Phase Two: Weeks 3 - 6 | Post Abdominal Surgery Yoga | Yoga with Joy

- This is the second video in the 4 part recovery yoga series for after abdominal surgery. Although the exercises in this video are still very gentle, as it's aimed at those who have only recently undergone surgery, it is a step up from phase one, which is for using soon after surgery or later if the surgery was severe.
In phase two: weeks 3 - 6, we start seated, as by now you will be ready to spend more time out of bed. We then use a chair strengthen, which allows for some seated and standing exercises. Then the practice finishes with lying down and gently strengthening the core muscles, then a final relaxation.
In this yoga series there are four phases to aid your recovery after abdominal surgery, building up strength and flexibility so that daily movements become easier as you heal. Phase One is approximately for weeks 1 - 3 after surgery, followed by Phase Two (this video) which is suitable for weeks 3 - 6, Phase Three for weeks 6 - 9, and Phase Four for weeks 9 - 12. All the timings are approximate and you could carry on using the previous phases right through your recovery. You could use these videos to alternate with each other, depending on you body and the speed of your recovery.
The series of videos is for anyone who has undergone abdominal surgery, which could include hysterectomy, appendectomy, cholecystectomy, hernia operation, Caesarean section, any bowl surgery. Whatever surgery you've experienced, if it's involved an incision in your abdominal muscles these yoga techniques can really help. Just take things very slowly, do what you can and opt out of any exercise or posture that doesn't feel ok.
Please speak with your doctor before starting this post abdominal surgery course, as it's very important that whatever exercise you do is in line with your stage of recovery. Only you know your body, but if you're unsure about when to start gentle movements, speak with a medical professional.

Hey lovely ones 💙if you've recently gone through abdominal surgery of any kind, then this is a yoga sequence for you! Make sure you've healed quite a bit before taking part in this video.

Lots of love to you and blessings on your healing journey ✨🙏✨
I'm so glad I found your channel. I'm 4 weeks post abdominal hysterectomy and fear I've been overdoing it without proper guidance, so I'm incredibly thankful to now have your videos for good guidance!
Hello lovely ☺️ thank you for your comment ~ it's really good to hear that this pace is working for you. So important to listen to your body, isn't it! Sending you lots of love 🙏🪷🌻🌿
Hello Joy! I donated my kidney recently; and I found your videos even before surgery, in preparation. I started with Phase 1 about two weeks post-op, and it was all I could do. (I was exhausted, but felt great.) Today I "graduated myself" to Phase 2, and loved it. My go-to exercise for recovery is walking, and I find that your series complements this beautifully. Loved "the clock"!
Hey Kathy ~ you're amazing! What a wonderful thing to do, donate a kidney ❤ I'm so happy that these videos are helping you and complementing your walking. Yay, the clock! A lot of people get confused by that one (my instructions!) - I think I explain it better in the 12 week/12 video series I made (have you found that one?). I really wish you a swift and easeful recovery ~ sending blessings 🌟
thank you for this Joy! Ive been doing maybe a bit too much , walking too far, carrying bags that are prob a bit too heavy etc, so this has brought me back to a more gentle level of exercise at week 4 / 5 and its great at bedtime to calm down and relax too. Very helpful for so many people I'm sure! You're so kind to put this video series up! Got to remind ourselves that even though scars look more healed on the outside things take a lot longer on the inside.
Hi Nikki, thank you for your comment. Really great you've found a way to slow down a bit, as I know how easy it is to rush back into life before we're actually ready! I'm so happy that this video is helping you in any way. Have you found the 12 week series I created that has one video per week? People find that one beneficial too. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💛🌟✨
Ooo ill take a look for that series too. Thankyou! @@YogawithJoy sending love also!
Today is exactly 4 weeks after my hysterectomy surgery, it has been lots of pain and fatigue for me, so I've been very still while longing for my mat. But I've been having 3 good days now, so I figured I'd search for a soothing post hysterectomy routine and I found you. This was incredible. It felt safe and loving. It was so so good to move my body in this gentle way, and remember to fill myself up with love again, I ended the session with tears of gratitude. Thank you dearly 🙏🏼
Oh this is such a heartfelt, sweet message, thank you so much 🙏💓 really beautiful and encouraging to read. Sending you lots of love and blessings on your healing journey 💕🌿🌼🪻🪷🌻
The around the clock tilts, spot on. Surprisingly the assisted chair pose felt easy. Thanks!
Wonderful to hear! Love to you 💖
Hello I’m 4 weeks today post-hysterectomy and hemi-colectomy 🫣 Before surgery I had a daily yoga practice & one of my biggest fears was losing my fitness. Your post-abdominal surgery practices have been an incredible support to my recovery, Joy. Thank you so very much 🙏🙏
Thank you very much Joy. This is just what I need right now after around 4-5th week of my surgery. And for everyone who in need of this video, I hope you all get recovered very soon❤️❤️
Hi Toey, lovely to read your comment 😊 I'm so pleased these videos are helping you! Sending you lots of love and healing 💛🌿🌸✨
This one is lovely split into two as I couldn't do the whole thing, so stopped at the end of the chair bit and did the lying down bit on another day. I'm nearly 8 weeks post-op and this series has been lovely for me so far! I've found a difference in the pressure in my abdomen after these sequences, which makes me feel lighter and more energetic. Thank you Joy x
Hi lovely 🌟 thanks for your message ~ have you found the other series with 12 videos? It moves up a level each week. It means that all the sequences are a bit shorter and essentially similar exercises to this series but all chopped into three (if that makes sense). I recommend trying that series if these are a bit long or challenging for you. Love and healing blessings 💛
Yep, aiming to do all videos in that playlist for the month and see if that returns me back to headstands and pre-op flexibility ;) @@YogawithJoy
Really enjoyed this. I am 7 weeks post open partial nephrectomy. I have a 15cm incision so I’ve got a long road ahead. This sequence really felt good tonight! Thank you.
4 weeks post c-section, and I'm just joining - I've been itching to get back to my practice but have been scared to start, so thank you for this ☺️
Thank you for showing this video
Hi Anita 😊 thank you! With love and healing blessings 💓
Hi Joy
Thank you so much for videos. It’s a month since my vaginal hysterectomy and bladder proplaspe repair. I have lot of pressure and soreness in the pelvic area and hoping your lovely calming gentle yoga will help.
Blessings to you in 2024
Mary
Hello Mary 😊 If you are feeling very sore and find this video a bit challenging, you could start with Phase One or use the other series (where there is a new video each week). Let me know how you get on and if these videos help with your recovery. Sending love and healing blessings 💗✨🌟✨
Hi Joy, I really enjoyed this video yesterday! But you're right, this is a step up in intensity! Monday and Tuesday were pretty active days for me, so today will be a rest day. :) The cats seem to agree with that decision. P.S. I think the flies in my living room can recognize when there are flies in the videos. They love to "hang out" together, haha.
Hi Stef, that's so funny about the flies! Unfortunately when I was filming the first two videos in this series I had my mic on too high (and an annoying infestation of flies!!), so you can hear everything really loudly. Funny that your flies responded ☺️ yes this one is a step up - I've scheduled week 3 for this Sunday, which will seem pretty gentle again. I hope your recovery is easeful. Love, Joy 💛
Thank you very much for posting this type of Yoga! It has been truly advantageous in helping my healing process go smoothly.
Hello 🤗 that's great to hear ~ I'm so pleased that these videos have helped you. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💗🌟✨
I've just 'graduated' onto this level and it feels so good. My vocal cords were damaged during abdominal surgery and just hearing you talk about nourishing and healing is sooooo good since I have stressful ongoing ENT testing. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!
What a lovely comment! I'm so happy that this series is helping you. Have you found the post abdominal surgery playlist? There are a lot of videos on there and also another series too. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Perfect. Thank you.
A pleasure! Sending healing blessings 💜🌿🌸
Amazing video! Thank you! I’m 4 weeks post appendectomy and have been craving exercise. I’ve done some light stretching on my own to ease stiffness but have been lost on what I can do other than walking to get exercise. This is exactly what I needed! Thank you! I feel incredible!!
Hi Nadine ~ lovely to hear from you 🙏 I'm really pleased you've found these videos and finding them useful ~ very happy to hear this! Love and healing blessings 💛🍁🍂✨
@@YogawithJoy I actually shared your videos with my surgeon yesterday, she said she is going to recommend you to all her future patients!
@@nadineunger7659 amazing! That's lovely 🌟
Thank you…💜
Hey Nora ☺️ thank you 🙏 sorry for the late reply ~ I had some time off screens this summer! 🧡🍁🍂✨
Thanks so much for this series!🙏
A pleasure! Thank you for your lovely comment 🙏 Love and healing blessings to you 💓
Fabulous! Amazing and making such a positive difference to my recovery!
I started phase 2 today after completing phase 1 for just over a week. The difference is incredible! From not hardly being able to move or stand up straight to be being able to complete this sequence today in just under 2 weeks. I look forward everyday to my practice and I rest deeply afterwards. I can now take short walks outside! Thank you so much for the love and healing you are bringing into my life Joy! You have given me hope after a full hysterectomy and prolapse surgery. A little shining light for me ❤ ❤
Aw Amanda this is a lovely comment! Thank you 🙏 I'm so happy that these videos are helping with your recovery. Have you found the 12 video series yet? You might want to mix and match. The video changes every week. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💗🌿✨
Thank you
A pleasure 😊
Thank you, Joy!!! I am on my third week after abdominal surgery. So glad I found this video. ❤️ very helpful!
Hi Irina 😊 lovely to hear from you! I'm very happy that this video is helpful... Have you found the playlist with all the other videos too? th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
There are quite a lot of videos on there. Sending love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Just finished the week 3 video. Felt great! I had a partial nephrectomy open flank on March 14. I really liked the clock rotation. That was challenging but felt like it got to some sore parts of my lower back that are stiff from all the time in bed
Thanks for your great work 🙏
My pleasure 🌺
Tried this one today and was amazed how strong those seated poses feel! Step by step. Thanks Joy!
You're amazing! Yes they must feel strong after being so unwell. Sending love 💕
I had pelvic floor surgery (abdominally) a few weeks ago and this is exactly what I was looking for and what I needed. Thank you SO much for making this series
Hi Hannah ~ I'm so pleased you're finding this series helpful. Have you found the 12 week one with a different video each week? It could be useful to mix and match. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 💗🌿✨
Lovely, just the right increase in effort for me. Thanks ever so much Joy!
Hi Marianne, I'm so happy to hear that! 💛✨
I love all your video Joy very relaxing 😌
Hey - nice to meet you! 🍁
I am week 6 post ependectomy surgery. Wish I had found you sooner, but I am so glad to have this now. Thank you!
Hello Susie ☺️ lovely to hear from you. I hope you're feeling ok after surgery and these videos are helping. Sending you lots of love and healing blessings ✨💓✨
I'm so happy I found you and this series of videos! Im on week 6 after a cholecystectomy and week 12 after a Salpingo-oophorectomy. I just wish I've found you sooner. Thank you very much and namaste
So lovely to hear from you ~ I'm pleased you've found these videos and they are beneficial. Sorry for the late reply! I missed you comment. How are you doing now? I hope you're healing well. Sending love 🙏💜🌿
Thank you. I just started phase 2 today. You know exactly how I feel!
Hey Gloria, I'm so pleased you've moved on to phase 2! And I'm also happy that I've got the stages of healing right for you. Sending lots of love 🙏💚🌿✨
Two months post liver resection surgery here 🙋🏻♀️. This is a nice series. I didn’t realize how weak i was after having to rest for so long. I needed this. Thank you.
Thank you so much for this comment ~ it's really lovely to hear how these videos are supporting your recovery. I really hope you feel stronger and stronger as you heal. Sending you lots of love and blessings 💗🌸🌿
Thank you Joy for these wonderful videos! You have been a great companion during my recovery! I'm three weeks post abdominal surgery and these movements were perfect.
Hi Kwazulu 😊 I'm so pleased you've found these videos helpful... Have you seen the full playlist (7 videos on there): th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Joy, this is my fourth week after surgery. During surgery I had some complications and my recovery seemed to prolong. From the day of surgery until yesterday, i was struggling with my back. I booked an appointment with a physiotherapist which is in 2nd week of August due to no availability of sessions.
Luckily, i searched here and found you. Your above phse 2 video is amazing. I did bits and pieces yesterday and today I woke up in a much better condition. I felt good and for a change my back wasn't sore.
I really want to thank you from bottom of my heart.❤. Such a beautiful video made by you. Bless you😊
Hello lovely ~ I'm so so sorry that this is such a late reply! I missed your comment and I've only just found it. Thank you for your kind words. Did these videos continue to help throughout your recovery? Sending you love 🙏💓✨
This was so gentle and loving and completely reconnected to my body as surgery has disconnected me from the 'painful' parts. And this awakened or activated the muscles I am so scared of using again. Thank you so much, beautiful soul. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Namaste.
Hi Ilana 💗 what a lovely comment to read! Thank you so much for your heartfelt response to these videos. Sending you much love and healing blessings 💛🌿✨
Thank you so much for this! Been missing my yoga and the videos I tried to do after surgery were giving me too much pain so was wonderful finally feeling like I could do yoga without causing damage
Hi Shira 😊 that's great to hear! I'm really pleased these ones work for you and are gentle enough to feel safe. Sorry this reply is so slow - I've missed a few comments recently. Also, I'm conducting some research for a project I'm doing about women's pelvic abdominal health. If your surgery was related to that, would you be up for chatting with me on Zoom? It would be so helpful! Here's the link to book a call: calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
With love and healing blessings 🧡🍁🍂✨
Thank you so much, Joy, for the video. Very useful. The only thing is that I heard you can't sit on the floor for 6 weeks after surgery. So I did it in the bed.
Hello lovely ~ so sorry for the late reply! I missed your comment somehow. I'm happy that this video has been good for you. Doing it in bed is perfect. How are you doing now? Are you healing ok? With love 💖
Thank you so much for these videos! I am 6 weeks post liver transplant. Doctors used the Mercedes incision (looks like large peace sign on abdomen). Your videos (Phase One and now Phase Two) are so perfect for me - gentle reawakening of these muscles has been so helpful. I feel the swelling has gone down and I have improved range of motion. I plan to continue with the series. And your demeanor is so pleasant and calming. Peace.
Hi Judith ~ lovely to hear from you 😊 I'm really pleased these videos are benefiting you and helping your recovery. Have you found the playlist with other 12 week series (weekly videos) and a few stand-alone videos too? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending love and healing blessings 🙏🌺🌿🌻🌾
Thank you dear, im old had my stomach removed, this episode is where i am at. I will start tomorrow. Im in Thailand and struggling, thanks again!
Hi there ~ really good to hear from you. That's a big operation - I hope you have enough support. I also hope these videos are helping you. Remember if one video feels too hard, then drop down to a previous week... every surgery and body is different. Have you found the playlist with all the post ab surgery videos on it? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
With love and healing blessings, Joy 🙏🌻🌺🌞🌿
Thank you, dear Joy. I have undergone hysterectomy 2 weeks ago and been following your videos ever since. Have moved on to this phase already as I am feeling quite strong. The upright sitting I still do on my sofa though as sitting without support is still not for me. Just love your videos and how you encourage us to listen to our bodies and be supercareful and gentle. I really do, no matter what others say ("I know somebody who has already...after 2 weeks....", "Are you still not your old self...?") and I just wanted you to know that your videos have helped me a lot on my way. Looking forward to phase 3 whenever I am ready for it! Thanks ever so much, dear, Joy. Love and namaste from Germany, Jessi
Hi Jessi, I'm so pleased you're finding these videos helpful! Two weeks might be a bit early to sit on a chair like that, so it's good you've found a modification on the sofa. It is soooo important that you listen to your body, while moving very gently to strengthen and tone. It's difficult when some people think rushing to heal as quickly as possible is better, though it usually leads to all sorts of complications. I'm pleased you already know to take it slow. You'll heal beautifully! In case you haven't found the post abdominal surgery playlist, here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending lots of love and healing blessings 💛🌸✨

This makes me very happy! I'm really pleased these videos work for you. I really hope you have a relaxed and easy recovery. Sending lots of love 💗🌻🌼🌸
Joy, thank you dear sister. I found this series last night. It is just what I needed. I am at week 4 post hysterectomy and feeling strong.. I instantly felt connected to you and the music is beautiful!! Do you have a yoga music Playlist you would share? Much love, healing, and peace to you and to all in this comment section. 🙏 ❤☮
Hi Sonia 😊I'm so happy this series is helping you! Have you found the playlist with all the post abdominal surgery playlists on it? Here's the link: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Actually all the music on my channel is by my sister, Susie Ro. Here's the link to her channel: th-cam.com/users/SusieRoMusic
Her website is www.susiero.com
She's super talented and has a beautiful voice.
I don't have a music playlist for yoga - I actually don't use music in my life classes (or during the sequences in my videos). However I'm starting a face-to-face Restorative Yin Yoga class that I will be playing music in, so I'll have a playlist soon!
Love and healing blessings to you!
Thank you Joy, this is a very energising & relaxing practice. I especially loved being able to do some gentle yoga. I could really feel my abdominal muscles working. Supported chair 3 weeks post surgery feels like a massive achievement. I’m looking forward to progressing this. Best wishes Virginia 🥰
Hi again Virginia ☺ that's great you managed this one! Does it feel ok? I hope you were able to do this without over stretching your wound area. I'd love to hear how you progress through the series. Did you get the playlist that I sent in the last reply? Here it is again in case you haven't found it: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
There are 3 others in there that aren't in this recovery series (ie stand alone videos). Love to you ❤
I really enjoyed it and as the exercises are nice and slow and gentle, it is easy to tell when to back off and when you can push yourself a wee bit further. Yes, thank you so much for the playlist. I shall watch them all first so I can see how they will fit in with my recovery. Do you have any yoga on the ball videos? My well woman physiotherapist recommended that that would be what i would be aiming for down the line. I am really missing my daily Yoga practice. I must be a be patient patient. Thank you again Virginia xx
Thank you for this nice and gentle yoga. Four weeks ago I had surgery on trapped abdominal nerve. Started this week due to too much pain in the first weeks. Really nice to be able to do this practice. Thank you! ❤️

Thanks for this one, Joy! As I shared with your Phase 1, I am 5 months post op but still healing and figuring out how much I can do. I am already noticing my flexibility improving after doing these videos! I will stick with this one for now and then move on to Phase 3 next week! You are incredibly calming and soothing to watch/listen to during this this difficult time. Thank you so much for helping me and everyone here. 🙏 I can’t wait to do more of your videos once I am healed. You are GREAT!

Hi beautiful
it's my week 4 post op and day 3 of the Phase 2 🧘♀️. I'm confused with the plexus clock. Hope it gets easier . However feeling the new muscles.
Love n Light
Hello lovely ☺️ yes the pelvic clock gets easier! Have you found my other post abdominal surgery videos? Here's the playlist: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94WKWBRSP9wxGFOwnq8T3Ug4.html
There is a 12 part series in there and one of the videos has the pelvic clock in it too (for around the same stage of recovery). I think I explain it better in that one! I'll try and find the video. Love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Hey dear ,thank for such video .pls confirm that while you exhale that is the time you squeeze in pelvic muscle
Hi there, lovely to hear from you 😊 I'm pleased you're finding this video helpful. Have you found the playlist with all the post abdominal surgery videos in it? Yes you gently engage/squeeze the pelvic floor muscles when you exhale. This means that you're lifting them with ease, rather than tension. Lots of love and healing blessings 💚🌿🌸✨
Thanks for this.
The clock asana is a bit unclear to me.Hard to see what you are actually doing🙏
Hi Shani ~ yes I think the clock is unclear in this one - have you tried the weekly 12 week course? I think the clock is better explained in that one. Here's the link to the other video with the clock in it: th-cam.com/video/Em_x-fYVszA/w-d-xo.html

Also, I'm conducting research so I can help women with pelvic or abdominal trauma (such as hysterectomy, prolapse etc), if your surgery fits this picture, would you be up for chatting with me for research? If you'd like to, then this is the link for my schedule (for Zoom calls): calendly.com/yogawithjoy/60min
Sending love and healing blessings 🙏💛🌿🌺💗
Not yet , but I will 🙏💜
Thank you so much for this Joy
Hi lovely, thank you for your message... I'll going up explain it in detail soon... I just wanted to write to say I haven't forgotten you! Just need to be on my computer to write probably 💛
@@YogawithJoy Thank you, that's brilliant, no worries at all! :-)
Hi Emily, I'm so sorry it's taken me this long to reply. I'm on holiday and only have my phone with me. So, with the 'pelvic clock' you can very gently keep the pelvic floor engaged as you move around the clock, or, if you have good coordination, you can release the pelvic floor muscles on the inhale, engaging the muscles again on the exhale. Make sure you keep everything gentle and relaxed, when when you're lifting the pelvic floor muscles up, so you're not excessively tightening the area. Does that make sense? Love, Joy 💚
Hi Joy :-) Thank you so much, yes, that's lovely - makes perfect sense! I hope you had a lovely holiday! Please don't worry about replying within a timeframe :-) Replenishing time is important x
about 5 weeks post hysterectomy. This was perfect!
Ah I'm so pleased! Great that this one suits you now. How is your recovery going? Sending you lots of love 💚🌿🌸✨
@@YogawithJoy It's going well! I am taking my time with recovery but also finding the need to get moving at the right pace so these videos are great! Thank you again!
Thank you, this is perfect for me 4 weeks post abdominal hysterectomy 🙏
Hi Rachael 😊 That's wonderful you are finding this video helpful! There is a playlist of lots of post abdominal surgery videos, including another series (12 week one) and other videos too. They could be really helpful for you: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
Sending you lots of love and healing blessings 🙏💗🌿🌺
Hi.. I got my surgery done a month before for ovarian cyst removal and I was thinking of doing these exercises. One thing which I wanted to ask is are we allowed to sit on the floor or not. I have got many suggestions like don't sit in the floor for 2 more months and not to do anything by bending forward. I already have problem if diastasis recti post delivery. It's been 7 years now. Thank u for making these videos. awaiting for ur reply
Hi Rakhi, thank you for your comment 🙏💚🌿 how does it feel if you try to sit up? I know that every surgery is different and after many types of abdominal surgery sitting up after a few weeks is ok. Why don't you try the lying down parts of my videos and only sit up if it feels aright to do so. You're body will tell you if it's too uncomfortable to sit on a yoga mat. Sitting on a chair should be ok from about 3 weeks. Here's my post abdominal surgery playlist, where I have 7 videos for you to try: th-cam.com/play/PLap6D_DFf94VH35zdv1FKO2G7mOJCwcgc.html
I also have diastasis recti, after 22 years! Once you have healed from the ovarian cyst operation, keep up the abdominal core strengthening exercises, this will really help with diastasis recti and keep the rest of you body from discomfort. Much love and blessings on your healing 🌺💗🌸
Hi Joy.. i am allowed to sit from the next day of my surgery. I used to sit on bed or chair or sofa but my back especially the hip bone the last part of our spine hurts a lot..
I have now started taking some calcium n vitamin tablets due to which the back doesn't pain very much but it does sometimes. I have sat on a chair till now and haven't yet started sitting on the floor. N my family has told me not to sit on the floor for next one month bcoz sitting on the floor can worsen the hernia problem. That is y I was asking if I can sit on the floor.
Thank you kidney transplantation:
Blessings Kevin ~ I hope you're recovering well! With love 🙏💛✨
After a 10 hour surgery 2weeks ago ( hysterectomy, cystocele and rectcele repair, lysis of abdominal adhesions - at age 66), it is wonderful to find gentle guidance to ever so easily come back to my yoga. I had so many fears it would be gone forever, but these phases of reentry give me hope. None of this was even suggested, I am grateful to have come across your series. I can feel the healing start. Namaste❤
Hey lovely, thank you for your comment, it's so great to read that these videos are supporting your recovery. You've been through a lot and I'm happy that this yoga can help you relax and reconnect with yourself. Sending you love and healing blessings 🙏💗🌸🌿
