💫 February 2020 💫 Some of the greatest photos I've taken have come from the worst of times. This was one of them. I don't talk about my health much, but it's a huge part of me. Everything hit and the world collapsed that year and coincidentally, so did I. The pain was unbearable and doctors quickly proved themselves useless to me. By the time February had hit, I finally found sturdy solace in one thing. Yoga. I've always struggled with my relationship with exercise. It all felt so out of reach and the idea of results were nothing but a hoax to me. Until I tried yoga out. I was already stretching daily for 6 months beforehand, so it was an easy habit to get into. Sitting on a computer full time, you'll have to start stretching your hips eventually. Stretching was one thing, but yoga is another. I couldn't believe how it made me feel. I was light on my feet, quick, and without getting lightheaded. My mood flipped. I looked like a completely different person in the first few weeks too. It's changed my entire perspective on life. I'm coming up on my 4 year anniversary now, and I still am shocked at how far I've come. More than anything though, I'm incredibly proud of myself.
