good night yoga

while browsing a local kids consignment shop, i came across this book good night yoga. i've been wanting to get the booys involved in yoga more, since they seem interested, so as soon as i saw this book i knew i just had to have it.

we decided that monday nights would be the best to do the yoga practice with them, since we will have more time to prepare for their nighttime routine (it's our day off). the other night i got the book out, rolled out our yoga mats, turned on the diffuser, placed some crystals in the room, put on some yoga meditation music and we got started.

we went through each page, focusing on the pose through five breaths; then at the end, we read through the little story that is featured in the book. once we read through that, we recapped three of oliver's favorite poses and ended with some quiet meditation. as you can see, joseph wasn't too interested in doing what we were (mostly because he had his bnb on already), but he was interested nonetheless, and that's a start! perhaps next time we will leave his bnb off so his interest can be piqued a little more.

if anyone is interested, they do have a good morning yoga book available, if morning yoga is more your jam. i would get it, but we all like to sleep in and then rush to get ready and out the door, so no time in the morning for us. but i highly suggest this book if you're wanting to get your kids interested in yoga, or if you've been needing a good excuse to get back into yoga yourself! this might hold you accountable! (we all know this is why i purchased this book!)
