Toddler Yoga

My daughter loves to watch me do yoga and try out the different poses, but eventually, usually after a few moments she gets bored with it and would rather use my strange positioning as a jungle gym. Shortly after she started doing this I found the most wonderful Yoga channel on Youtube. It’s called Cosmic Kids Yoga and it’s absolutely fantastic! The instructor Jamie, is a wonderfully cool blend of Mary Poppins and that perfectly balanced “yoga” frame of mind. She’s keeps the sessions fun and exciting while working real yoga poses into the stories and giving tips on posture and positioning. My daughter loves it, and honestly so do I.

Weekend Reading: Hemalayaa Bell, Tiny Buddah and Some Swag

After having my daughter I was eager to get back into shape. I’ve always been a fan of workout videos and love to do Yoga from the comfort of my own living room. I checked out a Fitness DVD from my local library just because it looked fun and ended up falling in love with this absolutely beautiful woman named Hemalayaa Bell. Not only was she a charismatic fitness instructor, she also was a sort of spiritual leader and I deeply needed that at the time. The DVD was The Bollywood Dance Workout and I have since purchased my own copy and do it about once a week. That’s why when she announced she was offering FREE online classes through the month of February I jumped at the opportunity to join her and signed up for every single one!

If you don’t know about Tiny Buddha now is the time to head on over and check it out. It’s a wonderful web site full of uplifting and thought provoking blogs to get you through your toughest days. I used to spend hours reading through the compilations of post about Happiness, Peace, Love, Challenges and Change. And I always came away with a sunnier disposition and a new found optimism for the universe.

And finally to wrap it up this weekend I’d like to take a moment to talk about SwagBucks! SwagBucks is my new internet guilty pleasure and if you’re not familiar with it… you should be. Basically SwagBucks is a site compiled of special offers, online surveys and lots of other way to earn SWAG POINTS which you can then trade in for all sorts of gifts and prizes or my personal favorite AMAZON GIFT CARDS! And the best part is it’s perfectly legitimate, safe and Free (plus they reward you for things you already do like search the internet). So if you’re interested in turning your free time into Gift cards you should Click Here and sign up today! (did I mention I made 10 dollars in less than a week? It may not sound like a lot, but that’s a whole 10 bucks more than I had and all I had to do was fill out a few surveys here and there)

Have a Great Weekend Everyone!
