Another successful baby yoga class. . .

Hi fellow yogis:)

Tuesdays are so far my most fulfilling days as I get to do a full day of practice, preparing and executing. Wow, what a rewarding experience!!!!!

So the kiddies and all their mommies are on holiday, and as most yogis know, when one door closes so another one opens and that is exactly the journey. Until late September when kiddies come back I have the privilege of hosting a baby yoga class. Today I had 2 beautiful mommies with their 9 month old and 8 month old. Again these little rugrats did not like to be put on their backs. And ofcourse they didn't! They are at a phase where they just started to learn to crawl, and have the world at their discovery,  why would they submit to the pearl of savasana, hehe, adorable little explorers.

I made sure that I included much more postures for the mommies to get involved with touch and movement in their own practice...only once the mommies came down to collect their kisses, baby was halfway across the room:) We improvised...


Also another great lesson and note from one very observant mom was the nap time, and I could see it so prevalent. One little rascal was woken up from her nap to attend and the other just before his nap,the results, completely opposite!

The one woken up from her nap was slightly grumpy, not interested in much movement and wanted mommy very close, the other (before his nap) full of life and very curious of the other baby in the room. It is interesting how we grow and become as we once were...did we get enough sleep? Were we taken from our present experience to be forced into another? What was our attitude and how did we handle it?

Till next time...
