If you think a trainer can’t understand the condition you are in, you have no need to worry with me. I was a skinny yoga teacher up until my mid-thirties when someone once remarked that I looked as though I would have to run around in the shower to get wet.
Fast forward another twenty years and between Hashimoto’s disease and other medical conditions, my body has taken on a much different size and shape. What I have learned in my new body is that what matters most isn’t the shape or size of my body, but whether I have the strength, energy, and mobility to do what I want to do.
Rather than thinking about how you look, if you focus on how you feel, you can enjoy conditioning your body from the first session because movement is a type of nourishment that cannot be achieved in any other way and when we are nourished, we naturally feel better.
