Each week at co-op, the girls participate in a 40-minute yoga class.  As they participate in their classes, I sit on the side-lines watching them with a smile on my face.  It’s very entertaining watching 3-7 year olds doing yoga poses but more than that, it is very good for them physically, mentally, and emotionally.

As I’ve watched them each week, I’ve have had a growing desire to participate.   40-minutes of stretching, breathing, more stretching, more breathing and relaxing my mind, body and spirit.  Ahhhhhh!!!!

You see, I’m not very good about giving myself a break during the week.  In fact, I’m not very good about taking a break during the month.  In fact, I had my first break in 7 months this past Saturday evening when I went out with my sister-in-law to see a show.  No kids.  No housework.  Just some me time away from my normal everyday life.  Like I said, I’m not very good about giving myself a break so a little yoga each week sounds pretty good to me. 

However, it doesn’t do me any good to just sit and watch my girls participate in yoga while wishing I was participating too.  So tonight I took the first step and now have a membership at a local yoga studio. For about 1 1/2 hours, a couple of times a week, I am going to give myself a little break to stretch, breath, relax and take care of me.  Ahhhhh!!!!!
