As festive and exciting as this time of the year is, the holiday season can also be quite stressful for many.
“We don’t want to pull the covers over our head, and we don’t want to lose ourselves in a bottle, we want to build some resilience. Through breathing practices you can practise self-regulating your own nervous system. It’s like a pill without the pill.”

Mummas & Babies – Yoga with Lori Lucas on VancouverYogaReview.com
I’ve heard it said time & time again, that lots of women make their first path into yoga when they are pregnant, and what a better place to be when you first make your way into yoga then to already be on a path of change.
I was graciously invited to come & take one of Lori Lucas’ Prenatal classes at the Roundhouse last week, and was delighted to be surrounded by love and baby bellies! Yoga is a great practice for Moms to be who are more aware of the changes in their bodies and allows them to prepare mentally and physically for the birth of their babies. Prenatal yoga helps in building awareness and self love, along with strength both mentally and physically as well as added perks of relaxation, decreased swelling, relief from back and neck pain and so much more.

A New Twist on New Years Resolutions on VancouverMom.ca
Here it is, that time of year when we look at what is working well in our lives – and we also look at the things that might not be working so well. Millions of people toast to a brand new year and a brand new them at midnight on December 31. Did you? What are your resolutions for 2012?
For years and years I made (and failed at) New Year’s resolutions, but not everyone fails! I am in the majority, statistically. I recently read that out of those who make New Year’s resolutions, 22% fall off the wagon after a week, and a50% just give up altogether within three months.

A More Mindful Holiday Season on VancouverMom.ca
Excited? Stressed? A little of both? How do you keep your calm and find balance and inner peace in spite of it all?
Mindfulness for the Holiday Season or Anytime
Yoga is my thing, so of course I suggest it, but did you know yoga can be practiced off the mat, too? Anytime and anywhere. Mindfulness practice is paying attention (on purpose and without judgement) to the present moment exactly the way things are.
