    Fit Phat Chat 

    Well, we are video now!

    Holes in your Yoga pants and holes in your life

    Christy and Ayanna talk about underwear and what is your "under-self."

    You are Beautiful and Brutal all at once for the return of this pod.

    Ayanna has been busy working on a book, and Christy has been working on herself.

    The conversation about Christy having a hole in her pants leads to a philosophical discussion about addressing the easy fix.

    Do you wear black underwear every day? That way, the holes in your yoga pants don't matter.

    Do we practice a way to meditate daily that makes it look or feel like we are whole?

    What places can we leave space or take space to do better?

    These ladies talk about Ayanna's new book " unfuck your stuck" and one of the agreements in Ayanna's new 12 that will give your practice a contemporary punch.

    Serious Injury

    That is right; she broke her Neck.

    She had her boyfriend drive her to the ER to confirm and then got surgery.

    After a spinal fusion, she gave herself 24 hours to be mean to herself and wallow in her frustration.

    She lived with her cervical collar and used no pain medication.

    She made herself a TikTok and started documenting her recovery.

    She read "untethered soul" and said she only allowed herself to read one chapter a day.

    She pushed through incredible pain and didn't accept the go slow advice from others.

    She is back teaching and credits being present with herself.

    Accepting her journey

    And how her body connects to the neck and spine

    She credits her fitness evolution to where she is today.

    Christie talks a bit about "toxic positivity."

    and being inauthentic vs. Kaylin's shift to accepting her station on her journey.
