I never thought my first entry in a yoga blogspace would be about hormone replacement therapy. Yet, here I am, sharing this deeply personal journey as it embodies the essence of living my yoga beyond the mat.

Yoga is more than just a physical practice for me. It hasn't always been, but it has become a way of life, a guiding philosophy that extends far beyond the mat. As I embark on a new chapter with HRT, I am reminded of the deeper, holistic aspects of yoga that have always resonated with me: self-awareness, acceptance, and transformation.

This journey with HRT is not about the physical postures of yoga, but about living my yoga in its truest sense. It's about honoring my body, listening to its needs, and making choices that support my overall wellbeing. Just as yoga teaches us to find balance and harmony within, HRT is a step toward achieving that balance in my life.

In this blog, I want to share my experiences, the challenges, and the triumphs, and offer encouragement to other women navigating similar transitions. Together, we can embrace these changes with grace and strength, embodying the true spirit of yoga in every aspect of our lives.

A note to myself, July 6, 2024

Today marks a significant new beginning as I embark on my journey with hormone replacement therapy. This step is a commitment to my health, wellbeing, and embracing the changes in my life with courage and grace.

Remember, this transition is a powerful reminder of my strength and resilience. I am taking control of my health and choosing to prioritize my body and mind. As I navigate this new chapter, I aim to spread awareness and support other women going through similar transitions, sharing my experiences and encouraging others to seek the help they need.

In moments of doubt, remind myself of the courage it took to make this decision and the positive impact it will have on my life. I am not alone; I am part of a community of strong, empowered women. Let this journey be a testament to my inner strength and my unwavering commitment to living a healthy, balanced life.

Embrace this new beginning with open arms and a hopeful heart.
