Shorter days and shorter attention span

This weeks class was quite nice and I am noticing the shorter evenings by the lack of light in the room towards the end. It's kind of nice doing our end relaxation in the dark.
We focused on clearing the mind which is becoming more and more difficult the bigger this baby gets. As I lie still trying to focus on my breathing, I get kicked from the inside which knocks me right out of my meditative state. Not that I am complaining, it has to be one of the most amazing feelings in the world.

I think my the best part about the class is that it changes for me every week. As I grow, my positions change and  my balance gets slightly worse. It's new every time.

Want to try something new? Body Design is offering a one day "Test Drive Your Fitness Class" this Saturday at the Mount Albert Community Centre. Come by if you can and try out some new and exciting classes.

I hope to see some familiar faces!

Making it your own

So its back at it for my Monday Night Body design Yoga class. This time around I got my mom and mother in law to join! I think they are going to love it.

It was interesting going back to class after a 3 week hiatus. Apparently my belly has grown a little since then. Child's pose has become a little tougher

You can see how this might be difficult with a little one in your belly. But if squat down lower and turn your knees out a bit (as shown in the second image) it makes it a little more comfortable. Not much though.

The great thing about Sandy (instructor) and this Body Design yoga class is that it is really easy to go at your own pace. When you don't feel comfortable doing something, you don't do it. There aren't any intimidating mirrors or a large class size to force you to push yourself.

With little knowledge (and some reading) I have been able to turn this Essential yoga class into my own little Prenatal yoga class.

Back to class!

Here is a list of exciting Fall classes being offered by Body Design in Mount Albert and Uxbridge.
