Little Lotus Mom & Baby Yoga

We are excited to offer our Little Lotus Mom & Baby Yoga class starting in September at The Glebe Neighborhood Activity Group (www.gnag.ca) on Tuesday mornings from 10:30-11:30. Regain strength, flexibility and stamina as you bond with your baby in a supportive and welcoming environment. Tone and length your muscles, strengthen your posture, relax and rejuvenate, relieve tension in the upper body, and safely rebuild core strength. Enjoy special time with your baby, either holding your baby in your arms, leaning against your leg, on your front, sitting in your lap or resting on a blanket. You are asked to please bring a blanket for your baby /toddler to sit on and a few favourite toys. Special time will be made for the little ones to enjoy their own yoga and bond with mom through touch, movement and massage.

This class has been advertised as 6 months to walking (up to 23 months), but newborns are welcome as well! Our goal is to create a welcoming environment for new and veteran mothers and their little ones. This is an informal atmosphere where babes are welcome to lay on their own mat or crawl and walk around. Its about creating a community of support and fun for mothers and young children while sharing the wonderful practice of yoga.

Yummy Clothing

As a busy mom you spend most of your day caring for your children, preparing meals, doing laundry, organizing playdates and activities, along with a hundred other small details which must be carried through to ensure your day is as smooth as possible.

But do you feel comfortable, chic and yummy in the clothes you are wearing throughout the day?

As a busy caregiver to two young, vibrant and busy children and a yoga and wellness instructor I know the importance of purchasing clothes that can be worn from the fitness room to the coffee shop, groceries, playdates, swim lessons and poopy diapers and spit up along the way. Needless to say not only do these clothes need to be appropriate for your day but easily washable and look good at all times!

I am sharing with you my top must have clothing items for travelling, day to day wear and to the fitness or yoga studio.

1. Lululemon's Jesus pant. These come in spectacular colours, with Fall colours coming out very soon! Dress these pants up for a night on the town, to playgroup and to class!

2. TranquiliT wrap dress. Wrap it over your workout clothes and you are ready for the day! Wonderful fun dress that can be worn with heels for at night, or flip flops at the playground!

3. Lululemon Parachute Bag. Okay, have to admit weekends and night time this bag is all about me. Inside are my car keys, make up bag, change of clothes after fitness class and ipod. Plus there is still room for all my books, planner and other items! Daytime this spacious bag turns fills up with pull ups, wipes, juice, water bottles, snacks upon snacks (at the end of everyday there are always goldfish crackers in the bottom somewhere) and other paraphernalia for swim lessons, gymnastics camp, and days at the wading pool. This bag can hold EVERYTHING and MORE!

4. TranquiliT cardi shawl is an all in one master piece! Wear it soooo many fun and chic ways for various looks. Dress it up for evening, throw it on when you are chilled at your kids soccer game or snuggle in it with your little one. Fab colours available!

5. Okay, I am sure most people have this next article of clothing covered as I have seen them everywhere. If you don't have a Lululemon hoodie sweater you are missing out on one of the warmest, most comfortable and snuggly sweater out there. With a variety of colours it can be hard to choose just one!

So there it is, my top 5 items that I cannot live without in my closet! Have any I have missed and you would like to share? Please leave a comment!

You can visit TranquiliT at www.tranquilit.com and Lululemon at www.Lululemon.com or at any of their store locations.
