Couldn’t get to my weights class tonight & is looking as though that will be a rare occurrence due to my back problems.
So instead, there was Yoga!… Just what I needed! Don’t know where I got the energy from but I had the will! Only managed 30mins and that’s ok! The fact that I did & I feel good now is what its about!
Yoga is the answer to everything!

I really do miss my weights classes with the amazing @keza_h 😞

Alarm set for my self practice yoga in the morning, haven’t done any thing for a while. Just haven’t had the mojo for it, listening to my body, and she’s telling me she’s ready for the mat tomorrow. That’s if she wakes up in time! Maybe, maybe not, either way is good!!
😍🦄✨

I love this journey!
I’m learning so much about myself every practice & its amazing!
I’m not saying its been easy, it really hasn’t, but what would I be learning if it was!
HAPPY ONE YEAR YOGA PRACTICE TO ME!
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! 🙏💚
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! 👏
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!
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
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!
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
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!
Living life the MegaSpecial way!
