Mom&Me Yoga


Baby C & I attended our first mommy & me yoga class. Not sure what I expected, and why I was expecting anything at all is beyond me, however it was very different than I imagined. There was only one other parent beside me, with a child the same age as my little gus gus. The class began with warm-ups that didn't include the baby (and it took up most of the class time) and then we did about 3-4 poses with the baby towards the end of the class. The mom beside me broke up the pace by feeding her child and changing his diaper during class, lol.
To their credit, the staff was really great and the facilities were super clean (and everyone knows how I am about CLEANLINESS!!!), so that was a plus. I just felt in the end, like it was the sort of thing that exists solely to appease moms and their need to get out and "mingle" with their babies and other moms; and less of a workout or experience to enjoy with your child. Which is great if you just want to get out for a bit, but I could probably just run through the few poses right here at home and save my money. Ugh! Decisions, decisions...

I did wake up with some slight soreness in my abs however, so the poses do work, haha! Guess that counts for something!
