Can you tell me why yoga and meditation are important during pregnancy?
I very much loved Gurmukh's book on prenatal yoga. I have a four and a half year old son who is very intelligent and sensitive, sometimes very emotional, and he has a hard time relaxing to go to sleep at night. I have a meditiation practice and would like to begin teaching him some simple meditation also. Do you have any suggestions? I would also like to eventually be able to include him in some of my daily practice time, I am just unsure of how to begin.
I have a new 8 week old and am a first time mom. I was doing yoga and meditating pre-natal but now I can't find the time. Any suggestions or is this something I have to put off for a few months? I sure feel like I could use yoga and meditation in my life right now.
