Namaste Baby

This week Baby M and I started Mommy & Me Yoga classes at a small studio in Westchester. There were a few poses we did while holding our babies, but the majority of the class assumed that your baby would lie quietly on a blanket in front of your mat as you did poses over him. This is really not Baby M's style-- he likes to be carried all the time and isn't one for staying quiet when he's not getting his way. I spent a lot of the class bouncing him and watching the other student (it was a VERY small class) make her way through Downward Dog, Triangle, etc. For awhile the receptionist and then the instructor held Baby M so that I could get a little exercise too. It didn't seem like much of a workout, but I guess it was enough because the next day my muscles were quite sore. There are 4 more classes left, hopefully Baby M will find his inner peace over the next month.
