Shouting out one of our members, Karen! (If you attend regularly you probably know her!)
The other night, we were the only two for practice. I asked her what she wanted to work on, and she told me getting upside down… and maybe wheel.
So we spent the 75 min dedicated to headstand. Karen went from nervous and a little scared, to confident, a little nervous again, to pretty much doing the damn thing by herself!! More to go but that’s a big jump in skill to take in about an hour of practice.
THEN we practiced different ways for her to access her wheel pose. She typically struggles with access… BUT 10 minutes of switching things up and we got mostly into wheel too!!
“I think I like wheel now!” Are the words that came out of her mouth.
It’s a good reminder that sometimes we sell ourselves short. We think something is unattainable for us, but then if we just have a guide or a new perspective, p**f! there it is! We are constantly growing and learning- our bodies growing and learning too.
*Just because you don’t see progress happening, doesn’t mean it’s not there!*
Way to go, Karen! A++ on switching perspective, pushing past emotional discomfort and preconceived expectations, & showing us what happens when you’re consistent in your practice. 💯👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
