September 13, 2011Pearl has been learning yoga at school. It's been quite exciting for her to tell me about it every day on our drive home. So tonight Pearl gave me a mini-yoga lesson. It went something like this.
Pearl: "Mom, first you sit on the ground. Put your legs like this."
Me: "You mean like this?"
Pearl: "Oh yeah. Now we do this (as she sucks in a big breathe of air and squeezes her lips together and moving her arms out and in)."
Me: "Ok, now what?"
Pearl: "Now you stand up and do this."
Me: "Is this right?" As we are now with our heads upside down like in the picture.
Pearl: "Ok, now you stand up. Put your leg out and go like this with your arms. No, like this, Mom!" (I did finally figure out what she wanted me to do, just basically stand there with one leg pointing out the other pointing the other way, slightly bent with the knees, and waving my arm above my head and then back down to my knee.)
Me: "I'm tired."
Pearl: "Good job, Mom. Cole do yoga. No, Cole! Get off of me, Cole!" (Cole figured yoga meant a wrestling match with his unsuspecting big sister.)
My lack of yoga terminology is glaringly lacking as you can tell. Maybe after a few more yoga lessons, I'll get it down.

I love it when kids get all excited about something new and have to tell you all about it like it's a new world revelation. So sweet!
