Day 4 - Trust the process

Woke up this morning with a bit of back tension, luckily I work late today so I can make a little “me time” to resolve some of it.

On the floor – noticing tension increasing, felt pad under – not quite right, quarter blanket under – much better… hmmm tight front line. Block/strap, knee drops, ankle to knee exercises. Tennis ball to my outer hips and some more ankle to knee – ooh more range came of that! Cat/cow, down dog (modified)- ooh my shoulders are tight. Spinal strip + pull overs, and then a little restorative on my side.  Legs up the wall with block strap + felt pad. Cat/cow, down dog – oh that feels more open! Wall sit to finish off. I feel taller and lighter!

Throughout the day, back tension comes back into play… so where are my default patterns kicking in again? Restorative practice after work, quite nice. It is interesting, since I have been more aware of my body my pain has shown itself more… Double edged sword of awareness, however I’m happy to be taking this road because it is more sustainable in the end. Trust the process.
restorative set up!
