Dipping my toe in the water…in more ways than one.

Blog Post

Those who know me know I’m a huge fan of adventures and trying new things.   My adventures with Pina had to take a back seat for awhile with all this darn post surgery nonsense.

And though my recovery continues to be a slow road,  this weekend I decided to dip  my toe in the water with a bit of adventure. Literally and figuratively.  The chance to try Yoga on a Stand Up Paddle Board sounded exciting.  Pina wasn’t available for this last minute plan, but I decided to give it a go anyway.

Obviously the gal in the photo is NOT me, but taking the iPhone out with me to snap photos wouldn’t have been wise, andI wanted to provide a visual for those who aren’t familiar with SUP (stand up paddle boarding).

Here’s what I learned:

  • I still need to listen to my body.  Though I was able to complete the 90 minute class, I did not do some of the yoga poses full out like I wanted, or would have  months earlier.  And I realized, that’s okay.
  • Core strength is KEY to just about all movement
  • Nature is a wonderful and beautiful healer
  • Getting out of my comfort zone fills me with a feeling of pride and confidence
  • There’s still a lot of things I can’t tackle yet, but I can ease in – dip in a toe from time to time

It was really a glorious  day.

If you haven’t take the time to let nature restore you, you don’t need to get up on a paddle board.  Just get outside and ENJOY!

 

PS Thanks to Elements Yoga and Down Under Kayaking !
