All the Yoga highs!

​So this happened during my 1-1 yoga today!

Today’s session was all about love, self love and appreciation in fact! 

This is what happens when you have such a wonderful Yoga teacher who you feel so connected to! Thanks to her as well for putting me in contact with Melissa Wells!
I feel so honoured that the universe heard me on one of those many days, when I was so low, from the beging of my MS diagnosis 7 years ago and Fibromyalgia 6 years ago to when I was given Louise’s name in March 2016!
I was so desperate to stop hating myself for gaining weight because of my mobility issues, not because of anything I could have prevented. 

I needed a change. Something had to give, so I put it out there, I had always felt the calling for Yoga, knowing how open I am to spiritual insight, I knew I was on the right path.
I think it could have only been my third 1-1 with Lou when I started to open up to her about what I had only at the time, recently discovered about myself, I had an eating disorder. 

She instantly told me about Mel & The Goddess Revolution, which upon hearing about it, I instantly pre-ordered the book! 

And I’ve never looked back since! 
This picture makes me so happy!

What you cant see is my beaming yoga high smile during, after and every time I look at it!

What no one saw and very rarely sees (that’s called being an MS warrior, there’s a lot of us! 👏) was the major energy crash afterwards and the muscle soreness!

You know what though, it was totally worth it! The whole session was!
Please always remember, anything is possible! 🙏💚

Obsess about all the things we love about outselve GB.

​Absolutely love this! 

“Wouldn’t it be lovely if we obsessed about all the things we love about ourselves!” 

@tara_elle83 just brilliant & thanks to @chloebrotheridge for also sharing! 👏

Another UTI!

I’m not one to enjoy sitting around doing nothing! 

When you have MS and an infection, doing nothing really is the best we can do! 

What I really want to do though is go to my Yoga class as I normally do with Louise my Yoga teacher! 

A Sunday well spent beings a week of content!

​Re post the meme from @oilohanamalas words are my own…

Breathe!

1-1 Yoga! 

Today I will try to remember that where ever I get to in my practice is ok!

I will remember that not only have I completely stopped one of my MS nerve pain meds but I have also halved the main one as well!

Today I will remember not to be hard on myself because this is going to hurt & there’s a reason for it! 
I have to overcome the pain and not let it overcome me! I am in charge of own thoughts! 

It is with my mind and the breath alone that will get me through this! 


As with all my blogs please feel free to share using the options at the end of this blog.

Any comments are also always welcome! 

Thanks, Vix

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 🙏
