How are you honoring your body today? #qotd #self

How are you honoring your body today?

#qotd #selfcaredaily #fallinlove #memyselfandI #timetorest #timetomove

A week ago 💙🌊🧎‍♂️

What was good
💙 Fresh air
💙 Nature
💙 Great teacher
💙 Great company @charlottebeatrice
💙 Sun

What you don't see from the picture
🥶 Very cold -> 10 degrees celcius
💨 Wind
🧎‍♂️ Uneven ground

Eventhough the surroundings look great, my nervous system was super overwhelmed by all the unbalanced input. It would definitely take more practice to get used to these influences. And I would def need it to be warmer. Or if I would practice by myself, I would be able to adjust to whatever grounding my nervous being needs 🙏

Not every yoga practice is perfect, but every practice gives insights. And that's all we got to work with.

Take it easy on yourself. (Telling myself that too💙)

My Back Story I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 1

My Back Story

I was diagnosed with scoliosis at 14. My dance teacher noticed I wasn't even when bending over and told me to get that checked.

Even though it was discovered at 14, they didn't start any treatment until 15 and I got my brace when I was 16. I was in high school and dance academy at the time.

Because of my scoliosis I was told, I couldn't make dancing my career. So I went to University instead and got a Masters in Discourse and Argumentation Studies. I never stopped dancing and added more styles to my repertoire. And fell in love with salsa dancing.

During my working life, I all of the sudden had to put all my energy towards a job. I could not dance as much and after 2 years my body did not agree with me anymore. I had neglected it.

For 3 years I experienced chronic pain on different levels. Stabbing next to my spine, burning ribs, bone on bone pain and a lot of nerves being overstimulated. To name a few.

What got me most, was my lack of understanding of my body. So here started my awareness journey through yoga. After 2 years, I learned that regular yoga was not enough for me and I wanted to really do my scoliosis justice. Thus, I started looking out for Yoga for Scoliosis workshops in Europe and even traveled to New York to study with various teachers. And in the end got certified as 'Elise Browning Miller Yoga for Scoliosis Trainer'.

During this time @charlottebeatrice and I founded @ilovemyback.nl 💛

In my journey I also looked at my stress levels and how those affected me. And basically every other lifestyle choice I was making. Yes, in the origins of yoga this is all important, but it also serves to look at the times we live in now, and how that influences (human) being.

Therefore, I am also a @nutritionschool Health Coach grad and am now taking on a HSP coaching course.

I have always identified myself as an HSP. But it makes sense that all of us with scoliosis are easier overstimulated, because our proprioception and vestibular system are working hard. Since these sense where we are in space and constantly inform our brain about it. Must be exhausting with all these twists and turns.

Hey, but that's what keeps life interesting.
