approaching yoga as a self care necessity instead of how society views ”exercise“ as an obligation or way to achieve body image standards has changed my life. Not in drastic ways, but in a meaningful way that I think has spilled over into other spaces like journaling, drawing and being more aware of how I spend my time. I do it at home so it’s free. Taking 75-90 minutes on a weekend just for myself, with no texts to answer or things to do always feels so good. But even a 10 minute stretch session makes me more way aware of my body, releases tension in my neck, back, shoulders, hips, and gives me space to take care of myself. Moving the body how it wants to move
