I call out “Downward Facing Dog” and Ollie does it! So cute! I started doing “Itsy Bitsy Yoga” (a book by Helen Garabedian – given to me by a friend) with Ollie this week and I can’t believe I waited this long to begin. I was obviously doing some of the activities throughout the day as they can be as simple as jumping your baby up and down, but I hadn’t made a time to sit down and do a few poses together on the yoga mat.

Half Moon assist. Lovely Emily! It’s amazing to look back on a decision or event in your life and think, “Did I really just do that?” That’s kind of the feeling I’m having this morning after graduating from Yoga Teacher Training last night. #surreal Ensley had talked about doing her TT (“teacher training”) and it seemed like a natural next step for me as well.
