YogaFit - wellness wednesday

I have started practicing yoga again. I started almost 8 years ago when I was pregnant with my 1st child and have practiced off and on since then. My girls do Yoga Kids ....which is fun and calms them on those days where they are bouncing off of the walls. They do yoga may 1 or 2 days a week....they ENJOY making those silly faces and doing animal poses...but more than anything I enjoy that my girls are doing something TOGETHER and not arguing.
I have wanted to go to a yoga studio for the last couple of years but somehow, with 3 kids....I couldn't find the time for myself. As all of us moms are busy multi-tasking and running kids here and there..we tend to take less and less time for ourselves. In order to maintain some kind of balance in my life, I need to do something for myself but more importantly, BY MYSELF. Yoga is that Something for me. So for the last 2 weeks I have been practicing everyday. I have been doing Yogafit which was created by Beth Shaw and is a hybrid of sorts. "She created her own style that combined fitness moves such as push-ups, sit-ups and squats with traditional yoga postures linked together in a flowing format. To make practice more “user-friendly,” she eliminated Sanskrit names of postures and avoided the ohming and chanting sometimes associated with traditional yoga practices. YogaFit was born" I LOVE IT!
Whatever you do, do it for you.
