Monday Reflection

I was leading a chair yoga practice at the hospital today and we started off with our regular mindfulness check in. I encouraged the patients to think of a goal or intention they hoped to see manifest in their life, whether in the short or long term. I thought about this question for myself and the answer was obvious: for my partner to find a job. (He is newly unemployed and suffering greatly about it). I was thinking about all that I wanted to have happen for us in the near and far future (settling down, buying a house, raising a family) and realized that I wasn't being fully present in my practice. My mind was on the future. I came back to the present moment and reflected on how I could continue to be present in this moment, as opposed to daydreaming about the future. I realized that this period of uncertainty and waiting is a time where I can truly cultivate and nourish the seeds that I will someday (soon, hopefully) be able to plant and watch grow. For now, I must be present in what I am cultivating and nourishing (thoughts, words, habits, etc.) so that when it is time to plant my seeds, they are truly positive and able to grow with love and passion and strength. When my mind becomes distracted and wanders away to a daydream, I will continue to come back to the present moment and focus my attention on what I have control over now in this moment.

That moment you finally do Warrior 2 Pose…in a chair

I used to do yoga a few years ago (Hatha, Ashtanga) before my health went 😱.

Today is the first day I did Warrior 2 pose, a pose I never thought I’d do again…but in a chair #Yoga #adaptivefitness #chairyoga

Recommendations for a yoga/stretching/gentle workout channel on Youtube?

I would like to explore starting a habit of gentle movement inside at home. I have a currently undiagnosed condition that is causing swelling and mild pain in my knees, so I do have some limitations physically. Mentally and emotionally I find intentional exercise very difficult because it makes me focus on my body which I prefer to dissociate from. I have been doing body-based and somatic therapy for nearly a year now, though, and some of the panic when I connect to my body is subsiding, so I think it is a good time to start a routine like this. I don't know where to start, though, and thought I would ask if anyone has a recommendation. Thank you in advance!
