It’s nearly half way through Adriene’s 30 days of Yoga Camp found here and this time instead of doing it daily as I did with Revolution, it’s more fluid, more natural approach this time round. So some days I don’t have time, or I am too tired and that’s ok.

And while it has been a more gentle flow into it, I do find myself wanting to do it daily when life doesn’t stop me, ie we are away, and there isn’t room to do it. It’s somehow turned into my favourite time of the day, now often the last thing we do at night before bed, and I tell you my muscles feel so relaxed afterwards.

It hasn’t obviously cured my chronic pain, or fixed limitations, but it has fixed my mind more, and gives me focus. So I’m not trapped in a cycle of sitting there in pain and hyper focusing on it. And a little stretching and gentle movement can only keep arthritis at bay, but that’s good enough.

The mantras, and meditation that goes with these are restorative, empowering and mindful, something we all lose in the dash of life, it’s nice to step back, take a slower pace and enjoy the journey for once. I had always rushed my physio, or exercise wanting to get done, to move into the next thing. Now I’m like it’s done already?? So as today’s mantra is Go with the Flow, I’m going too, in all matters of my life.
