✨I recall a month into my healing and dreaming about my yoga practice and having the realization, that The physical practice might be the hardest part of my healing. Not going to lie, for the first 2 months my lazy side loved having an excuse to stay in bed and read and binge watch Gaia TV + Stranger Things (thanks for the insane dreams)🧟♂️✨ . ✨This last week of coming back to my mat has been equally beautiful + hard. I recognize that I’m making grand progress considering my condition but I’ve had to accept that my body has taken on a new form. A body that went thru many disciplined years of training to reach new heights, and suddenly a deep disconnection to all the physical progress just after one accident. I could wallow in bed and cry about the pain (trust me, i have) but this morning when I woke up, i used the pain as inspiration. Simply bc i don’t want to feel this way anymore. Instead of bathing in the pain, Ive decided to explore it, it isn’t always pretty but to neglect the shadow will only haunt you in the end. I’ve been more inclined to show up to regain familiarity with my body. And damn, I’m glad I did. I still feel far far from bendy free flowing fluid Kat (this video is sped up), but I can feel my toes + my heart cracking open a bit more, shining into more space of hope that greater shifts will occur. So stay committed to what you’re working towards. I believe it’s human nature to see-saw between these states of optimistic highs and defeating painful lows, but when you find the breath and let it move you, suddenly you’re reunited with the ebb + flow. 💖💫 . @yoga_now_berlin #yoganowberlin #berlinyoga #pathofhealing #yogasavedmylife #yogini #recovery #yogapractice (at Yoga NOW Berlin) https://www.instagram.com/p/B2UGHTLAWH0/?igshid=1ifxts8dfhovt
