Mommy and Me Yoga at Home Part 1

Hi everyone! Welcome to Kami Rose Yoga and today we have a very special guest. This is Hannah and she's coming to join us today for our very first Mommy and Me yoga session. This is my niece, she's not my daughter, but she's going to help us out with today's episode on Mommy and Me yoga. Hannah, what do you love about yoga? You love downward dog. Anything else? No? Okay, well we'll get started today. So we'll start seated. Okay, so we can start with our legs crossed and we're going to bring our hands to our legs, close our eyes, and we're just going to breathe for a few seconds. So keeping your eyes closed, really breathe, focus on your breath. Okay, now we're going to open our eyes and we're going to come to our mat. So Hannah, go ahead and take your spot on your purple mat and we're going to come to all fours. So bring your shoulders above your hands and your knees below your waist and we're going to do what's called cat-cow. You know cat-cow? So you arch your back like a cat on the inhale, then on the exhale, then as you inhale you're going to drop your head, your back down, gaze up towards the ceiling, and exhale. Curl your spine up like a cat once more, really deep. And then inhale, look up, drop your head down. Very good. And then your favorite one, Hannah, downward facing dog. So bring your toes in and push back. Good job. Very good. Okay, do you want to get on my back for this next one? Okay, so then the next one, your little one, can get on your back. So come onto your knees, your little one's going to climb on your back, kind of like a piggyback. Ready? And then you're going to rock back up. Okay, push it up in plank. If this is enough for you, you're going to hold it here. Stay on there, Hannah. Really pressing into the ground with your shoulders. As you inhale, rock forward, bringing your shoulders over your hands. Exhale, rock back. Really pull your belly in. Are you holding tight, Hannah? Yeah. We'll do two more. Ready? Is it kind of like a ride? Oh, keep staying on my back. Hold on tight. Inhale, exhale, pull your belly in. Inhale, exhale. Good job. Okay, good. All right, Hannah, come back to downward facing dog. Okay, so come back to downward facing dog. Do you know up dog? No. Downward facing dog. Okay, as you inhale, gaze forward, step your feet forward in between your hands. Good. And then stand up nice and tall, reaching high up towards the ceiling. Good. Okay, we're going to come back onto my mat, Hannah. Come on back onto my mat. Good. Are you ready? So we're going to make what's called a tree pose. So you're going to reach. You can either reach your arms up nice and tall, or if you want, you can place your foot on your leg like that. Can you do that? No. There we go. You can use me as a support. Very good. Okay, reach your left arm nice and high. Reach this arm nice and high. Very good. Okay, or you can bring your hands to your chest into half heart. There you go. Thank you for covering your mouth. Okay, bring your other foot down, and then bring your other one up. Okay, you have your foot up. You're only bouncing on your one foot. Okay, do you want to rest your hand on my knee? Okay. Mom's bringing your hands to heart center. Your child can rest and balance. Oh, good job, Hannah. You can keep your hand on my knee. Kind of hard to balance, huh? Okay, bring your hand down, your foot down. Reach your arms up tall like a tree, reaching high, and then exhale, fold forward. Good job. We're just going to fold forward here for just a little bit. Next thing you're going to do is come up onto your knees. Good, and then this hand on this side is going to stay next to your leg. This arm you're going to reach up nice and tall. Gaze up towards your fingers. Good, and then you're going to pull and bend this hand that way. Good, just like this, Hannah. See, like this, and keep your gaze up towards these fingers. Look at these fingers. Hannah, look at these fingers. Here we go. Good. Okay, bring this hand down to your side. This one comes up. This one stays by your leg. Reach your left arm up.
