Marley has been in yoga since inside of the womb! Baby yoga, Mommy and me yoga..........There are trillions of Yoga studios in L.A. We have been to many and this time around I happen to see a posting for a family yoga at one of my ultimate favorite stores Lululemon!!! This may be the first class where he was actually aware that he was in a yoga class. We showed up with our mats and Marley with a willingness to try......He was a bit intimidated by the quietness. We use yoga poses at home to calm down. For instance, if he gets too wound up. I come down to his level and I say lets do Yoga. Let's take 3 deep breaths...... Ok, close your eyes and ONE (inhale).....and it works(for us)!!!! So when we came to class, in his mind we really had no no reason to be quiet. He asked me sitting in Lotus pose "Mom, why is every body's eyes closed?"and I chuckled to myself. I responded, trying not to interrupt any ones zen state "Shhhhh, just relax." And I tell you it was 2 minutes of Heaven! He pressed his little hands together next to his heart and closed his eyes. :) RockYourBest ..........One breath at a time!
We also go to the park and do strength challenges......like "Who can hang the longest, MOM!!!!!!!!" We count out loud and Marley loves it!
