It really helped to continually remind myself, especially as my due date got closer, that my body had done this before and was ready and more than capable of doing it again. I guess you could say that was my mantra! And I really, truly believe it helped. Becoming a mother for the first time is such a huge, life altering event and it is only since having my second child that I have been able to reflect positively on that. I really think we all need to nurture ourselves as much as we nurture our little ones!philohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09286034259817550601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422372995850609269.post-8139058341825522712011-09-27T12:46:01.540-07:002011-09-27T12:46:01.540-07:00Giving birth naturaly is the thing I´ve done in my...Giving birth naturaly is the thing I´ve done in my life which I am proudest and happiest about.

As I mentioned to Gaby, I've been practicing for a number of years now but have really enjoyed the gentleness of pre natal yoga. I'd be really interested in reading more about yoga beyond birth. Katie's book sounds great.<br><br>My first yoga teacher once said to us that 'where you are is perfect for you...and just where you should be'...and I've always remembered those words. On my journey to motherhood these words have comforted me particularly, and have helped me to relax, rest and just be - as both you and Katie encourage. I read your post a few days ago and think it influenced the slow and wonderful weekend I enjoyed (neglecting the chores for a morning together instead). Thank you!<br><br>My question is, if a Mama doesn't have the time or energy for strong yoga practice, what is the one thing you recommend she make time to do/practice in its place?<br>xoscarlucindahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16828867954532550108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7422372995850609269.post-61856125384270964622011-09-24T13:14:35.801-07:002011-09-24T13:14:35.801-07:00I'm intrigued!
