4.10.11

Today I taught yoga took a deep breath and attempted to teach yoga to second graders.


Oddly enough, their most favorite poses to do were balancing ones. 


Any guesses why? 


Because it's so much fun to fall out of them! And after you fall, you shriek and laugh and everyone around you wants to fall, too, because they think it looks that fun!


Oh the lessons in the 30 minutes I spent with them...

  • Never ever take yourself seriously. College degrees, certifications, credit hours, and classes can't make you fun and carefree. Your positive attitude does.
  • When in doubt, wiggle, make silly faces, scream, and laugh. 
  • Fall. Down. Hard. Your nearest and dearest are there to pick you right back up.
  • If happiness is striking a balance, and it's too much to think about how to find it, then keep going, keep your routine, run and run and run and run and then stop. Deep breath. Ok, keep going. Eventually, you'll find the time to breathe a little longer. 
I have loved and learned from your posts about how you balance. Keep them coming. Invite your friends. It's free stuff! It won't be the last giveaway...I've got more up my (blog) sleeve! Remember, become a follower, then leave your comments on this post here. 

And tomorrow, find a friend, stand on one leg, and lose your balance. Immediately laugh. Repeat as necessary.
