Yoga And Pregnancy

As my babe grew within me, my center became his. The flexible and light body that used to bend over backwards in scorpion pose became heavy and constricted. At eight months pregnant, I had trouble with simple moves like putting-on-shoes-asana. Nevertheless, continuing with a modified yoga practice kept me flexible and strong. By practicing yoga I released shoulder tension and kept my legs strong throughout the pregnancy. After giving birth to my son I bounced back to my familiar shape. My efforts helped me reclaim my center and advanced my understanding of the peace that can be discovered through yoga.

The hormonal changes that took place during and after the pregnancy shook memore like threw me for a few loops. Instead of checking into a loony bin or hitting my husband, I hit the mat with and without my babe and breathe. Interestingly, I experienced profound shifts in peace-of-mind when my practice was neglected and when I re-found it.

Giving birth changes a woman. Were all different to start with and so are our changes. When we become mothers our connection with Spirit becomes stronger. Yoga helps me to embrace this responsibility, and trust that a greater force is taking care of all of us. Ive observed many people be crushed with fear after having a baby. Life is too short to live in a state of fear. Yoga means union and when we practice union, we trust, love and find meaningful balance. Ultimately, practicing yoga opens your heart and makes transformation real for you.

Softball In Disney - My Daughter's Comeback (March 2006)

Its the end of march, 2006. The trip to Disney to play in a tournament has finally arrived. My daughter Manteee and her team of Indian Hills Braves from Oakland New Jersey is about to take on a team from Livingston New Jersey. Livingston and Oakland are about 20 miles apart. So what that we traveled 1500 miles to play each other.

The top of the first inning for Livingston.

While watching Livingston practice I said to myself. Hey it looks like these girls can play. Livingston gets a few runners on base and then there is a hot grounder right at my daughter. She errs and a run scores. My Manteee is not looking so good. two batters later with the bases loaded for Livingston, another grounder is hit to my daughter with the same results as the previous ball in the dirt. Manteee goes to her right and boots the ball.

As two runners crossed the plate I shifted my attention from my daughter to the coach. He was livid. The first inning ends with Livingston in front 3-0. This was the low point of the trip for my daughter. She did not play again in this game. The coach yanked her and had her sit the bench.

As I watched the game my thoughts were about Manteee as I observed the field. I often gazed into the dugout to see how my daughter was doing. It seemed like she was hiding. When I got a rare glimpse of her, she looked like she had lost her best friend. This was a low point to say the least.

Next game had different results.

Back at her position at second base my Manteee seemed to be apprehensive about what could happen. Her fears and concerns soon subsided. In the first inning another team from New Jersey hit two balls her way. She played them well and threw out both runners.

As the game moved on more balls were hit her way. A dozen chances at least. Maybe two or three hard plays had to be made. She handled all the plays and Indian Hills won the game.

after the game assistant coach Phil Lemenza said. Sammi is my hero. after playing a horrible game she came back strong. (My wife and I are the only ones that call her Manteee everyone else calls her Sammi)

To say I am proud of her is an understatement. She fights; she claws and never gives up.

She is my hero as well. Thats why she is one of my top ten favorite players of all time.

Please pass this on to your friends.

The great game of baseball. What could be better? Loving the game of baseball for Aron Wallad has been a job of joy for a long time.
