bio: a bit of a biography. i have practiced yoga and meditation at different points of my life. my most recent practice has been pretty consistent since 1999. i practice iyengar yoga. i certainly do not consider myself an expert, though it is a topic i take very seriously and have studied. i am not a yoga teacher, although, i have filled in for my teacher on a few occassions. i am keeping this yoga blog for a number or reasons. first of all, to experiment with a different style of blogging, next, in a hope it will enrich my practice - by focusing my reading and by keeping my focus on my daily practice - on and off the mat, and lastly, in an attempt to provide a resource for new and experienced yoga practitioners - a resource that will contain links to what i find interesting, informative, etc., about yoga admittedly, filtered through my own biases. i keep another weblog _monk in case you are interested in the more mundane events of my life, or a potpourri of random thoughts.

from time magazine, an article about yoga for babies

i have some of my own experience with my kids and yoga - though they are older than the infants mentioned in the article. they took a few yoga classes and occasionally practice with me. my take on it is that yoga for kids works as long as you realize that kids are not adults and as such won't (and in some cases can't) practice like adults (a good thought to keep in mind for little league coaches, by the way).

so, my advice to other parents: be careful what you let them do as their bodies aren't ready for all the poses - but other than that - try it out- let them invent their own poses - and let them have fun - their practice won't be the same as yours cause they are not the same as you. kids have a great quality which i strive to adapt - they are suspicious of things that aren't fun...
