I HEART YOGI

It's been a long time since I've posted about yoga....or as Savannah calls it, Yogi. 

Yoga has been such a great thing for the babies and I.  I truly believe that yoga has made this pregnancy so much easier!  The strengthening and stretching that we do during yoga has definitely helped to make all of the aches and pains of my rapidly growing belly much more bearable.  The mental benefits have been just as great! I absolutely adore my hour and 15 minutes of calm and peaceful yoga, and I have learned techniques that I can put into practice throughout the week!  I have also learned a few techniques that I plan to use during labor!  My instructor is absolutely amazing!  Not only is she a yoga expert, but she's also a former doula.  Her ability to put us in a state of calm is incredible!  My body is never more relaxed....  To have a good hour of placing my body into poses that help strengthen and stretch me, followed by 15 minutes of complete relaxation is priceless!

I just want to say thank you, again, to George and Farid, for making it possible to incorporate yoga into this pregnancy!

  1. I'll admit it. I always thought yoga was a joke. Free weights were supreme. Then a yoga studio opened on my block. I tried it and like crack I am hooked. I am *this close* to canceling my gym membership. Glad you're loving it too!
