Barbies doing yoga

January 24, 2008

Rowan had an impromptu yoga class with all of her Barbies in my room today. I was working on the computer, half tuning in and out of her conversations, and before I realized it she had a whole yoga class going and all of her Barbies doing backbends…

Barbies do backbends too…sort of

It’s been a long time…

Well, here we are again about to embark on a trip half way around the world with our daughter.

The last time I had a blog was 2 years ago when we decided to take our 1 year old with us to Mysore for 4 months. Now we are going back to India in a few weeks and I thought people, mainly yogi parents or yogi’s thinking of being parents, would like to see how our trip goes with a wee one.  I will probably only continue the blog through our trip and our immediate return.  Beyond that I cannot say for sure…

This will be a short trip – only 4 weeks – and we are going to Goa – not Mysore – mainly because we really wanted to spend some time practicing with Rolf and Marci. I know it seems like we should at least make an attempt at going to Mysore since we will be so close, but really I don’t want to practice with 300 other people right now. Plus we don’t have that much time for our trip this time around and practicing with Rolf was a bigger priority right now.

Our daughter is now 3 and although she has no real concept of what it means to go to India she is excited and keeps asking when we are going. As people who know her are aware, she is an uber girl – loves pink, girly things, dresses, basically anything girly-girly she loves – so she told us that as long as there were other little girls in India to play with she was all for it. So we shall see…

As a side note, anyone who has any questions about traveling there with little ones is more than welcome to email me with questions.
