A Beamingly Brilliant Class of Yoga
Family Yoga this week was a real hit with our Big Buddhas and Baby Buddhas!
There were alligators, and our alligators swam under the bridge, a Warrior came to save us and we showed him our flying hearts.
We did some team work and built a bus, we all sang Wheels on the Bus which was enjoyed by adults and children alike!
At the end of the class the children have learnt over the last four weeks to make burritos with their mats and bring them back to me.....because I love burrito's :)
This week our story for relaxation time was 'A Kiss Like This'. A lovely story about a little lion who loved to be kissed and was kissed by everyone from a monkey to a parrot to a snake. In the end when he was tired all he wanted was a kiss from his mummy."
It is our final week of the course next week with this particular group. We will really miss them and truly hope we will see them again soon.
Until next week..........
Keep on Beaming : )))))))

Progress!!!
Week 4 of one of the family yoga classes I teach at and its finally clicked! Woo hoo!!!!! The mums and Kids were all 'really' taking part and it was fabulous to see. Even one of the children who is such a live wire and does nt have much concentration span, momentarily held the poses. She was also the one who could tell me poses we did last week.
Looking forward to seeing them all again next week as it was a lovely class and to see what you are teaching begins to make a difference is what makes my job so worthwhile.

Mum's gaining the confidence to exercise
We are in the process of setting up more classes, not only for children, but also for families so parents and carers can join in the fun with their children.
Often after having children some mums find it difficult to get back into exercise. With Family Yoga, it is an easy way in. Over the time I have been running some of these courses in the Children's Centres what I have realised is that mum's have come to the classes with the children for an activity to do. They have done the yoga with their kids and realised they have really enjoyed themselves. Mums begin to make comments like "I could do with coming on my own without my kids..."
This is great to hear, that my Family Yoga class gives them the confidence to start to exercise again. Exercise is so important and as we live in a nation where obesity is an ever rising problem we really need to do all we can to keep ourselves healthy. If you ask any obese person not one of them will say they planned to get so big and many did not even realise how big until they get a wake up call. I am not saying for one minute all mums are going to end up obese, this is not my point at all, but I think we all need to make sure we are doing all we can to ensure both ourselves and our children are living healthy lifestyles.
We are all guilty of having many poor eating habits, or driving to the shop two minutes away when we could have easily walked etc..... Life is prescious, we need to do all we can to ensure we enjoy life and stay healthy.
Well done for taking that first step, BB x
