I used to practice yoga- then cancer happened. With great anticipation, I made it back to my mat today! The heat in the studio was 105, the lights dimmed, and the music moved me. I'm ready. It wasn't long before class began- I struggled to hold the pose. I looked at my body in the mirror, and tears rolled down my cheeks. I laid down on my mat and modified my workout. For the first time, it hit me how hard my body has been working to fight cancer. I said to myself, "I'm Here”- I showed up. I thanked my body for fighting so hard for me.
