The Cost of Coming Back

Shout out to those of you who are coming back to your training and fighting to regain what you've lost for the THIRD TIME now! To those of you who started to rebuild only to be shut out again, who are struggling through this return to classes, who just can't keep doing this: YOU ARE NOT ALONE.

I’ve been hearing from students how difficult it is to jump back in this time. Will this be the final climb out of pit? Will we gain ground only to be locked out again? So many uncertainties, and no guarantees. But we feel you, and we’re here for you. Bodies are resilient, and they have excellent memories. While you may feel you’re at square one and starting again, what you’re actually doing is recovering the strength and endurance that is still there. It will take time, but we can also enjoy the journey by supporting each other and enjoying every moment that we get to train together!

Sometimes the only way to keep moving forward is to ask: if not forward, then where?

Backwards? Can’t.

Sideways? So…never do circus again? No.

Sometimes, the only way forward is to keep showing up, keep fighting, cry a little, and laugh a lot.

We will recover, physically and mentally, together.
