I've recently started back to doing weekly yoga classes. After several weeks or not doing much exercise, it's so nice to feel my body waking back up. My local yoga studio offers a mother and baby class on one of the days that Addie is in 'school'.
We do some yoga for ourselves while baby is laying on a blanket at our feet. Then we sing baby songs while doing some strength exercises using baby as a weight, Then we do baby yoga moving baby in ways to stimulate left brain/right brain development, balance & coordination, or ease digestion.
If you have ever been to a yoga class you know that the class is generally pretty quiet, calm and serene. Not so with postnatal yoga. This class is a cacophony of baby coos & gurgles, diaper bags rustling, rattles shaking, mother's coos and the occasional wail.
I love the time to actively connect with Samantha one on one, the same special time that Addie got at that age. Plus she naps GREAT afterwords.
