I had just returned home from a ride on my Orange Rocket (also known as the Trek Equinox TTX SSL loaded with SRAM Red) expecting my three little chicks to just be arising for the day… when I heard a familiar sound coming from the Family Room.  I peeked around the corner and I could not believe what I saw!!!  My daughters had put in my A.M. YOGA DVD from GAIAM http://www.gaiam.com/ and were dressed in their “yoga attire”  about half way through the session.  As you can tell, they had moved the furnature, removed their socks, pulled out some of my stretching straps and my yoga mat (I’m not sure how the oldest won that one ;-).  Also notice the pile of other GAIAM DVD’s they pulled out on the floor as well.  I said to them… “Only in my house would this happen!”  and they responded.. “What?” I replied, “Coming home to a 9, 11, & 13 year old doing Yoga! Who’s kids do this?!” They said, “But Momma, it makes us feel so good!”  My heart swelled and I was grinning in disbelief.

Several months back, I started on Monday nights using my GAIAM DVDs. The four of us do one of the Gaiam DVD’s whether it is the 1) Stretching 2) Pilates 3) Yoga 4) Meditation 5) Abs.  They are always excited to join in and get really upset with Mom if I start without them.  I’ve learned not to do this any more!  I never imagined it would be something they would initiate on their own.  I guess they are learning and discovering things they enjoy and make their bodies feel good. 

It was beyond my wildest dream what I saw that morning. Good habits are forming =)

Enjoy your training. ~T
