The Governor informed me three days ago that they did yoga at his school as he carried on with his handful of toy cars and mish-mash of trains. Apparently some of the trains were on their way to "do yoga" and had just stopped to pick up a couple of more coaches along the way.
I was fascinated with the thought of preschoolers in orderly rows, striking poses such as "The Cat" or "The Bridge" as peaceful music played in the background, so I asked him to kindly demonstrate some of his "yoga" for me.
Apparently a three and a half's year old's "yoga" is drastically different from Sivananda Yoga or Hatha Yoga or really anything you think of when you think of the word "yoga." What followed after my request was my son traveling around the living room floor, alternately striking some amorphos pose with his leg up and head on the floor, and then lying on his back, with his legs stretched up to his head. He would run, and then sort of "tumble" into his next pose, and keep on going. I didn't know yoga was so...harried and frantic.
He tried to do "yoga" in the bath last night. I told him it wasn't such a good idea. One of those "hazardous to your health" things.
I probably could use some meditative space myself. I am gearing up for an in-home jewelry show, my first. I will try and take some pics if I get the chance, but I've got some other prep work to do, namely emailing invitation and sewing pink felt pouches in which people to take home their goodies. I'm mostly interested in covering my costs--If I sell 2 or 3 necklaces and the same amount of earrings and 2 purses (out of the 8 that I made so far), I should be good to go.
