So much more solid in my handstand now! Playing with movements is my new favorite pastime

Nothing has been more humbling than my injury.
.
.
It took almost a year for my ankle to “heal” admittedly most of that was my fault. I hiked Runyon Canyon, walked from Santa Monica to Venice and moved into an apartment on the third floor with a broken elevator, when I was supposed to be resting it. I chose my ego over my healing, I didn’t want anyone to think I was making excuses because I’m fat (a complex I have, because of how often assume large people are lazy and make excuses to get out of activities), so I pushed through instead of taking care of myself.
.
.
Failing to listen to my body made my road to recovery tough, I have soft tissue swelling that still flares up from time to time, natural anti inflammatory medicine and Physical therapy have helped and although on paper I’m healed, that’s far from the truth I still have more pain that ide prefer but I’m getting stronger each day.
.
.
I spent the past 8 months or so sulking, calling it my “bad ankle” saying “ I can’t balance on this side” and I couldn’t, not with that attitude!
.
.
@patsy_blooms said during my first training injuries can be your greatest teacher. My injury was, it taught me how to modify in ways that I would have never considered otherwise, now I can offer those options to others. It also taught me to focus on areas I could grow in instead of how my ankle was holding me back.
.
.
I also changed the way a talked about my body I stopped saying can’t and bad, instead ide say.
.
.
I will wear my brace if I’m in pain.
.
I will stay calm if I wobble.
.
I can lift my leg just an inch
.
I will focus.
.
I will be patient
.
I will keep trying .
Is my heel stretch perfect? No fucking way BUT I’m balancing on the ankle that “can’t” and I can grow more from here. I’m sure there are many morals to this story, take what you need, leave the rest #myfabletics #kickbuttlookcute #ad

1. Square your shoulders and clasp your hands
2. Bring your head to the back of your hand. The base of your head should be on the top (so watch your braids and high buns because you need to have a steady base of support)
3. Walk your feet all the way in as high as you can get them.
4. Lift one leg into your core at a time. Eventually both will lift and go up. I show a few options but use those lower core muscles to draw the legs in and up.
5. Most of the weight should be on your arms.

We did a little sunset yoga together this evening. I really think that my girls are going to love yoga just as much as I do

I was reminded today while having lunch with some amazing black women who are all in STEM graduate programs that
1. I need to be my own biggest fan/advocate
2. I shouldn’t rely on validation to come from those around me because everyone has their own agenda to some extent
3. I need to think/talk about my accomplishments as much as I do my failures
4. It’s more productive to take time to worship yourself with self-care than push through just to survive from one thing to the next
Things to work on in the coming months... sound ON for some heavy breathing and a cameo from @morsavasana
