It was my first time back on the mat today
And it felt SO good 🥰
It's been 11 weeks since I did any type of asana and it's honestly taken me this long to feel ok enough to move my body in that way.
When I think back over the last 11 weeks I haven't stopped to really connect with myself. I've done a tiny bit of breathwork, a few stretches here and there and a couple of yoga nidra recordings but I haven't been able to be truly present in my practice in that way.
I felt emotional throughout the whole class today. As I exhaled I brought my hands down to my heart and the tingly nose, achey throat sensation just came. I heard Dionne say 'now come back into your body' and it brought tears to my eyes 🥹 a moment of connection just for me 🙏❤️
I have always said that asana is just a small part of yoga, which it is but this time away from movement practice has really highlighted how much I missed it and how special asana can be. It really can help to bring you back into your body, to allow you to be fully present with the moment, with the sensations, and with yourself 💫
Feeling so grateful, thank you 🙏
A beautiful class to empower women and helping to raise funds for The Rise of She Period Dignity Fund 🙌❤️
