_cute_little_antics #headstand#sirsasana#nasieflows#nasiesstory (at Matapouri Bay)

Tomorrow is our last day! 😰 I've had so much fun with y'all; thank you for taking part and giving it a go. 🙏🏻 this is sped up so much! 😂 I flowed some of the poses we've done throughout the challenge for the warm up before tomorrow's pose. 😊 if you want an added challenge choose some of the poses and flow them together before doing savasana. It's so fun to create flows. ❤️ I also had to use Red's namesakes song because it's her birthday and we have to celebrate all that her name and her mean. Long story short I named her after Taylor Swifts song (Red and the album) because it gave me hope when I was in ICU (it was released around my birthday just before my big op so it represents everything. My life.). Love you Red! 😘 Tomorrow is Day 30 #SpringShineSouls and the pose is Corpse Pose | Savasana. 😊 time to relax! 🙏🏻 Host: @nasiebella Sponsors: @legsgetflexie @azuljewlz ❤️ Cautions; back injuries. Stretches; slowly releases all muscles. Benefits; calms, relieves stress, relaxes, headaches, fatigue, insomnia and helps lower blood pressure. often used to end a practice. Instructions; 1. Begin sitting on the floor with your knees bent in front of you and feet on the floor. Slowly lay down by lowering to forearms and then all the way down. Lift your hips off the ground and slowly lower back down allowing them to settle naturally. Inhale as you slowly lengthen your right leg and let it relax onto the floor. Do the same with your left leg. Relax your muscles. Your feet will turn out slightly. 2. With your arms by your side slowly push through them lifting your head slightly before lowering it back down and relaxing into a natural position. Close your eyes and keep breathing. If your neck is too sore put a pillow there. Make sure your shoulders are away from your head and relaxed. 3. Lift your arms toward the sky before slowly bringing them back too the floor allowing them to lie relaxed against the ground with your palms up and hands relaxed also. Hold for as long. As you can aiming for 5 minutes. Then slowly open your eyes and allow yourself to get your bearings before exiting slowly. #nasieflows#yogawithreddog#redscutelitlleantics#nasiesstory

Red! 😂 this is sped up a lil bit. 🙏🏻 Tomorrow is the second to last day! 😱😰 Day 29 of #SpringShineSouls 🌞 the pose is Child's Pose | Balasana. Host: @nasiebella Sponsors: @azuljewlz @legsgetflexie ❤️ Cautions; knee injuries -check or add a folded towel/pillow between your thighs and calves as well as added protection between knees and floor. Stretches; a gentle stretch for the hips, thighs, ankles, arms and spine. Benefits; calms, relieves stress, fatigue, counters backbends, helps back and neck pain and headaches. Instructions; 1. Start seated in a kneeling position with big toes together. Separate your knees to hip width. 2. Exhale and gently lower your torso so it lies between your thoughts. Stretch arms out in front of you shoulder distance apart and palms down. Press through palms, spread fingers and rest forehead in the ground. 3. Lengthen back and neck. Spread your shoulder blades. Hold for as long as needed after any pose (especially backbends and inversions to help stretch your back the other way and prevent dizziness) and at the end of your practice. Aim for 1-5 minutes. If your arms get tired you can draw the to your sides and stretch them out towards the back of you with your palms up. #nasieflows#yogawithdogs#yogawithreddog#nasiesprogress
