Bridget like all babies is extremely flexible. It's amazing. She can touch her foot to her head very easily.. My yoga teacher always says, watch a baby, they do yoga all day. Now that I am a mom, I really do see it.. Her moves are all yoga poses and I am sure that as she begins to crawl I will see more than a few downward facing dog poses too. Bridget and I go to a mommy and me yoga class as often as we can. There is a wonderful class that is held just a few blocks from our house. It's in a studio inside a maternity store. I actually took pre- natal yoga classes there with the same instructor. Yesterday, we went to the class and it was a great class. Usually I enjoy it , but it was especially enriching yesterday. There was a good energy in the room as yogis say. For some reason despite the great weather, the class was packed. This says somthing about the instructor. Usually several babies are fussing during the class and the instructor will offer to hold the baby. I don't recall this happening before. On a personal level, Bridget and I usually do half of the class together and then I nurse her or hold her and rock her to sleep. Well, yesterday, she had a great class and we finished the entire class without any breaks..
I was surprised and thrilled. Is it because I brought my camara?
Well, Bridget is developing more and more each day. Even though she barely napped that morning, she was interested and distracted enough to enjoy the class. She enjoys watching the other babies, watching me, doing yoga with me and also just sucking on her hands on her own mat like a true yoga baby.
After class, I went to eat at Whole Foods with the other moms and babies and she fell asleep in her stroller. This is a new recent development too that she can fall asleep on her own in her stroller when we aren't even moving.. yay Bridget.
I am so happy to have the pictures of the class. It is a wonderful class. I am able to enjoy the benefits of yoga and do some yoga with Bridget while meeting other moms, seeing and enjoying their babies, and learning ways to interact with Bridget. We do some of the poses from the class at home. She loves some of them. I also sing the lullabies from class to her at home. Yesterday in class we ended the class with a Spanish lullaby.. Perfecto!
Each week is more and more fun !!
