✨ My pain disappeared after a restorative practice ✨
I received an invitation from a friend of mine—who is also a yoga therapist—to join a restorative yoga series: 20 minutes a day for 10 days (5 days at the end of 2025 and 5 days at the beginning of the new year).
On the second day, I noticed pain in my left arm in the evening. I’m not sure how it started—it felt very much like a pulled muscle. Maybe from lifting something heavy out of the fridge or scrubbing pots and pans with too much force.
I had my second day 20 minute practice. The photos show how i set up the props. What was meant to be a 20-minute practice turned into a nearly two-hour nap 😴 (with a few distractions along the way). When I finally came out of the pose, I realized something amazing—the pain in my arm was gone. It hasn’t come back either. This winter break, I’m really realizing how important rest is.
May you all have deep, nourishing rest as you close out 2025, and may you begin the year ahead with even more rest and ease.
