Yoga at Stroller Strides

On Wednesday, I taught a mini yoga class to a group of Stroller Strides mamas.  I invited 2 friends and went early so that I could participate in Stroller Strides before the yoga class.  I soon discovered that it was SO TOUGH!  Those moms were amazing, doing a million squats and burpees, I couldn't believe it and definitely couldn't keep up.

I was grumpy that I had to wear shoes (I am a yogi after all) and I was sweating within minutes.  I had planned a high energy yoga class, because I knew there would be kids involved, but by the time we got to yoga, I just wanted to relax!  I made the best of it, did some simple stretches, Warrior poses, used scarves and animal figures to keep the kids involved and brought Peri's Sing and Play yoga cards with me to show the kiddos and do some poses using those as well.

It was fun but I was beat afterwards and came home and took a nap with my babe!  I would be happy to come teach a kids' yoga, or adult yoga class for moms, any time to Stroller Strides or another group, I love meeting new moms and kiddos.  Yoga with kids is also a lot of fun and if your kids like yoga, or have never done it before, I suggest you try out one of Desert Song's kids' classes!  They have a weekly class, Mommy & Me, for babies newborn to crawling, and then a weekly kids' class for kids agest 4-10 and a teen/tween class for teens ages 10-16 (check their schedule for when these weekly classes are offered).  Then, monthly, they have classes on Saturdays for kids ages crawling to 5 years old.  Check out their Events page to see what class is being offered when and to sign up online!

I will do another post on yoga for kids, and why I think your child would have fun in a yoga class - coming soon!
