Yoga Joe

I love Saturday's. Saturday is family day, hanging out all day after Joey is finished with Hockey or Soccer. Which ever sport he is dominating in that morning! Today was hockey day and soccer! We have come to find that this is what fall will be like for us. Busy, busy. So, it's nice that Joey and I can find a little time to do one of our favorite relaxing techniques, yoga. We just unwind in the back yard and practice a few poses. He loves breathing with the zzzzzz sound(bee) and Sthhhhhh sound(snake) and I love being able to bond with my little man over something I already love. Tonight, we busted out yoga mats and blocks and this time, the camera! As we practice I have always wondered what we looked like doing partner poses. So, tonight we put the self-timer to use on my camera! Too funny! What a self timer can capture should often never be seen by anyone! Like Joey and I falling out of a few poses. Although, one pose we have been working on lately- was captured almost perfectly! Double dog is a pose that would work best if Joey and I were the same size, but I would imagine by the time Joey is my size he will be far too cool to do partner yoga with his old Momma. So, I'll settle for an unbalanced version of any pose! Double dog also works best if you give it a good foundation before adding a second person and if one partners hands are in alignment with the others. Joey and I have been working on this one and like I said, since we aren't the same size it is much harder than it should be to perfect. Here is something the self-timer caught of us getting closer to perfection on this than ever before! Along with some others of my little yogi having a fun time in the backyard!
