Mom/Baby Pi-Yo Class

Jackson and I went to our first mom/baby Pi-Yo (pilates-yoga) class yesterday. Last time I did yoga was a few weeks before Jackson was born, so it was great to get back into it. It was also nice to see the babies of a few mom's in my prenatal class and also from the hospital birthing class and to talk to the moms about how their labor and delivery went. And, it was good just to be outside of the house.

How does this mom/baby yoga work, you might be wondering? Basically, Jackson lays on a blanket at the top of the yoga mat and I will pick him up when doing certain poses. Kind of like extra weight. Sometimes he will lay on his blanket and I will bend over him and tickle or sing to him. About 1/2 way during the class, we did a pose that included gentle rocking and he completely fell asleep. So, I completed the rest of the class without him as he snoozed away on the blanket. He was the only one who fell asleep!

The only part I didn't care for was the hokey-pokey at the end of the class, but probably because I was doing it by myself and it seemed kind of silly. I will probably go back again, though!
