Rehabbing my back has been one of the hardest journeys I have ever faced. Over 2 years of pain, nerve sensation and limitation to do many things . I never thought that a physical injury could cause so much mental anguish.
🍖Understanding the dysfunction in my body and Instability derailed my dreams of teaching yoga full time. This is something i have kept close to my heart as I pushed to teach and continued to force my love for it even though I knew it would probably hurt me. Over the past 2 years I slowly turned down the yoga dial and had to move yoga back to my own personal practice and focus more on strength training.
🍖The last couple months I reached a point of strength that finally felt like the pain and nerve issues were behind me. I thought maybe I can teach again, but just as those thoughts and plans began to creep in .. so did a relapse. It’s been a hard couple
weeks as I have aggravated nerves and had to take a harder look at physio, movement and rest.
🍖Time and time again my body affirms yoga is not the path. This is a hard reality for me to accept, but I have to choose to let that part of my journey be a part of the creation of char. My journey and purpose is still unfolding and I have taken the last little while to slow and let creation embody me. I’m still unraveling it all but most of all through injury, change and expansion I am choosing to surrender to what is unfolding and what my true purpose and higher calling is.
🍖It’s not doubt that the journey of injury has challenged more than I thought possible. But also know that everything happens for a reason, and I am very grateful because things could be much worse. A quote I have always lived by is …”If it doesn’t challenge you, it’s doesn’t change you” know that what ever your struggle is right now that it is teaching you lessons 💖
