Helena Spears Yoga

This is my latest affirmation, which I have found very helpful. I have found that coming to my yoga practice from a place of self compassion, rather than another item on my to do list, makes it much easier

Have a bunch of cleaning or tasks that are getting in the way of your yoga practice? Just bump that yoga practice to the top of your list, get on your mat and breath. This is real life yoga!

Today's #breakthepaincycle activity is journaling. Bottling up emotions doesn't help my nervous system, so I write them out. Today's entry pretty much looks like this: "fffff%@%@%cccckkkkk pelvic pain!!!" And repeat. Been a tough week. What's your #breakthepaincycle activity going to be?

I identify with this so much! I am going to rededicate myself to my journaling practice, as it helps me to manage my emotions and thoughts. The mental state has a direct correlation with my nervous system, and thus how my body feels. Journaling isn't my favorite thing, it's HARD work.

Today's #breakthepaincycle activity is yoga nidra. This is what I do when I'm tired of self care, or too sore to move. My favorite place to find yoga nidra tracks is on sound cloud. You can practice this in bed and contrary to popular belief it's ok to fall asleep while you're doing it. Also one of the goals of yoga nidra it to help transform harmful inner dialogue. This is what sankalpa is meant to be. ...

Today's #breakthepaincycle activity is to head out in the sun for a beauty walk in the beautiful #comoxvalley I was just absorbing all the wonderful sunshine and happy people out walking. Felt great to get out of the house. Some great imagery for doing guided meditation. #breakthepaincycle #helenaspearsyoga #comoxvalley #comoxvalleyyoga #paincareyoga #disruptthepaincycle #yoga #itsallyoga

Today's #disruptthepaincycle pose This helps me to stretch out my back and create space for my pelvic floor to relax. I can hold this for quite some time. One of my favorite poses. Also please note my paperwork strewn ALL over. You don't need a perfect environment to practice yoga. ... #paincareyoga #disruptthepaincycle #spoonieyoga #helenaspearsyoga #comoxvalley #comoxvalleyyoga #yogaforall
