The Crib experience of a pregnant Yogini

I can’t believe it has been a week since the Yoga Crib. It was such a precious experience that I will hold dear in my heart always. The LOVE that flowed was so immense.

I feel so grateful for the wonderful teachings from all of my teachers that I took. Some of my new favorites are Scott Blossom and Laura Tyree. I found that being 11 weeks pregnant I was really able to let my body and mind slow down. I didn’t feel that urge to push my body to work as hard as it could. It was such a nice change of pace for me. My practice is transforming.

On the last day of the Crib in Laura’s class we were working with mudras and the Throat Bandha(name is slipping my mind). For me…I hold everything in my throat. It is where things tend to lodge and stay. We worked on realeasing negative energy through mudras keeping our awareness at our throats as we flowed through practice. At the end of class I was lying in Savasana and this sense of LOVE totally overtook me. I have felt nothing like it before. I could feel the love from this beautiful being growing inside of me. Swirling. I could feel the love from my husband and family. Pulsing. I could feel the love from all of my yogi community. Encompassing. This love was filling my heart, body, and mind. My Heart. Strengthening it and Opening. There was a big open space in my chest. I started crying..no balling. It felt so good to have that release. I felt so supported and comforted. I felt so blissful.

Everything is going to be okay.
