Pre-natal Yoga

End June I started to teach per-natal yoga which I am certified for.
 
I am still teaching it now.

Some of the mothers are already at a very advance stage of 36 months, impressive and they still go for classes. 

Unlike normal yoga, pre natal yoga is slow and rather relaxing.

It's really to mentally prepare the mothers for the day. I concentrate a lot on breathing and meditation.

The postures are meant to strengthen the pelvic region and genitalia region and open the hip flexors.

When I was pregnant I never went for any yoga as it was not popular then. Actually I laid off exercise.

But these mothers are pretty fit. I am totally impressed!

It's very satisfying sharing with them my experience. On their faces I see unknown expectation.

I hope I helped them.



Rainbow Kids Yoga

Over dinner some of my Yoga friends brought up the topic of Kids Yoga.

Some of them had gone for the course conducted by Rainbow Kids and they were singing praises for the course and the instructor.

I was convinced this was the course I wanted to attend and get certified for.

So I signed upnand looked forward to the day. The course was in May 2014.

The instructor was exactly what my friends had described. She was high energy, charismatic and generous.

Over the 3 full days, we had so much fun and gained so much. Kids Yoga is indeed different from teaching adults. The course prepared us for all the different scenarios to expect from kids.

It was a good 3 days. Now, time to play!
