Why am I practacing yoga?

​I need to keep reminding myself of this every time I practice! 

Today, for the first time, I actually felt like walking out of the group class before it finished! 

Just feel a bit like, whats the point, I can’t step back to plank from sun salute, I can’t take a giant step from down dog to front of mat! I can’t can’t even stand up into warrior! 6 months & I can’t do those things! 😠😡😵 
Hang on a minute Victoria! What about all the things you CAN do now that you couldn’t do 6 months ago!??? 

Yeah, just think about that then hey! 🤔

Reverse warrior

​REVERSE WARRIOR POSE

‘VIPARITA VIRABHADRASANA’
BENEFITS
Reverse Warrior Pose is a variation of Warrior II pose with many benefits: 

• Strengthens the quads, arms and neck

• Stretches the groins, hips and obliques

• Opens the chest and shoulders

• Increases self esteem and perseverance
“Opening the heart has physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual benefits. Rounded shoulders and a hunched spine are typically associated as the posture of someone who is less confident, timid, fearful or possibly depressed”
Beautiful personal yoga practise this morning with it finishing with a wonderful feeling of euphoria!
I love it when things come together! 

Think my mantra of ‘being patient’ is paying off!

Namasté baby!

​Productive day! 2 loads of washing done and dried, fell asleep this afternoon and then dinner cooked ready to be re-heated and eaten after Yoga! 
Not beating myself up about the unplanned sleep, getting better at allowing myself the  rest when I need it! 
Seriously looking forward to Yoga tonight with @louiseavilesyoga 

Learning more lessons about myself

​Each of my Yoga practises seems to bring me a new lesson! 

Contrary to belief, Yoga isn’t all about looking amazing in poses or how long you can hold a headstand for. Nope, its what you learn about yourself whilst doing it and believe me, I’m learning a heck of a lot! 

It really is magic! 

Remember… 🐴➡💫yoga💫➡🦄 But also, not every practise makes you feel amazing, some can be very draining, like today! 

Trust the journey! Its not all black & white! Believe in yourself! 

Namasté @louiseavilesyoga 🙏

Make peace with Yoga

​Yoga in the sunshine, don’t mind if I do!

My last yoga practice on Saturday was not a good one, unfortunately I was in too much pain & I just couldn’t concentrate on anything else! Tbh, I could have quite happily gathered my belongings and walked out of the class! I didn’t though & for that I’m incredibly proud of myself! 

Hoping to make peace with yoga tonight!
