Sometimes you have to change plans!
When I started my journey to becoming a yoga instructor, it was last June and Justin and I were training for a marathon! We traveled a lot and really packed in a full summer before Justin went back to school in the fall. It was awesome. I fit yoga in here and there but it did not get my full attention.
Well I'm still working on my certification hours, and wouldn't you know it, we're going to have a baby!!! This halts my yoga progress in some ways but enhances it in others. One of my main goals in becoming a yoga teacher is to teach prenatal yoga, and what better way to get experience in that than going through it yourself??
I am a little sad thinking about all the beautiful twists, inversions, and savasanas I will miss out on from now until July, not to mention how badly I want to push myself in a good flow or enjoy some hot yoga during the cold winter months, BUT I am really excited to see how it affects my mind, body, and spirit as I embark on this amazing journey of becoming a mom. I'm taking it as an opportunity. My whole life I have thought about what it might feel like to be pregnant and now it's here. Holy cow!! It's such a blessing to have a healthy pregnancy, and I want to do my part in making sure the ideal conditions are met to grow a little person. Isn't the human body incredible??
