Yoga With Michelle

Mama’s.. I’ll be teaching prenatal as well as mom and baby yoga starting a week from today at Azalea! Looking forward to seeing you all there!

I didn’t have the chance to do this flow in the morning, but just finished now while the kids are napping! Just what I needed for an afternoon pick-me-up! Thank you Alexandra Mckay!

Some beautiful yoga flows from some of the Azalea Yoga Studio teachers!

Finally got the chance to try this video out while the kiddos napped! Feeling on fire and like I can tackle the second half of the day! thanks Erin Miller!! Loved it!!

My first ever recorded class

I am feeling so relaxed after this flow from Brooke Meredith! Thank you for the amazing video!

What a wonderful way to end a Friday, with some beautiful mommas-to-be in my prenatal yoga class.

Settling into savasana in the mom and baby class this morning at Azalea Yoga Studio. I kind of missed having my little one in class today, poor girl wasn’t feeling well, but this guy sure made up for it! Way too cute!!

Happening this week!

For those of you who may not have seen this on my personal page, this is a lovely article! I cannot express enough how amazing yoga is! Not only for physical ailments, but mental and emotional as well!

I absolutely love teaching and being a part of these classes! I’m so fortunate to be in the presence of so many wonderful mommas and their little bundles of joy each week!

Surviving the FIRST 6 Months After BABY! It will get better, believe me. If you have an easy baby, congratulations. Now stop telling other parents how easy yo...ur baby is. They will only go home and cry in private. On the other hand, if you have a tough, hands-on baby, talk about it to other moms. That is the ONLY way to get the support you need! Call your mom or your sister, get to a mommy yoga group. Seek help if you think you may be suffering from postpartum depression or anxiety, meet up with a friend. Better yet, have the friend come to you. . There are always second chances with parenting. Give yourself a break if you did not read 10 books to your child today, if you worried more than you wanted to, or if you didn’t do something right. There will be times you will plan an outing only to realize you should have stayed in. Accept your mistake’s and move on. You learned something, and you’ll be better at it tomorrow. . There will be a day you think you have it figured out. Then everything will change again, and you’ll need to figure it out again. . Plan something great for the 12-month mark. There are so many ups and downs in the first year of a baby’s life. They are often great and often challenging. It is a big deal because you survived it. Plan a birthday date for you and your partner to celebrate your hard work, and if there’s time, plan a party for your child too! . If your partner takes longer than you do to bond with your baby, don’t worry. It will come in due time. My husband was always loving and in love with our daughter. He played with her and cuddled her every day. But just this month he told me, It was when she started laughing and reacting to me that I felt connected to her. That’s when we bonded. Looking back now, it’s true. . Moms are not magicians, and they do not develop a mom’s intuition overnight.- It takes time- be Patient and Forgiving to YOURSELF! . Embrace the fact that you and your partner parent differently. . Learn to say sorry to your significant other. The moment a child is born, the mother is also born. She never existed before. The woman existed, but the mother, never. A mother is something absolutely new.

Back into the swing of teaching mom And baby classes and absolutely loving it!

Happy belated international yoga day, summer solstice and of coarse, my actual due date for this little one (who decided it’s not time yet). I tried to keep myself busy and missed doing a little yoga, so I made up for that today, with a some sunset yoga. So amazing to be doing yoga outside, enjoying the beautiful weather. I hope everyone is having a wonderful summery weekend!

Although my nesting instincts are in high gear and I’m getting a lot accomplished before the arrival of baby no. 2, I’m really missing my Mom and Baby Yoga classes. It was such a pleasure to be sharing space with some pretty awesome moms and babes! Thank you all so much for making those classes absolutely amazing!
