Nate has noticed my yoga mat in the back of the car and been asking about it. The other day he said:
"Mommy, my body is sore. Will you teach me yoga?"
Ding ding ding!
I'm not a cookie baking mom, but yoga 101 I can do. So we rolled out the mat and worked on basics.
Yoga for kids has always intrigued me, and I've watched quite a few classes. This morning I tried to teach him bits of what I remembered, barking in Down Dog and meowing in Cat. He loved Mountain and was excited to start working on Tree, but got distracted by his stuffed football and Matchbox cars. That's enough namaste for now, but we'll be back.
I'm reading "Itsy Bitsy Yoga For Toddlers" and thinking about teacher training. I think we'd make good a good yogi team, no?

he's adorable... & he seems to be harnessing his chi pretty well for a first timer.
