Somebody is Pregnant - Prental Yoga

A boy or a girl?  It doesn't matter - what matters most is to have a healthy baby and mom. 
 
I amso excitedand delighted to find out that one of my previous prenatal students is now pregnant again!!  And with her help, my teachers in training will be able to see and witness how different poses are adjusted to safety orient the mom and baby. 
 
Here are a few benefits about Prenatal Yoga:
 
Not only is this a special time for mom to connect with her baby-to-be, it is very safe with a qualified instructor.

Rabbit Pose

As I was practicing yoga early this morning, I saw the jump of a rabbit that caught my attention out of my yoga room window.  It jumped up from the ground and onto the rocky patio area underneath my deck.  It stayed there for a while, so I decided to quickly grab my daughter's camera. Both my daughter and I were amazed how long the rabbit stayed there ~ as if he wanted to pose for us.  I took a photo for everyone to enjoy.

Breathe Deeply and Find the Rhythm

mimi profile 4As I sit in my dining room this morning, I have my sliding door opened just enought to embrace the sounds of nature....the birds are singing, the wind every now and then whispers and the rustling of leaves moving from a little animal.  Becoming one with nature I start to breathe deeply, connect and feel great.  This is how you can obtain a great breath:  Start your breath with your belly, not with the chest.  Breathing deeply, with your diaphragm, directly calms the nervous system.  Following the breath as it comes in, and as it comes out.  Take it really slow.  Breathe rhythmically when you listen to nature, sing, dance, do yoga, skate, climb, ski, swimming and more.
