baby yoga

The View
Heather/Pippa and Meghan/Connor and Ellie/I signed up for Mommy and Me yoga.  I was thinking it'll be the refreshing relaxing yoga of days past. 
Um...not exactly.


The kids drowned out the nice soothing meditative sounds on the sound system.  Ellie was crawling all over the place; when I tried to pull her onto my chest to do a move, she pulled my shirt down to nurse; I tried to do a move where I stand on one leg and lift the other horizontally.  Ellie had another idea, she wanted to be lifted off the ground by grabbing onto my ankle and desperately trying to not let go.  Oh and this was accompanied by some real tears.  Yoga must be killing her mom - clearly that could be the only reasonable excuse.

That was last week.This week, it was awesome!!! I was able to plan better - got there early and fed her both real food and nursed.  She was able to nap beforehand, so Elizabeth felt pretty comfortable playing by herself.  The only time I had to really focus on her was when she nearly took out a fellow yoga mom (standing on one leg) by sneaking up from behind. I thwarted her attempts to grab her leg and stand up with inches to spare. 


Regardless, this week was a tremendous improvement. I got a nice bucket of sweat going (which is my goal) and no big incidents. 


Overall, a major success!  Here are some shots from the day. :)
