Written by Finlay Wilson, March 15th, 2016

Get started. Have the grace to screw up and fall over a lot. You will do great!

| Health update |
It’s feeling good again. My cough has almost gone, meaning I am back practicing and doing the experiments with my spine. I’ve been changing the movement patterns, weight training more, controlling my movements, and getting super sharp on my focus when I am practicing.
My spine is feeling good.
Gently gently though...
.
I realise this doesn’t look gently gently, but I am super comfy in that beast.

In Forrest Yoga, I’ve always enjoyed how we transition into the poses and the many ways that the pose can be felt before we attempt the pose. These are some of the ways I work when teaching the pose.

| Love Wins |
Today, Marriage Equality passes in Northern Ireland.
Growing up, I never would have dreamed of marrying someone of my own sex. It simply wasn’t in my world view. In my teens people could then have civil partnerships but I still found myself prejudiced against them.
Now, young people will grow up knowing that love is love. What a balm that would have been. I wish I could go back in time and say “this is something you will have.*”
.
* Maybe I would also go back and warn about the first husband. 🙄

As most of you know, my lower back has some serious problems. It has meant my practice has changed a lot in the last year. Passive ranges are no longer my friend and I find more and more that strength and control are helping to stabilise my spine and keep me out of pain.
So, in perpetration for this inversion, I am working really actively on anterior tilt in the forward bends and engaging my core into the side bends. It all helps get things moving a wee bit more.

| Monday |
This is the life I choose.
I’ve more energy than I’ve ever had. My body feels stronger all over. My moods are more stable than ever and with a resilience that keeps me engaged.
I’ve a home, a man who will be my husband, and two pups that are just the sweetest.
Today, I choose to uptake all of this sweetness, feel gratitude for all that I have, and all that I have fought for.

| Guide |
At this time of the year, I get to lead more in depth and introverted sessions that involve a little bit of a dive into theogony, philosophy, and the symbology of the practice.
Thanks to those of you who came to the space tonight to breathe deeply and move aside obstacles that may be holding you back.
