On and off for the past 14 years, I have attended regular yoga classes or practiced yoga at home. Yoga is great for flexibility, toning, and balance. I love making yoga a part of my life, but some things have to go out the window when you have a baby. Most of the mommy and baby yoga classes around here are during the work day. One mommy had commented in conversation that she picked up a mommy and baby yoga DVD. Brilliant idea! But, since I'm pretty attached to one style of yoga (vinyasa), I didn't want to spend the money if I wasn't going to like the routine. So, I searched through some youtube videos to find something that would work. It's a short routine (about 20 minutes), which is perfect for our attention span in the morning. And, I've got some ideas on how to vary the routine. If you're not familiar with yoga, you can always browse other videos on Youtube or try out one of the DVD's.
I was on a real roll doing this routine with Lily every morning, but things got a little crazy, and I stopped for awhile. I wanted to get up yesterday morning and do this, but Sean took one look at me and said, "Do you want me to take her while I work out, so that you can go back to bed." I said, "That sounds like a great idea." And, I handed him the baby and put my face down in a pillow. LOL. This morning, he kept popping in and out of the living room while he was getting ready trying to catch us doing some yoga together. It was very cute.
There are two parts to this routine:
