This is me after yoga class with some of my yoga pals. I am the one doing the standing back bend (black sports bra and shorts and glow-in-the-dark-pale skin!). When I first started practicing (about 18 months ago) I could not do more than drop my head back and "lean" a little-- definitely NOT how it looks now!! :)

    Ty! I have been working at it! :)

    TY! I really wish I had been courageous enough to take pics of what my poses looked like when I started. I know I have made a TON of progress in 18 months.... sometimes I get discouraged day in/day out because it is harder to see the difference.

    Holy cow, that is impressive. Clearly you are not only looking great but feeling great too! You should be really proud, I would be (or will be?) if I could accomplish that.

    That is amazing! AND, I want to be in the mental space where I feel comfortable to rock a sports bra and shorts. Not there yet. That in itself would be a huge NSV for me. Good job, Thaeda!!

    Well, I have to tell you it was a MAJOR hurdle for me to get the confidence to wear a sports bra and shorts in the hot room. I was literally shaking the first time I did it-- but you know what? I walked into the room and no one even blinked (let alone snickered or even pointed and laughed like I had catastrophized in my head). I just kept showing up, wearing the same outfit til I could do it without fear. Took awhile, lemme tell ya!!
