Yoga mamas?

[lotusblossom9]

I'd love to connect with other mamas who practice yoga. If everything goes well, next month I will be starting my 200 hour yoga teacher training.

Any yoginis out there?

yup! but our tribe mostly hangs out in the fitness and weight management forum.

I'm looking to start a 200 hour teacher training as well! I'd love to know what format your training will be, as i'm still deciding since it's such a big investment.

Im starting in june for my instructor course im really excited, love yoga and the peace I feel with it. namaste

[zoebird]

to find a good course, it's a good idea to go with your influences.

who is your teacher? how was s/he trained? do they offer a training?

if all else fails, i really love both kripalu and anusara trainings. they are solid, well rounded trainings good for anyone of any style. higly adaptable to what you like to do and how you might want to teach.

Congrats on your teacher training plans! I have no training but I do about 1.5 hours of kundalini yoga every day.

I am moving this to the fitness forum.

I'm here too...
I have been into yoga for a long time-on and off since high school when i got into it because one of my friend's moms taught and they had a studio in the house. my friends and i would meet there and do classes before school. I always enjoyed it over the years and dabbled in different styles whenever, but never regularly.
Just last spring I realized that there was a lot of audio podcasts out there that made it possible to do yoga at home without a babysitter! since then i have been soooo into it. I practice almost every day and feel actually like i am changing and expanding myself physically and spiritually. it grounds me and makes me come alive every time i get onto the mat. most of the podcasts i can get on itunes that are challenging enough to get me to surrender something are Baptiste trained teachers. When i do take classes it is usually Anusara. I know that Baron Baptiste's yoga is controversial, but I love it. do any of you know why it is so controversial? I don't see how it is so different than other types like anusara, kripalu or traditional ashtanga. I'd love to hear what you all think. I love being pushed to my fullest edge and the peace that comes after a full 90 minutes or more when pigeon, plow, headstand or savasana is a true, deep, blissful meditation.

Anyway, glad to find this thread...

Here too. I've been praticing yoga for over 10 years, but mostly on my own and sporadically. Recently I've returned to the mat. It's a struggle to carve time out for a daily practice though with a 3yo at home with me

I need a new yoga mat. Any suggestions mamas?

yoga mat

I got one from Sports Authority and it was sooo slippery. After I washed it in the washing machine it was ok. I know someone that got one at Target and liked it.

I have a cold and a stomach virus. I'm too tired to do yoga. I tried the other day and was exhausted after 10 minutes. I miss it! I like this show on fit tv called Namaste Yoga.
