YOGA TIP

I've been thinking a lot lately about those "magic yoga moments." I confess that I feel like a failure in terms of being a yoga mom most of the time. But every now and then, something clicks... and there's a moment between my daughter and me. And it's magical.

Like the moment when she spontaneously taught me a new breath she’d made up at bedtime to help her sleep. Or when she grabbed our yoga cards and made a new yoga pose game, incorporating three poses to make up a new pose. Or when she told me to be "take a deep breath" when she could see me getting frantic.

So, I'm curious, what are some of YOUR magic yoga moments?

Because we all know that we keep practicing yoga to feel those magic moments in our own practice. Like when you suddenly cry in Savasana or are inspired by a new idea when in a Warrior Pose.

My magic yoga moment this week was when my daughter got out our third deck of yoga poses and just started trying out the more challenging poses—totally unprovoked and completely on her own. And then she asked me to take a picture of her (see below). I was stunned. She tried each of the poses in the whole deck!

SHARE your magic yoga moments by replying to this email or adding your comments on Facebook here. I’m going to choose a random person to send a deck of yoga pose cards as a thank you for sharing your stories. We're all in this together!

NEW ZOO YOGA BOOK

Summer is a great time to visit the zoo, and if you’re lucky enough to have one nearby, you get to experience a wide variety of animals both exotic and native to your location.

The inspiration for my new book, Justine and Joey at the Zoo, came from experiencing the zoo through the eyes of my child.

I hope you enjoy this new story and the connection I have made to the animals and our own movements. Have fun acting out the poses, making animal noises, and discussing how to respect and cherish all animals.

See JUSTINE AND JOEY AT THE ZOO in paperback or PDF version here.
