Maybe I was building another problem doll to add to my stacking set, or maybe it was an effort to create a support system for my self-reflection, but I took on a summer sadhana.

How fantastic. I am enjoying my practice, which is tending more towards pranayama and meditation at the moment. It was great to see you with Hawk (as I knew at the time I was pregnant) - yogi babies seem so magical! Many blessings, KL Hey Jenifer,

I loved my practice during pregnancy with Hawk. It was such a dynamic, unbelievable experience of growth and really listening deeply to and trusting my body. That diligent practice of listening deeply and trusting helped to create the most amazing, pleasurable and ecstatic birth experience as well. I also credit weekly prenatal massage, btw! LOL Have an amazing pregnancy and I look forward to seeing you again when Ryan, Hawk, and I move to NZ! Many blessings to you all (you, partner, and baby!)! Jenifer Congratulations on your pregnancy!

Hey Vera, Cheers babe! It is an awesome heart set from Anmol, one of the best I think. Blessings, KL Hey Yvonne,

Life is beautiful and unpredictably magical! Thanks for reminding me about Anmol's awesome heart chakra set. Will definitely be incorporating that into my daily actions. :-) I'm now dreaming of prenatal yoga and knitted baby goodies. ;-) Bless, Vera I know I already said it but, big congrats!

I am so happy for you and wish you and your partner much peace and love during this special time. I am doing a sadhana at the moment that basically involves getting myself on my yoga mat every morning. I'm doing it for a variety of reasons, not least of which is to get that discipline of starting the day with yoga ingrained in to me. Kara-Leah, congratulations on your news!
