Finding peace on the yoga mat...
 |
I’ve been on the yoga mat the past 10 out of 14 days. My inflammation and chronic joint pain is finally (knees especially) at the point where I can be optimistic about recovery. This could be partially due to cutting refined sugar and starting Keto a week ago, which I plan on giving an enormous update on soon!! On a similar note, I finally had an MRI of my left knee done. I'm not expecting much more than a strain, but it will be relieving to hear that the pain is nothing serious.

Since I’ve been motivated and I’m enjoying the practice of yoga so much, I decided to participate in @adrienelouise ‘s 31 Day Yoga Challenge - REVOLUTION.

I’ve always been interested in yoga. To me, yoga is not only an act of meditation (which is a tremendous reason for me to be practicing) - I am humbly learning fundamental human characteristics such as how to be patient, how to love and treat myself with kindness, and how to act with a sense of mindfulness. I am learning to warmly acknowledge and lovingly accept the inner chatter that was once seen as destructive and malevolent. With the insurmountable stress of which I am currently engulfed, I feel truly blessed to have the opportunity to set aside time every day to deliberately slow down and focus on my breathing, poses, and mindfulness. I can’t explain how powerful these past couple weeks have been for me in terms of growth.

I started a new YouTube channel and posted a quick yoga flow that I think you guys would like!!! I recorded mainly to look at my form and flexibility, however I got in the groove and started flowing

Everybody take a peep at @adrienelouiseand (check out her YouTube too) and give her a follow!! Adriene is a phenomenal teacher and has certainly helped me cope with some dark emotions these past few weeks. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

With love,
