A little life update from me…
September disappeared in something of a blur - recovering from shoulder surgery, finding my way back into the rhythm of life, lots of physiotherapy… and then some rather frustrating news about my neck.😞
Twelve years ago I had two artificial disc implants fitted in my neck. I’ve recently discovered, as part of a national safety recall, that the bones around the implants have significantly dissolved, with concerns about infection in the spine.
So in November I’ll be having reversal surgery to remove the two implants and have a two-level spinal fusion in their place.
It’s complex surgery, with a long recovery, which means I’ll need to take an extended period away from teaching in person. My brain is doing a lot of processing... but I’m also trying to see this next chapter as an invitation to slow down, listen more carefully and to explore many of the practices I teach from a different perspective.
And I’m definitely not going to totally disappear. Yay!!🥳
Live + Flow will become an even bigger and integral part of what I do for a while, and I’ll be finding more ways to connect with you, share practices and nurture our online community whilst I’m away from teaching in person.
I’ve written a much longer, more personal update in my October newsletter (drop me a message if you’d like to be added to the mailing list) - including a little more about what’s happening and what the coming months might look like.
This community has been such a huge part of my journey, and I genuinely don’t take it for granted. Sounds like such a cliche but it’s the truth!
Yoga teaches us that change is inevitable. That our practice is not about controlling what happens, but learning how to meet what is here.
So that’s what I’m going to try to do.
One breath, one day, one step at a time.
Here’s to whatever comes next.💜
And if you’re not already part of Live + Flow, you can try it free for 14 days - perhaps this is a lovely time to practise together.
Lots of love
Beks 💚
