This client is progressing! This feels like a win after the long pain with her foot, but she is moving stronger and can handle more poses and is eager to add more as she is connected to her body and practice.
She is getting on and off the floor a bit easier, she laughs at herself but in a positive way.

When she was checking in we realized that she has been getting weekly massages for years and hasn't in a month because of her therapist being away. She uses massage as part of her wellness and it works wonders for her. She shared that she is feeling just as good because of the yoga and moving and breathing.

Keep adding and building her practice
