Alice has been coming to my class for months now. She is adorable and so social! She carries a little purse and as everyone comes into class and sets up their mats she makes the rounds - greeting all new comers. When someone came in after class had started - her little head popped around as 'who's that?' echoed through the room. Off she went to greet the new friend who had just entered.
One important thing to know about crawlers and toddlers doing yoga is that they imitate us. If you are a momma you have already experienced this I am sure! So as we do our yoga ALilce will begin doing what we are doing...as we rub our hands together to tune in...there is Alice standing in the middle of the room with her purse, big smile on her face, rubbing her hands together!
So her Mom and I were visiting after class yesterday and she mentioned that Alice now insists the family tune in before eating a meal. So there they are rubbing their hands together singing Ong Namo Guru Dev Namo (I call on the creative consciousnees of the universe, I call on the divine teacher) before enjoying their meal.
There's yoga for ya!!!

Face to face
In class today there was a cutie pie name Hollin. She is about 17 months old and has been coming to my class since she could crawl. Toward the end of class Mommas always do a meditation before savasana (final relaxation)...so today we were doing Sa-Ta-Na-Ma and I was sitting on a couple of bolsters stacked in front of the door (to prevent wee ones from escaping). I had my eyes closed as we went through the mantra again and again. At some point I felt a little tickle on my leg..... I opened my eyes and there was Hollin about one inch from my face - with a huge smile on her face. How sweet is that?
