This morning's yoga session felt different. With a spring in my step, I carried confidence as uplifted as the lift that comes with pricey high-quality wired bras. Usually, I save myself a spot at the back of the class, but not today. Today I sat boldly in the middle of the class – right under the nose of our unbelievably stunning yoga instructor, Rachel.
Sanobar I was in that yoga room and that yoga pose with you!! Reclaiming your body one pose and one piece at a time. 💘 "As we transition into a warrior pose - my squishy breasts press against my knee, trying to make room for themselves over my protruding, pregnancy-like belly. Instead of drowning in embarrassment, I’m reminded of the times I’ve nursed my babies – 10 months, sadly, for my firstborn, overcompensating it with my secondborn for slightly over two years. My droopy breasts feel like soft marshmallows now."
ha ha ha let's do this! The number of yoga memes I bumped into while digging for images for my piece - I'm sure your story will be relatable to so many of us as well :) Thank you, and, I'll be waiting for your essay too :)
This is such a trip. Mazeydaar. Feels like I’m seated inside your brain as a mini you chatters throughout about what’s going on.
ha ha ha thank you! The toddler had to have fun after all ;)
Loved it ! You've done this beautifully. I relaxed and thought your thoughts as i read this
Thank you, I needed the lightness! Waise, I'm enjoying Canva a lot! Even if it takes an extra hour (involving the converting it to Reels bit) lol
He he he .. giggling reading this .
I usually giggle in my head during yoga too ;) will share this with my instructor now :p

Yay!!!! So glad you liked it :) I do think of you often everytime I'm in yoga 😀
Lovely! How our minds are sprinting while trying to be physically stationary and at ease with self. Happy i found your NL.
Ha ha ha sprinting it is! What a perfectly apt description. Thank you :)
Love it! I have a grin pasted on my face right now :)
ha ha haaaa the stuff that goes on in our heads! Thank you for reading and enjoying my unfiltered thoughts, Khushboo :)
Keep them coming, Sanobar! I am loving it!
I’m loving the liberation that’s coming with each essay, Khushboo! Never knew writing could free me from my own self!
I hear you, Sanobar! So happy for you. Big hug!
Sanobar!! You’ve given me an idea now. I’m going to write about what my mind tells me when I’m doing my Yoga and Pilates! Love this…
Hey! Tomorrow's International Day of Yoga ;)
Aye aye! The thing is that I didn’t do Yoga on Intl Yoga Day. 😄 I need to do it for the thoughts and words to flow.

"But, now that I’m learning to feel at home in my body, I find it difficult to contain the excitement of feeling alive and staying still."
Loved thisss and the little window into your brain ♥️
Thank you :) I love diving into my brain and understanding it better through my writing too :)
