Soreness and Missing an old “remedy”

by

I am not a fan of being sore. I actually go several massages last week and I only think it made matters worse. Now I think I am actually recovering from the massages rather than the initial soreness.Yoga has definitely made a difference. But really, I think time will just make it go away. It’s not bad soreness, it is this kind of stiffness in my neck and other places where I was massaged - the back and such.
When I grew up in the ballet studio, I learned that the proper way to deal with soreness was to work through it. The only way I know how to work through my soreness is yoga. It used to be ballet, but now ballet has done so much damage to my body that I can’t get through an entire ballet class without some bad pains from old injuries coming out. At this point in my life, ballet is just bad for my body.

I remember how ballet used to feel so good on my body. No matter what soreness, I could work through it and eventually get past in through a ballet class.
I guess in time I have to face that my body has changed. I depend on a yoga class instead of a hardcore, body forcing ballet class. If you are still young in your body, make sure you properly take care of it. If you don’t you could easily have the aches and pains I have now from improper care.
Whatever. I’m just sore and feel like complaining.
