Today was the first time I’ve stepped onto my mat in 12 days 😮💨
We’ve been fully in the swing of summer, busy days, family time, activities, little adventures, and somewhere along the way my own self-care got pushed to the bottom of the list (sound familiar?!)
And then last night, sitting down for dinner, I felt those familiar back spasms start to creep back in.
I can sometimes forget that I have scoliosis because it’s managed so well with yoga and massage therapy. When I’m consistent with both, my body feels strong, mobile and happy. But take a little break… and my body is very quick to remind me 😅
Even as a yoga instructor, I need that reminder sometimes.
I love yoga. I genuinely enjoy moving my body and stepping onto my mat. But it’s more than something I like to do - I need it. My body needs it. And that’s the part I had forgotten.
So today, getting back onto my mat felt SO good 🩷
A little reminder that self-care doesn’t have to be perfect or consistent every single day. But sometimes, our bodies tell us when it’s time to come back.
Thank you so much to everyone who joined me on the mat today. It felt really good to move with you 🥰
