“I wish I could do yoga, but I’m not flexible”

This is the most common phrase I hear when I tell people I do yoga. Believe me, I know what it’s like to be stiff and not flexible. And after going almost 2 years without doing yoga, I am definitely feeling that again!

Sure, my hamstrings are tight, my quads are tight, my range of motion isn’t great yet, and a year ago I couldn’t even reach my arm over my head due to my torn rotator cuff. But all these things are the REASON I do yoga. I do yoga so that I can become more flexible and more loose and be more present with my body. And to find peace with where I’m at.

Some people are not able to walk, some people cannot climb stairs, some people are incapable of getting out of bed on their own. My body is able to do those things still, so I’m going to keep pushing. Keep pushing as long as I can.

And it’s not about big movements, big postures, or extreme flexibility. Today my class was Yoga warm-ups and sun salutations. That’s it. I did that for 40 minutes, and even though the movements were simple and small… I had gratitude still being able to do them. I noticed my tension slowly leaving as the class progressed. I was stiff in the beginning, but I started to loosen up as I went along.

I encourage you to do the same. If our bodies are able to move, then we should move them!! Have a gratitude for that movement; have a gratitude for your abilities; and if you keep at it… you will get better. All you have to do is show up and try. You’ve got this!

🎇🎉It’s a new year! 🎉🎆 And this year I had the urge to start a new beginning with my yoga practice!! Several years ago, on January 1st I decided to do yoga at least 2-3 times a week for the entire year. I stuck with it, and this absolutely transformed my practice. And for the past year and a half… I fell out of that routine, due to some injuries. I’ve been hesitant to push the boundaries and possibly re-injure myself, and out of fear I haven’t practiced. Well today that changes. I just completed a lovely little gentle practice. It just tested my range of motion and flexibility ever so gently. It was very pleasant to get my joints moving again, and this simple little session has inspired me to do this challenge again.

I realized during this practice that, even though we all go through different injuries, start aging, or have changes in our weight or general health, whenever we return back to our yoga practice, it’s like coming home. Even though it may be more challenging or not as easy as before… It’s still a place of comfort that always brings you back to yourself.

So I am dedicating at least one day a week to practicing yoga for the year. Hopefully that number will jump up to three or four times a week like last time, but this time I will not be sharing lots of photos of my postures… but instead I will share my thoughts along the way. My goal last time I did this challenge was to get stronger and healthier, which I did… but my goal this time is for longevity and overall wellness. Cleanses and things will be part of this journey again too, and I hope to journal more as well. Well now that I’ve shared my goals with the entire world, what are some of YOUR goals for this year?
