Fartner Yoga?

Let me just say I have the best kids in the world! Even though they fight almost daily, scream, whine, cry, cause me to drink (haha), they are pretty darn good. It was such a beautiful day today, and as Eli was taking a break from the mountain of homework he always has, I was practicing yoga in the sun and light breeze. The kids were running underfoot, and it wasn't bothering me one bit. Eli is my "mirror" and I ask him to tell me if my hips are level in certain poses. Today, we began to do "partner yoga" and I was putting them on my feet in various poses. Then we got out my partner yoga book and began to explore some of the poses described in my book. The one Eli and I lost our composure was "boat pose" we faced each other with knees bent, toes touching. we then clasped arms (hands on forearms) and lifted one leg up (like a "V"). Eli's hamstrings were so tight, and he started to cringe and laugh at the same time while attempting to straighten his leg. Then he let out a small "toot" during all that effort and we both just collapsed out of our poses, and enjoyed some deep belly laughing. It then progressed to Jonah and Sammy wanting to do partner yoga, and I ended up holding them all on my feet with some serious abdominal work going on just to keep them stable. I noticed that I was holding my breath, and once I began the breathe, the pose came alive, stable, beautiful like a picture. It was awesome. My kids and me, sunlight, breeze, yoga, laughter, togetherness, tenderness, unity of the Yonaitis.
