Still playing catch up for #octoberyogaspice with @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl and @aloyoga. I taught today and my first bodywork session since baby 🌿. It feels great to be out and working and sad to be away from the boys all at the same time! This week I'll be teaching Mysore on Wednesday, a special Lion Series workshop on Friday and Guided Ashtanga on Sunday. All classes @tapasyogashala in Rock Island. But for now it's time for Monday home practice 😘. #igyogachallenge #yogashala #pigeon #hero #lion #lionseries #vinyaskrama #ashtanga #ashtangamama #ashtangalove #ashtangi #asana #yogamom #yogahomeawayfromhome #findbalance

Me: You have to at least go put undies on if you want to be in the yoga video. Mini: why? Me: Kids can't be naked in videos. Mini: Why can't kids be naked in videos? Me: It's not legal. You just can't. Mini: Dad!!! Mom said I need underwear. 😂😂😂 #octoberyogaspice @beachyogagirl @kinoyoga @aloyoga #igyogachallenge #yogahome #yogamom #yoga #strikeapose #kidyoga #adorbs

A year ago this pose would have been easy. Today, four weeks postpartum, I can't yet lift me feet off the floor. Try as I might, no air is there. :-/ it will be back and until then I'll just #domypractice #octoberyogaspice #lolasana #liftip #mamagetyofloatback #yogamom #postpartum #postpartumfitness #betrue #doyourpractice #rainbowroom

Day 5 of #octoberyogaspice is sukasana. I decided on the sukasana I spend the most time in, playing with the kids on the living room rug. It strikes me a bit odd to pose and photograph oneself in meditation. I just couldn't bring myself to do it. One of the many mysteries of Instagram I guess. #yogamom #yogahome #easy #crisscrossapplesauce #dinosaurs #bepresent #bereal #momlife @kinoyoga @beachyogagirl @aloyoga is it possible I'm still wearing the same clothes!!! @superlovetees

I missed the first day of #octoberyogaspice with @beachyogagirl @kinoyoga @alo so this is my morning make-up post. No time for resting in child's pose. It's a babywearing, book reading kind of morning. #babywearing #yogahome #yogamom #morning #babes #yoga #iguogachallenge

I've learned and relearned primary several times now. I'm very familiar with how to learn jumpbacks, jump throughs and handstands after many new beginnings. Today I caught balance in this handstand twice. Once during practice and once during post practice insta time. No setback is too great to start again. #yesyoucan #sayyes #mamagetyofloatback #inversion #inversionjunkie #questforthepress #handstand #handstandlove

Slowly, slowly starting to feel rooted again. #headstand #inversion #inversiondiversion #yogahome #yogamama #homepractice #doyourpractice #kingofasana

More #postpartum #handstand play I had only 20 minutes to practice but I'm grateful for that. Can't do you full practice??? It doesn't matter! Get in your mat!Salutes, hip openers and handstand play are just fine for me today. #yoga #yogahome #yogamama #inversion #inversiondiversion #homepractice #rainbowroom #doyourpractice

My first day back on the mat #postpartum. Slow si salutations and then a very long rest. I've been waiting months to touch the floor with my legs together!!!! #asana #ashtangamama #ashtanga #ashtangayoga #homepractice #salute #sunsalutation #rainbowroom

This photo is from yesterday's practice at #40weeks4days. It was a rough one but today was a bit better. My routine now is salutes and a few standing, kneeling back and pelvis stabilizers, shoulder stretching and strengthening, a few seated, backbends and then a rest. It takes about 25-30 minutes and then I rest for 20 minutes or so. As unmotivated as I am, I have to admit it feels better when I'm done and that's reason enough to keep going! #practiceon #vinyasathroughlife #prenatalyoga #waitingisthehardestpart #rainbowroom #homepractice #prenatal #preggo #doyourpractice

40 weeks and one day, #nailedit.

It's mini #2's due date and there no signs of labor, so I did a short practice. 😕 #preggo #prenatal #prenatal #prenatalyoga #salute #salutation #homepractice #yogahome #yogamama #asana #flow #igyoga

I thought this was a wonderful moment to capture. It may be a long time before our two mats get put out at the same time again. At 39weeks and 1 day, who knows what might happen next! #rainbowroom #homepractice #yogahome #yoganerds #yogamama #yoga #39weeks #prenatal #pregnancy #selfpractice

Truth be told, at 38 weeks and 1 day I had very little will to practice today. Monday's are kinda fun though because I get a chance to gauge where I'm at and make a sort of practice plan for the week based on how things go. I started with salutes and took it from there. I cut a bit more out today and practiced for about 35 minutes. Drop backs are still possible, amazingly! Oh and thanks @evan78 for putting may out each day. Makes it just a little easier. Practice on!!! #prenatalyoga #practice #practiceon #preggo #prenatal #prenatalyoga #dropback #backbend #wheel #38weeks #yogamama #rainbowroom #homepractice
