Weekend swimming

Having so much fun!

During weekends, my husband and I look forward to our family activities.  One of these is swimming.  We go to a public but well maintained pool.  Good thing the place is accessible for us to go to since traffic is really bad in the city.

One of the reasons we go swimming is for our baby to be acquainted with water early on.  We plan to enroll her in swimming class once she gets a bit older.  We're hoping this would help her overcome her asthma attacks.  We searched for good swimming schools in the city for toddlers and we saw Bert Lozada's school.  We checked out the pools that they use for classes and we're very happy that two locations are near our place.  We can't wait to see her attending the class soon!

Missing the Mat

I have been MIA (missing in action) from my yoga class since I got pregnant. I miss my yoga mat. I miss going to the gym to attend classes. I miss exercising.

With yoga, I am at peace. I enjoy the calmness and peaceful environment while exercising. I don't like doing strenuous activities in the gym. What I love the most about yoga is that I can lose weight at the same time learn how to meditate.

There are different kinds of yoga practices.  However, the varieties that I'm familiar with are Hatha, Ashtanga, Bikram and Iyengar. I used to practice Hatha with combination of Pilates before.  I want to try Bikram which is being done in a heated room.  That means double pressure and needs more focus.

When my baby grows bigger, I will definitely go back to doing yoga. For the meantime, I'll try to do home video tutorials so I won't miss the mat anymore.
