I need to get back on my #fitnessjourney for the sake of my own well-being and there’s really no excuse not to. I did this one today and it felt so nice! My favorite yoga himbo unleashed some wisdom bangers in it like “your ego is not your amigo” and “perfectionism is nothing but a prerequisite for pain and suffering” 👩🦲
They make me feel like a brand new person whenever I do them, usually in the morning ☀️

It is so nice to take a chill moment for yourself, and it’s really hard to. I’ve never been to a studio (yet) cause I‘m broke and anxious. I like it because it doesn’t feel like a competition, not even against yourself. It’s just moving into a position and trying to chill. It’s fine if you can’t reach your arms or whatever that far, whatever feels good, whatever your body likes. Even if it’s just 10 minutes, it really makes all the difference to check in with how your body parts are feeling, including your brain.
I am procrastinating my yoga right now.
I like Yoga with Kassandra and Yoga with Bird on youtube. I hope at least one person gets into yoga this way with me!
if you told me six years ago that I would be a devoted follower of a bay area yoga couple I would have probably believed you, but would've rolled my eyes. But after regular practice, taking stock of where I started and where I am now, yoga has changed my life. I do like the occasional class, but doing it at home is so much cheaper and you can build a foundation to know a little more about what you're doing. They have classes for all levels and a paid Patreon channel if you want longer ones (75, 90, 120 minutes🔥) I'm normally not into the woowoo stuff, but something about Flo's assurances that you don't need to worry about how a pose *looks* only how it *feels* makes all the difference. Focusing on your breath and his vocal cues help tune you into parts of your body you forget about. And that awareness reaches far to so many other areas of your life. If you're at all curious about yoga, don't roll your eyes or by a cynic like 2018 me. Get into it.
My dad teases me about how when I was a little kid, my favorite thing to do when I was on the landline phone with somebody—be it a relative or one of my best friends—was to breathlessly describe the things that were in my bedroom so that they could have a mental picture of everything I loved and chose to surround myself with, and where I sat at that moment in time. Perfectly Imperfect reminds me of that so thanks for always listening and for sharing with me too 💌
