327: and i'm back

life caught up with me recently and while i have been practicing, i haven't been posting. the best practices i've had recently have been with my daughter, V. she is nearly 6 and approaches yoga very energetically. i recently gave my girls a new yoga deck which has game ideas and partner poses as well as traditional poses. one sunday, they played and play with the cards for hours.

then, while my little one napped, V and i laid out a sequence and she went through the whole practice with me.

after we finished our little practice, V showed off her fierce dragon:

now, we're going to peanut yoga with a local instructor on sundays. V loves it. we also learned peaceful gorilla at last week's class which has come in handy as my girls have gotten over excited lately. we just do peaceful gorilla for a couple breaths and start again. parenting with yoga isn't too bad.
