The Prenatal Yoga Deck

I have this deck, got it as a gift. I've only used it 3 or 4 times in
the morning, but I like it. They are easy to understand, have
illustrations on one side and the explanation on the other. The chants
they tell you to say are silly, so I don't use those.

Oh I'm glad you said it's easy. It looks a little complicated at first
glance.

Taking this comment as an opportunity to follow up on another comment about
my book recommendation being to "new agey." :-)

A lot of people commonly think of meditation as some wierd esoteric eastern
spiritual practice where you have to have some (sorry) "new agey) mind-set.

Stretching and meditation, when used properly are really two sides of the
same coin. The whole point is to learn to relax. Stretching the muscles
forces them to relax phyically (you can't tense a muscle when you are
stretching it!). Meditation is just a word for consciously causing your
MIND to relax your body. The whole point is to learn to relax, whether
you do it with your body or your mind.

Don't get hung up on an overloaded word. :-)

Nice to *meet* you. Thanks for replying. One of my best friends is a Kiwi

Thanks! We seem to get around a bit

Hi Maggie I'm also a Kiwi, living in Wellington (where it's
torrential at the moment and I have a massive amount of
washing to get dried...sigh)
Congrats on your pregnancy :-)

If I can't be a good example, then I'll just have to be a
horrible warning.

Hi Andrea, and thanks for the welcome I know what you mean about the
rain... I'm in Welly too. Today I tried out our new clothes dryer for
the very first time...woohoo! It was our first 'baby-related' purchase.

You too, wow there are about 3 or 4 from Wellington that
post here now. That's quite some achievement for a little
town from downunder :-)
Can you believe the rain is even WORSE today! I nearly
didn't send my kids to school. They catch the school bus and
we live in Akatarawa valley (near Staglands) and the road
has bad slips when it rains like this so I was nervous
sending them.

I've been using mine too, but it has a tough job keeping up
with all my washing. I have 11 children and it gets huge
very quickly if I can't get it dried.
Baby shopping is fun, do you have much to get?
