Shortly after welcoming my ginger haired blossom into the world, I connected with the Whole Mothering Center of SETX and attended a weekly walk. There, I was told about Mommy and Me Yoga. I was interested, but didn’t go. In fact, I didn’t go back to a walk for a few weeks either! I felt weighted down by my new bundle.
Finally, I decided to attend Mommy and Me Yoga. It was wonderful! I had been worried that she would cry and disrupt the other moms, but that simply wasn’t the case. There were toddlers running around playing, babies crying and nursing, and moms of all levels.
I truly enjoyed the few moments of yoga I was actually able to focus on. CA was not exactly interested in laying on her blanket watching me, so I held her for most of it. But the leader offered variations for anyone who might not be able to do the exact pose!
Learning to breathe through distractions will definitely come in handy once CA is in her terrible twos. Heck, it will come in handy now!
