Sat Mom: Who Am I?
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2012/07/who-am-i_01.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Sunday, July 1, 2012. As women in our society we pride ourselves on being strong, competent, and go-getters (at least some of us do). We make a plan and then make it happen. Then comes pregnancy. This week I met with a new mom (19 weeks) who has a strong Vinyasa practice. We sat down to talk about.what do I do now? What is happening to me? Why can't I do what I used to do? What should I change? Moms have shared with me:. The constant throughout life is breathing.

Sat Mom: May 2012

Reflections from the mat and other places! Monday, May 28, 2012. And they look cute on too! If you have been to any of my postnatal yoga classes you have probably heard me talk about baltic amber teething necklaces. Here is a link to a great article that explains the science and use of amber teething necklaces - http:/ www.amberartisans.com/amtene15.html. Most mommas that have gotten them and had their kid wear one have reported less drool and better disposition while teething. Seems it is worth a try.

Sat Mom: And then it happens.....
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2013/05/and-then-it-happens.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Wednesday, May 22, 2013. And then it happens. You 'do' yoga. You have practiced for awhile - maybe years. You practiced during pregnancy and now bring the munchkin with you to class. The practice of yoga can offer relief from physical body tension and fatigue. Did you know how much motherhood would shift your physical body AFTER the baby was born? Even if it is briefly. And when you do the most amazing things happen. And then it Happens.

Sat Mom: Flying by the seat of your pants
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2012/08/flying-by-seat-of-your-pants.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Wednesday, August 15, 2012. Flying by the seat of your pants. The intricacies of breastfeeding are astounding! I think in our culture we lead women down a path that breastfeeding is 'natural'. You just put the baby up there and they will know what to do. Of course - if you know me you know I think the 4th trimester is more surprising than pregnancy or even birth. Recently, I have been listening to new moms considering the components of their job description.

Sat Mom: November 2012
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2012_11_01_archive.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Wednesday, November 21, 2012. Belly Breathe.that's how you do it. A friend posted this video on her facebook page and I LOVE it! Conscious breathing changes EVERYTHING. I teach kids all different styles of pranayama. And they respond positively. Not only that - they do it on their own! At school, at home and with friends. Sometimes this means we have to learn to breathe! You can do it too! Send me an email. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). I live and love in Austin T...

Sat Mom: October 2011
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2011_10_01_archive.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Thursday, October 6, 2011. As I sat before the circle of wide eyed children singing and gesturing to the tune I saw the beauty and possibilites before me. As we chatted about the meaning of the song - as it is partially in Gurmuhki - I asked them what the teacher within says to them. A blonde headed girl across the room from me says 'that I am a fairy'. Finishing our discussion about our inner teacher we touched on love, kindness toward others and our selves.

Sat Mom: October 2012
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Sunday, October 14, 2012. Why didn't anyone tell me. Becoming a new mom is unbelievable. The ups and the downs - all amplified by the flow of hormones - seem to run our lives during those first months. Why didn't anyone tell me it would be so hard? The thing I wonder is - would you have HEARD it? We don't. And yet it happens. We make it through the pregnancy and the birth.hurrah! Then suddenly, there you are - at home with your baby. Now what? How exhausted I am.

Sat Mom: The Four Gates - a portal to enhancing relaxation
http://satmom.blogspot.com/2013/07/the-four-gates-portal-to-enhancing.html
Reflections from the mat and other places! Saturday, July 13, 2013. The Four Gates - a portal to enhancing relaxation. Tui Na is pediatric chinese massage. From this tradition comes the 'Four Gates' - a massage practice to enhance relaxation, relieve pain, soothe nervousness, and calm sleeplessness. Anyone saying YES YES PLEASE! When they think of their kids? Coconut oil is cooling, olive and apricot oils are nourishing, and sesame oil is recommended for everyone (except those with sesame allergies).
