I Can't do Yoga

Didn’t know this was possible until today, but now that I do, watch out. #venezuela #maduro #badneighbors #whatsyoursismine #captured

The truth comes out. When I shared this video last fall, I didn’t expect the impact it would have. 50+ million views across platforms and thousands of messages letting me know you felt seen, and that you’d finally found the words to communicate your ‘whole self’ to your family. I get it. Some days we want to zoom, some days we just want to be layer-arounders all day. And life with a zoomer-arounder mama and papa can be rough! 😂 Truth is, newly 5-year-old Emi is part layer-arounder, part zoomer, but she knows when she needs her downtime, just like her mama. Like me, she needs that balance, and it means so much that she can tell me how she feels and knows I’ll support her. ✨ This was Emi’s first time skiing off the very top of Mount Bachelor. She wanted to do it, but once we started down, we quickly realized how steep it was. The snow was firm too, and I could hear the hesitation in her voice. So we took a break right after this exchange. I realized she was too hot, so I peeled off one of her layers, reminded her, “I got you,” and told her I could carry her if she wanted me to. Once I carried her past the steep section and ate some gummies, she asked to keep skiing. As we skied down, our conversation continued for another five minutes. I sensed there was something deeper going on, so gentle asked then I listened, following up on her thoughts to better understand what she was expressing and feeling. She shared that if she had her way that day, she’d snuggle with her Squishmallows all day, only getting up to brush her teeth… and that she was feeling sick. So we finished the run and went back to our van to snuggle with hot cocoa and a good book. There’s usually a deeper story, and often we don’t have the words to express it. A good reminder to check in and listen when we’re out on the mountain with our kids, partners, and friends. #layerarounder #zoomerarounder #skiingwithkids #motheranddaughter #outdoormom

Inversions!! I’ve always been inspired by images of people who don’t look so athletic doing athletic things but somehow struggle with finding courage to post my own pictures. It took me a while to tackle my fear so I’m proud at how achievable my headstand has become.
Join me Tuesdays at 6:00 at SNY to make some strides with Yoga.

Instead of reaching for that perfect yoga butt this year, how about we work on no lower back pain and sciatica. Less glamorous but more functional, like good shoes. Everyone loves good shoes.
