On Wednesday I started planning the school year activities for the kids. I can’t believe the summer is almost over! I know some parents don’t like the summer, and honestly, I would have expected to be one of those parents…but wow, I have discovered that I LOVE the summer. This has been my first summer after having a kid in school full-time, and every single day has felt like a gift. It’s like Christmas every day–but with better weather. I love, love, love it.
At the same time, planning the school schedule was fun because I like thinking about what skills my kids will develop during the year and working on making good schedules for them. We have one dance day a week wherein Mary will have ballet, Lydia will have jazz, and they both will have hip-hop together right after. I found a Groupon for tumbling for Ammon.
While on Groupon, I found a Groupon for bikram yoga in Lehi. Up until now, I have always assumed that was too far away. For a while there, I went to a much closer yoga studio that did hot yoga with some bikram-yoga-esque classes…but it wasn’t the real deal. The studio was never hot or humid enough and the teachers didn’t really respect the integrity of the routine.
So anyway, when I found a groupon for REAL bikram yoga–and since I take my kids to Thanksgiving Point enough that it doesn’t feel far anymore–I freaked out and bought it.
Then I left for my first class soon after Abe came home. IT WAS AMAZING. I poured sweat the whole time and felt absolutely incredible. God lead me to bikram yoga after Lydia was born, and I know this type of exercise just works really well for my body. I love it so much. Plus, the studio was the most beautiful yoga studio I have ever been to. It was awesome.
Thank you to my mom and Abe who let me leave them with the work while I went and had the time of my life. And the sad news for them and selfish news for me is that i get unlimited yoga ALL MONTH. Is that not incredible?!?!?! It’s incredible.
