Hey fam. Looking for guidance, validation, or anything you have to offer regarding pulled hamstrings. Last month when we were doing the ballet glider class, I went into the splits with the gliders under my feet. I heard a pop and immediate pain radiated down my right, dominant leg. Anyway, it’s been a month and I’ve been focusing on rest, recovery, and strength building, only going as deep into a stretch as my sweet hammy lets me. I guess my question is, and this may sound dramatic, but will I ever be able to do the splits again? I feel like this is a lesson in my pride and perfectionism. I was really proud of the flexibility I had, and my ego wants me to be able to get there again quickly. In the rabbit hole of online physical therapy, I also came across proximal hamstring tendinopathy, which has me questioning if I ever was truly flexible or just pushing myself too hard for too long. Any tips/ words of wisdom are welcome. 🥹💗

Hey mBody fam!!! I have a very serious question for everyone- who would want emo/ punk class? Like fall out boy, my chemical romance, paramore, panic at the disco, Avril Lavigne, the cure, muse, chiodos, gorillaz???? I’m a sweet girly but nothing gets me dancing like some emo music 👩🏻‍🎤

So my goal for the week is simple, but a hard one for me- and that’s prioritizing sleep! My goal is to journal and get in bed by 10pm for at least 5 out of the next 7 days. Phone in the other room. Pink noise on. Hoping this will help in several areas of my life 😂

And a moment of gratitude and joy: the first 10 days of this challenge have been like a body mind reset for me. Like every day is taking me back to principle I thought I mastered, and showing me I can trust my body even more and lean more into intention. Ex: pulling energy from the earth in wide second and just feeeeeeling it all the way up my body, or pushing the earth away in planks and discovering a new feeling of support through my arms and back. I’m just blown away, and so so happy.

Hey challengers! This came at the perfect time. I had an emergency appendectomy about a month ago, and I’m working to be more intentional about rebuilding my physical and mental well-being. So I’m committing to 60 days, and allowing myself to choose active recovery with stretch/ flows/ a good walk when I need it. 🥰

Here are my goals!

1. Complete 4 sets of 8 during the plank and core series, choosing modifications that make me feel the most connected to my body and the moment. (*My inner monologue tends to take over and tell myself “I cannot,” but I’ve grown confident in my toolbox and my ability to tune in to where my body is at and what it can do today.)

2. Focus on my breath work, especially into my pelvic floor, and allow my hips to loosen up. My hips could use some extra love and release.

3. Read 10 pages of a self- improvement or drama therapy book everyday. 📖

Thanks for everyone sharing their goals! They’ve been so inspiring to take in 💗
