the yoga thing

Boy was yesterday action-packed…  This here Papa-to-be did a little gym climbing in the morning and then accompanied the Mama-to-be to a couples pre-natal yoga workshop in the afternoon.  I wouldn’t say that I’m exhausted (strictly speaking) but there is certainly a tinge in the ol’ muscles.

The workshop was a good one.  It had been probably about 7 or 8 years since the last time I was in a yoga class like that but many of the poses were familiar.  (Alas! No headstand-based poses…)  It was interesting to be around some other pregnant couples (some as far along as 38 weeks) and there were certainly some useful lessons there.

I think that a lot of the things that the instructor encouraged for the labor process are things I would have done anyway.  But it that bit about applying pressure to the sacrum?  Goldmine.
