Asana practice has been spotty, but being a mom has introduced a new dimension to yoga practice. It tethers me to the present. I may start the day planning on a morning nap, time to sit, a long walk, or a thoughtful post. But that sitting practice may turn into a nursing session when the morning nap ends early. The long walk often turns into a stroll around the block when Cam just isn't feeling it. And that thoughtful post usually ends up as more thoughts than actual blog post.
I've also rediscovered the joy of teaching. On Saturday mornings, I've been leading an informal prenatal yoga class at a neighbor's house. I've so enjoyed tweaking the pace of class to match the group's needs and introducing poses that hit the spot for what ails their pregnant bodies.
My favorite part of being a mom is watching Cam learn new things. We've started a mommy-son yoga practice with the help of Itsy Bitsy Yoga for infants and toddlers. The good morning series is his favorite, and he loves a good aerial headstand.
