Try not to forget how beautiful nature is, being outside in sunshine between autumnal rain, feeling connected with our world lifts the spirits.

25 years of practising yoga has amazing benefits. The suppleness and strength it has given my body, able to try anything, move how I want and succeed at most given time and practice. But what happens when the body changes through age or injury and is no longer functioning as one is used to. That's when the benefits for the mind shine through. It's becomes easier to keep a steady feeling of positivity, a reassurance and knowledge that everything is temporary and what has changed will changed once again.
Maintaining the love for your body continues, the forgiveness for not being able to function as you use to, the self compassion needed for healing over time. When one keeps the mind in check and steady nothing but the physical has changed, happiness and joy continue to shine ✨️

Healing is definitely not à straight line. There are bumps and setbacks. Biggest lesson so far is patience, compassion and gentleness for the body. These last fews days have been spent resting often in bed reading "light on pranyama" by Iyengar. I may not get able to use my body well but I can breathe and learn more about this essential part of ourselves. I spent 1 hr closng my eyes, gently trying to push blood and good energy into my discomfort. I don't know if it worked, but tonight I feel better so perhaps it did 💜

3 weeks after back surgery I feel ready to refind that trust in myself. Everything takes more effort, more focus, more balance, more gentleness
Healing has not been a straight line forward as I expected !! It's not even the back but the shock to the entire body. I remind myself, its all temporary, be kind to yourself, take it as a learning opportunity !! Quiet determination sees me through, and a real need to not leave that last post as my last post for long 🙏🫶🩷

I've debated to myself whether to share this ! Here I am lying flat on my back after a car accident, still smiling, but unable to walk.Its a week since I had spinal surgery and today I walked 3km, twice as far as yesterday in the same time. I can only describe my progress from surgery to today as amazing. I can only put my progress down to 25 years of yoga. As my yoga guru, 😊 Simon Borg-Olivier said Yoga is an investment in your future. This resonated for me today. ❤️
