On Saturday morning my body felt like it had been through the wringer so after our sacred Saturday morning German Pancake breakfast I told the girls we were going upstairs to do yoga. I am going to make a new exercise video called Mommy Yoga. The setting will be a yoga mat sandwiched between a doll house and pile of blocks, with small figures and toys scattered around it haphazardly. As you transition smoothly among the poses you alternately become:
a bridge for your kids to go under
a stool for them to sit on
a table for a tea party
a slide which they climb up and scoot down
a cave they must explore
and a monkey bar for them to swing on
The gentle sound of breezes and chanting will be periodically interrupted with sharp screams and squeals of delight. The aromatherapy designed to increase flexibility and clear the mind is a combination of chamomile, jasmine and dirty diaper waiting for your next available moment. And the relaxation and breathing exercise at the end...will simply be omitted until further notice.
