- What's his name? (meaning, the person on the video)
- Why isn't he talking?
- What's the music for?
- What's a strap? Why do you have a strap and he doesn't?
- Why does he keep saying "good" all the time?
- Is this my left leg, or my right leg?
Doing yoga with her has been a whole new experience for me. First, I have had to re-evaluate my definition of my own yoga practice, and assume that it will be a shared practice at least some of the time. And also, in this case, that the exercise is not necessarily the point - the quality time with my daughter is at least as important as my own practice.
I spend so much time actively parenting her - getting her to and from day care, making sure she brushes her teeth, talking her down from tantrums, and so on. So it's really lovely to be able to just hang out with her, and to do something we both enjoy. I know she won't always want to do yoga with me, and I also know that there will be a time that she will be actively embarrassed by the fact that I do yoga in the livingroom. So I am making the most of this time that we do have, every single minute of it.
And besides. She has invented a new pose. When I lie on my back in Savasana at the end of the practice, she lies on top of me and we put our arms around each other. She calls it the "hug pose."
Why would I not want to do yoga, when this is what happens at the end of it?
