i am often encouraging my patients to breathe. yes, i know we all breathe but do you consciously breathe? as soon as you bring awarness to your breathe you slow it down. this helps to lower your blood pressure, and pulse rate, calm your mind, improve your mood and help to de-stress you overall. you also cleanse your body as with each exhalation you breathe out carbon dioxide which is toxic to the body. with my busy month i was trying to take my own advice.
so, in the midst of all this craziness i started a yoga class. i took this same class when i was pregnant with kai and it was so wonderful to stretch and breathe. i equally find it wonderful now, to stretch and breathe. i'm a doer. i like to be busy and often have my hands in many different pots (is that the saying? you know what i mean...) the yoga class is taught by this israeli woman, sarit, and it is in her house just a minute away. her sweet nature and accent and the way she translates words to english from her native hebrew is equally sweet. i also get to practice some hebrew, which i have re-discovered since my trip to israel. i am even trying to speak a bit with the kids and they are starting to learn a bit here and there.
here is a a picture of our smiley little guy from last month...this baby is so different than the other two. he is big and long and has already cut a tooth. oh my, he truly is his own.
