comeback!

i could hardly believe it has been almost 9 months since my last blog! i should really be more committed to writing my blogs more regularly. mostly i have just been really busy (quite understandable right, when i was juggling between work, yoga, pregnancy and then birth, baby and more baby time) and maybe the other part was mainly because i could never sign in to my blogger account without much difficulty. don't ask me why....i just can't seem to keep track of my password and for some reason, i am signed in to yahoo account here instead of a gmail account. again, don't ask me why.
so on to more important things...whew! where do i even begin? i guess that's what happens when you don't blog for 9 months! you either forget what you're supposed to write about...or there are simply just too many events that you cannot pick one anymore!
so let me start by saying that i now have a lovely and adorable little baby girl who is now about to turn 5 months in the next couple of weeks. her name is dharma ava dulay bernales. born may 25, 2010. 2.4 kg (very small!) and she is amazing! we absolutely adore her! there are so many things to write about her that i'll need to have another blog for it! (don't worry, it will definitely come sooner than her first year birthday!).
that's really the biggest thing now.
consider this my comeback blog. more to come!

m.i.a.

So I have been missing in action from my blog for about 4 months now. Wow, it has been that long!  The silence from my blog though does not mean that I have lost interest in my yoga training. On the contrary, I have been the process of rediscovering it...  since learning that my husband and I are expecting our first baby, my yoga practice has taken out a whole new level.  I mean, being pregnant is bigger than both of us...  than anything else for that matter!

and so for the past 5 1/2 months, I have been rediscovering yoga as a pregnant yogini :).   

For the past few months, I have gone deeper into my practice in a whole new different light.  I have rediscovered my relationship with my body and have gained a greater sense of awareness for my own body as well as the life growing inside me.  I have rediscovered my own strength and have found a renewed respect for my own weaknesses.  I have a greater sense of purpose and a clear intention during each yoga practice.  I have developed the ability to draw a heightened level of focus and meditation from within.

So while I do miss a lot of things about yoga that I used to be able to do before I got pregnant, being pregnant is allowing me to experience yoga in a whole new way.  And for that I am thankful, and for that I am blessed.
