Strength for Motherhood

by tanyafindlayupdated on June 3, 2019October 17, 20181 Comment on Strength for Motherhood

Having taught yoga classes for nearly a decade, exercised all throughout my pregnancy, I assumed I would jump right back into working out after giving birth (once I received the official go-ahead from my Midwife). But truth be told, I was cleared long before I actually started truly working out. The months following my daughter’s …

  • Desperate times call for deep self care measures! ๐Ÿง˜โ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿ’ฆ๐ŸŒฑ I hope you're tending to your heart, your mind, your body, and your spirit - amidst all the chaos swirling around us. ๐Ÿ™ @luxxehonor gifted me some much needed Immunity Boost roll-on & Stress Relief spritz, which has helped me find more uplifting thoughts, aid with my bouts of insomnia, and offer me grounding/calming properties... It's basically a warm hug packaged in spray form! ๐Ÿ˜˜ But did you know they're also offering several complimentary classes online? You can find them on Vimeo: from virtual yoga to strength and meditation! โค๏ธ *For a limited time, use code: MOMMAPRANA20 to save 20% on LUXXE HONOR products (including their covid-19 grade sanitizer) which can be shipped & for local addresses, doorstep -no contact- delivery OR even curbside pickup is an option! ๐Ÿ‘ #StaySafe #StaySanitized #StayWell ๐ŸŒฟ #LuxxeHonorPartner

  • Thank You @float416 for gifting us this BAG 'O FUN (a.k.a. balloons in a bag)! ๐ŸŽˆ We've been coming up with unique ways to entertain the wee one these past few weeks, but sometimes going back to basics is best! ๐Ÿ‘ A huge bag full of balloons, in various sizes and colors, delivered straight to your door (local only).

  • 10yrs ago I taught my very 1st public yoga class... 2wks ago I taught my last (at least for now, while we all practice safe social distancing). โ–ช๏ธ During these past 2wks, I've felt the entire spectrum of emotions, sometimes within minutes. I'mย working on holding space for these feelings and then letting them go. If I can offer you any advice it's not to numb yourself, but also try to not let it consume your day. โ–ช๏ธ The biggest thing I've learned from my decade of teaching yoga & one that also feels relevant to the world we now live in (amidst the novel coronavirus), is that changeย is constant AND necessary. Inย order to grow, we need to evolve. This is true in many waysโ€”when we change jobs, experience pregnancy, throughout a marriage, & of course during this pandemic. โ–ช๏ธ There's a reason Harvard Medical School recommends yoga, meditation & controlled breathing to address anxiety issues right now! Yoga isย a dance of dealing with what is, and allowing yourself to fully experience whatever youโ€™re experiencing right here (in the moment). In life, we often resist what we donโ€™t like or donโ€™t want to do. Being on your mat is a safe opportunity to see whatโ€™s on the other side of that. โ–ช๏ธ But the benefits of yoga are so much more encompassing than just physical. Yoga is largelyย a mind practice. We use the physical to keep us limber & strong, so that we can better sit with our minds. Through this awareness and stilling of the mind, we come to know our โ€œtrue self.

  • I asked the wee one what season it was and she said Red, then I asked what her favorite color was and she said 3... ๐Ÿ‘€ Since my yoga teaching skills aren't exactly transferring to that of my new title as Pre-K teacher ๐Ÿ˜œ, I've enlisted the help of a certain ladybug๐Ÿž (or ladybird - as she calls it ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง) We've been discovering shapes, learning how to tell time and even encountering a few friendly animals along the way, thanks to the World of Eric Carle Magna-Tile story sets (exclusively sold at @Target)! ๐ŸŽฏ Each set features a beloved @worldericcarle story deconstructed on @magnatiles pieces to develop essential skills in math, reading, language arts and science! ๐Ÿ“š Each set also comes with lesson plans for teachers! ๐Ÿ™ How's your new role as a homeschool teacher going? โค๏ธ #targetexclusive #WECTarget #TheVeryGrouchyLadybug

  • #InternationalDayofHappiness โ˜บ๏ธ There are so many reasons to be happy. Not because everything is good, but because we choose to see the good in everything. โค๏ธ We could all use a little more happiness in our lives... especially now! And since the best way to spread happiness is to share it with others, I'll let you in on our happy place... the ball pit! ๐Ÿคธโ€โ™€๏ธ This thing has evolved from a pack-n-play version (swipe) to a blow-up pool (swipe again) to our recent washable foam pit (one last swipe)... a much needed upgrade, after ๐Ÿˆ claws had a go at some of the fun herself! ๐Ÿ™ What/Where is your happy place?
