Every Friday morning I treat myself to Yoga with my amazing teacher who will be 82 this year. When we were getting the kids ready for school they all stepped on the scale, my five year old is 50 pounds and loves to be the "biggest," Thank God he is the oldest, he loves being the tallest, biggest, and oldest. My almost 4 year old girl is 34 and my baby is 33! I have to have my kids at school between 8:30-9am, and when I got to the gym which is close by, it was just 9am. Then I remembered right before Yoga they have Zumba, so it started at 8:30am, but I could get a good half hour in, and it was so much fun. The teacher was amazing, for one of the songs she had us line up in two groups facing each other, we were doing a salsa move like partners, each with opposing steps, then she asked everyone to find a partner and we free style salsa danced together, it felt amazing. I love to dance, I love to move, but it all boils down to an amazing instructor and some good music, this had it all.
So I got a good sweat on, and it felt good to do Yoga already super warmed up, my teacher asked me to be the model so the rest of the class could follow, and it felt good, I didn't do it for a while since I was getting my strength and flow back after having my last baby, but I am excited to really feel like myself again. Just came home from getting my hair done, I am so excited for a fun weekend.
For Shabbat, our wonderful Day of Rest tomorrow, we will all enjoy going to synagogue together, then we are invited to a good friend for dessert, excited to spend the day indulging in the pleasures of life and relationships. No outside stimuli, it is so special and I feel blessed to have a day to focus only on family, friends, and recharging myself.
Sunday there is a huge Lego Day at the Skirball museum, I am going with a good friend and her kids, that is my day to give all of me to them and just have a blast.
Before I got my kids from school today I took my baby to the park to just play and give him my undivided attention, he had a great time, the weather was perfect, a bit cool but with the sun peeking out.
Feeling Blessed,
Find Gratitude in Your Day,
Shabbat Shalom,
Coach Yulia
