Mum and Baby Yoga at 889

I’m excited it is Tuesday.  Excited because tomorrow is my favorite class at 889.  At 11:15 every Wednesday morning, myself, and a few other yoga mamas bring our little ones into class for Post-natal yoga with our babies!  They lounge around on blankets, occasionally chant OM or chatter excitedly to each other in their own little language.  Sometimes they bust out a downward dog or a cobra with great enthusiasm to rounds of applause.  If we are lucky they fall asleep in Savasana. 

As a busy working mother, I am constantly striving for a balance between family time and career.   My own personal yoga practice is most often what is sacrificed to make way for what I see as priorities (time with my kids, and my job as Yoga Community Leader).   It’s not that my own practice isn’t important – it is just that over the years I have developed a realistic approach to my yoga practice, that frees me from feeling guilty if a busy day prevents me from getting to my mat. 

In Mum and Baby yoga I feel so blissfully balanced:  integrated into our wonderful yoga community, getting my asana practice in for the day and stealing as many kisses and hugs with my precious little guy as I can into 75 minutes. 

Tiffany teaches a fabulous flow class that is truly accessible for women at all stages of their post-partum recovery.  It isn’t always peaceful (!) or relaxing (!), but no other class comes close to being filled with this much love.
