I reali...Eevory = "the seven-month-old" <br /><br />I realized when I read my comment that was kind of confusing. Mia is the two-year-old and she sleeps in her own room now.jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186926876714232083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730033226217547606.post-59840169051688553102009-09-03T18:28:46.854-07:002009-09-03T18:28:46.854-07:00Liz, I tend to hang out for longer than 5 breaths ...Liz, I tend to hang out for longer than 5 breaths in the postures because I'm stalling. Oh, please no, not another vinyasa! Oh, was that five breaths? I lost count. Maybe I should do a couple more just to be sure. <br /><br />Sophia, you are so right. If I'm going to get serious about my practice, I'm going to have to start getting up before the kids. Eevory used to wake up at five, but she's started to sleep until 6. If she keeps it up, I think I could practice at 5. I really don't want to get up any earlier than that. (Well, I don't want to, but I eventually may have to) <br /><br />The seven-month-old is still cosleeping with us, so I'll just need to figure out a way to sneak out of bed at 5 without waking her up. I'll also need to figure out a way to wake myself up without waking her up. She usually can sense when I've left the bed and wakes up howling. I imagine that she is wailing, "I've lost my boob! Where has my boob gone?"jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03186926876714232083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730033226217547606.post-61755421637812823232009-09-03T08:13:18.373-07:002009-09-03T08:13:18.373-07:00Sophia's on Jen's blog! wheee!!!

I found your blog through Liz.
I just wanted...Hi. I found your blog through Liz. <br />I just wanted to congratulate you for trying to get back your ashtanga practice after kids. I too have had to restart my practice twice after my last two kids. I have three! I have to admit making it to your mat is the first challenge. But I do have a small bit of advice to share. I know how frustrating it is to try to practice with kids around especially when they are so young but could you try to practice in the morning before they wake up? I don't know how early they get up and if they sleep in cribs, but that is how I managed to get my practice in. Also when you get up before them it starts to become YOUR time. Then you can use their nap time to get in a quick nap yourself! <br />This is what worked for me and still does. My kids are a little bigger now and I mange to get to a shala to practice but on the days I can't I'm up at 5:00am getting my practice in.<br />Anyway good luck and keep it up. The beginning is always the hardest! Stick with it and it will be amazing again!Sophiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03352890652884566453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8730033226217547606.post-62541780280015505842009-09-02T20:06:32.169-07:002009-09-02T20:06:32.169-07:00oh my god... video. Those are hilarious! I love ho...oh my god... video. Those are hilarious! I love how Mia starts to do something (twirl, jump) and you can tell she's thinking, "hey, this is kind of fun, I think I'll keep doing it!". The cheering is awesome.<br /><br />One of my secret tricks for home practice is to tell myself I'll only hold postures for 4 breaths, therefore shortening my practice. I usually forget to do it within a posture or so and end up doing the whole deal, no cheating!<br /><br />Not a fan of Navasana either. I can do it, but it's boring. ha ha!!Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11185066123168375209noreply@blogger.com
