Finding my body again
Today during my practice I was lying on my back doing eye of the needle pose. My hip started telling me that it was needing lots of attention. It’s like coming home again to these poses that I haven’t been able to do for 9 months. After having Sol, I am finding myself achy and sore in all sorts of spots, my arms are weak, my stomach muscles are stretched out. I started feeling all these emotions this morning along with a sense of frustration and confusion and began to accept them all one by one and then let them go. I am not at the place in my practice that I left off at. I am where I am. That’s okay. My body has been through a lot and I am just starting to feel that acceptance and patience in my practice.
After being pregnant I am re-discovering my body in a whole new sense. I felt connected to my body while I was pregnant in a totally different—almost sacred way. While pregnant, I sent so much energy to the little spirit inside me, practiced on connecting with this creature, and focused on nurturing myself. Now it’s just me in my body. My hip was nudging me this morning and letting me know that I have work to do and I replied back that I am looking forward to it one vinyasa at a time.
