Been way too long, but back in the studio this morning!

Old knees. Old injury knees. Gotta ice after leg focused workouts 🥶

I'm starting to see the size of my cute lil mum pooch decreasing, and glutes are more toned. Noticed my short yesterday had so much space between the bottom and my thighs, where before they sat right on my thigh. I've recently switched back to size 14 in shorts because the 12s kept rolling into my crotch. These are 12s today and are still rolling, but a lot less.

My body was struggling today. I often struggle with pain in my lower back or neck when doing workouts, no matter how perfect my form is to what we are being shown and told. Some days are worse than others, depending on how my body is. Today was bad for it. But then something triggered and I pulled her aside after class and explained to her that I do come from an abusive background and got a lot of injuries as a kid, that were never properly treated, and just aren't things I consider to tell instructors. Then I explained about hurting my neck at 16 and my hips separating at 15, and she was like 💡 that makes a lot of sense why you do things the way you do! And changed arm positions and a proper neck cradle and adjustments to exercises that took all the pain and pressure away. Says she suspects it'll take me a lot of work and a long time, but that I should get strong enough to do them normally

Was able to do a spotted and supported wheel 😊 i tried to do it in the second class too and couldn't alone so asked for support again. We tried and she said my muscles were too tired from the earlier one, so back to bridges instead.

Same yogas as last week. Hot power flow and then vinyasa. My neck is really tight from sitting badly to game, so I'm really looking forward to stretching.

Back at it this morning with some power flow and then vinyasa.
