Strong Underneath the Doubt

A lower body practice for the days you feel sluggish, heavy, disconnected, or unsure of your strength, because your body is still capable of holding you.

Some days your body feels like it is moving through mud.

Your legs feel heavy. Your energy feels low. Your clothes feel weird. Your confidence is somewhere on the floor next to the laundry pile.

And when you are in your 40s, or moving through perimenopause, menopause, hormonal changes, life stress, grief, exhaustion, or just being a human woman with a body that keeps changing, it can be really easy to start telling yourself a story.

I am not strong anymore.

I am getting weaker.

I do not feel like myself.

I do not like how I look.

I do not know what happened to my body.

This week’s practice is not here to punish any of that out of you.

It is not a “fix your legs” practice.

It is not a “get your old body back” practice.

It is a wake up the legs practice for the days when your lower body needs some attention, some circulation, some strength, and some proof that you are still in there.

Because even when you feel sluggish, there is strength underneath.

Even when you feel heavy, your body is still holding you.

Even when doubt gets loud, your legs are still capable of carrying you through.

This practice is here to help you reconnect with that strength.

Slowly.

Kindly.

Without bullying yourself into it.
