A year or two ago I would have been so reluctant to post any photos of myself in a bathing suit.
Because I would have been so self conscious about how I looked or would have been so stubborn about how it doesn’t align with yoga teaching.
But the truth is, I have grown to get truly comfortable in my own skin and realized that I have wayyyyy more to offer than just yoga.
I think as I age I start to appreciate my body for how much it goes through. Just taking me through movement and the simplest acts that I’m unconscious of is not something to be taken for granted.
When I was younger I’d always try to change my body or push through things when it didn’t feel right. But I’ve come to learn that our bodies go through cycles and life circumstances affect it.
Now I’ve learned to love it when it feels good, but more importantly to be compassionate with myself when it doesn’t, and to take it as a reminder for take extra care of myself in those times.
And this is living! Change is constant and our bodies may not feel the same everyday - and that’s OKAY.
So when it allows me to, yeah I’ll challenge it more. But when it’s telling me to slow down, I will also give it rest.
A little rant from someone down with the flu this week and have just been doing the bare minimum physically 😝
Also I can’t wait for beach weather in Hong Kong. So not Canadian in this aspect because I definitely prefer it to be really hot, even too hot, than for it to be cold 😝
