Bedtime yoga

I’ve been working on little ways to incorporate more movement into my days…
Now that I am working part time, doing school runs and going to playgroup, little time is left over for exercise, movement and meditation. So when some of my lovely readers on Facebook suggested books about yoga with children I couldn’t wait to get started *smile*
We chose Sleepy Little Yoga… and it is the sweetest little book with a good amount of poses that help children wind down, stretching before bedtime… As well as getting this Mama stretching and moving alongside them *grin*

Little Miss Q is loving it too, and each time I say bedtime… let’s go do some bedtime yoga she toddles off down to her room and gets the book ready.
Seeing her in the poses is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen… she likes being the sleepy bunny {think child’s pose}, the upside-down bat and bear cub with her legs stretched high into the air *grin*

And I know it is only a small amount of movement for me, but it is surprising how well I feel afterwards

Do you do yoga with your children? What books could you suggest?
And for more kid friendly yoga ideas pop over to Just For Daisy.

Summer nature table… and some ponderings

Summer has ran hot and cold, a strange mix but oddly appropriate as a match for my emotions and mood.

After Christmas the urge to tidy away the tree, decorations and change the nature table was strong and quick. So we did.

A general clean up around our home and garden followed, and now I feel much more at ease. It is funny how things can suddenly overwhelm. Tidying away, throwing out and cleaning are strangely therapeutic. I guess it is about gaining control again, but also less is more.

Our Summer nature table then slowly took shape.

First a summery fairy door, gnome and vase full of succulents. Then over the weeks to come other summery items have been added ~ a postcard full of sunlight, a butterfly, fairy and bee. And some shells collected from our days at the beach after Christmas.

Summer held in reverence and celebration of this time of the year.

Warmly, Kelly
