Body image struggles

​Sometimes you just gotta get down on your mat! 
My head, my thoughts are in a funny place at the moment, I’m doing my best to stay with my Yoga but its so hard! 
I’m having a lot of body image problems, for instance I wanted to see how I am with my downward-facing dog (Adho Mukha Shvanasana) progress, so did a video, really pleased with the left side of this picture but extremely dislike the right! (Hate is a strong word but…) And its not because I can’t straighten my legs or flatten my feet. 
I know why I’ve started feeling like this again. That’s part of the battle when you don’t know why your thoughts have changed so much after doing so well.
A bump in my road, well, more than a bump, loosing part of our family has literally took me backwards on my ‘better mind journey’ 
I’ll trust this journey for as long as I’m on it because I have never felt so determined!

Feeling fragile

​Feeling fragile today but the show must go on! 

Ollie was never a girl to sit and mope even in the pain she had daily! 

Trusting the journey & currently taking baby steps along the way! 

I am creating the best version of myself

Get on a Power Plate to help ease your pain!

When your in too much pain and all you want to do is exercise what do you do?

Get on a power plate of course! This machine vibrates at different frequencies chosen by the user and different time settings as well! 

I use it to help tone my muscles, aid my balance but mainly to help with my chronic pain from my MS! 

Yes it helps, just enough for me to be able to do exercise classes! It’s like thousands of tiny hands massaging my muscles! Ah, bliss! 

Try it! You’ll never look back!
