The past few days I’ve been going along my merry way, yoga-ing and feeling really good about my practice. Being consistent hasn’t been as difficult as I thought it would be, doing yoga feels great, and I can feel positive changes in my body already. Unfortunately, today I had my first challenging day — an ulcerative colitis flare-up. Crap.
I didn’t feel exhausted or sick like I sometimes can, I just didn’t feel right, and I wasn’t sure whether doing yoga would calm things down or shake things up. The thing is, I wanted to do yoga. I felt like I would miss it if I didn’t practice. I ended up doing a 25 minute Forward Bend practice from Rodney Yee, super relaxing, and I feel mentally better. Hopefully tomorrow things will settle down physically, too. I am happy, though, that yoga has become a part of my life even when UC gets in the way.
