August 2011 - Beach Yoga

I forgot to mention that Mommy discovered yoga in July. It all happened while I was doing a workshop for work. It was something geared towards helping kids handle stress during deployments. The organizers had someone come in and do yoga with the kids. It was amazing to see 30 kids get their mats, get to floor, LISTEN, and get into poses. I thought, I want to teach kids and families this. I want to do this myself. I want Olivia to do this. I mentioned it to my co-worker who is a yoga teacher and she told me about an upcoming yoga teacher training on island. SIGN ME UP! So I did. But I figured I better start going to some yoga classes if I was going to be a teacher. So I did. And one class was offered at the beach. Yoga. Beach. Perfect. It was a beautiful day, so I brought my camera to snap some shots after the class. I love the story they tell.

Walking down to the beach, with this view, it was easy to relax:
