How Moms Benefit from Yoga


Do you practice yoga?

Here is a great site for stretching poses. These poses are a great way to start your day. I do the butterfly, the sphinx, and the dragonfly.

Yin Yoga

Thanks Lisa!

Just started back to Yoga and had never heard of Yin Yoga. I'll give it a try.

A friend just turned me on to the Yin Yoga site, and I'm enjoying (reaping the benefits) of the early morning stretches!


I am no Yogi, but I also love Denise Austin's Hot Body Yoga. If you can get passed her voice, it is a 30-minute quick practice... but it uses weights and I feel energized after I do this yoga practice.

I think that is the wrong link (above) to the power yoga with weights video that I like. When I went to do it this morning (after a long time of not doing it), it wasn't the one I remembered. I am going to look for the proper link.

In the meantime, I just received an email from the Omega Institute about a yoga with weights workshop by Sherri Baptiste. Per a Yogi friend of mine (of blessed memory), I have been doing Barone Baptiste's videos for several years and enjoy them immensely.

Check it out:

ok. Here is the Denise Austin yoga video that I love so much. There are two workouts on the DVD, and the second one is the one I like.

It uses weights, and I feel good when I've completed it. It combines yoga and weights - working many muscles at the same time. If you've tried it, let me know what you think.

After the first few times doing it, you can mute the TV.
