Hot Yoga

This past week, I went into the yoga studio I go to and my normal instructor wasn't there because there was a workshop that night at the same time (and there is only one yoga room). I usually take slow flow yoga, so hot yoga was new to me. *Be mindful, I just started yoga a few weeks ago* The person teaching this yoga class said I could go into this class if I wanted to, that if I could handle the other instructor, then I could handle this class. So, I went in there thinking I can do this. During the class, we were doing all types of poses that I had never heard of before so I had to keep looking around to see which ways to turn and what not. After a couple of times though, I got the hang of it and I thought oh this is nice. Then, we started doing harder things and trying to get into poses that my body just isn't ready for yet so I had to modify them, which isn't bad as there wasn't many people in the class, that it allowed for the instructor to come and correct you if you are doing something wrong or needed modifications. In the end though, I made it through and that was huge for me because after the class I was SO tired, sore, and sweaty. Although, the sweat was different than normal work-out sweat, it's really hard to explain. I felt so stretched and relaxed afterwards though that I would definitely do it again. So anyone who is wanting to try out yoga or hot yoga for the first time, I encourage you to do it, especially if you live a busy and stressful life. It will put your mind and body at ease and give you strength and balance that you never knew you had. 


This is the class I took and the description of it, it was amazing yet difficult at the same time. Don't let any of this discourage you from going to hot yoga though, it is an amazing experience and I would recommend it to anyone interested in yoga. 
Purify the body and mind in this warm vinyasa flow. The instructor will lead us through sun salutations and poses designed to flush out toxins that have been stored in the body’s tissue, allowing for a deeper sense of purification and renewal. Within the context of a specifically designed series of postures that stimulates the digestive, circulatory, and lymphatic systems we will cleanse, purify, rejuvenate and restore from the inside out. The room is heated to encourage sweat and pliability. Build strength, improve focus and flexibility, while removing tension and flushing toxins. Experience deep relaxation as she guides us through a blissful guided meditation. Good for body, mind and spirit. 


If I can do this, you can to!

Dr. Seuss Inspired Week

Hello all and welcome to my blog. I've been reading so many different types of blogs now and it has inspired me to start my own so that I can share some of my daily activities, adventures, stories, and much more with all of you. This week, it's all about Dr. Seuss since his birthday was on Saturday.

I am a nanny to two little girls, ages 5 and 3, and I LOVE teaching them and doing fun 'school things' with them everyday.
I just wanted to post my lesson plans for everyone to see to get ideas to teach their little ones.

Monday: 

Read this book

Sight Word- 'so' - make up a song using this sight word

Create our own rhyming page- make up one sentence that rhymes and then draw a picture to go along with that

Make a hat like the one found on this blog discoverykidzone.blogspot.com/2012/03/whats-on-tray-wednesday-this-week-is.html using words that rhyme with hat

Snack- Round apple slices on bottom then cut up strawberries and bananas and stack them like hats in a pattern. *Since the five year old don't like bananas I'm going to put cottage cheese in the middle of the strawberries to make a red and white pattern. 

Tuesday: 

Read this book

Sight Word- 'small' - use ABC blocks 

Art: Paint all the letters of the alphabet using whatever the girls want (fingers, paintbrushes, q-tips, etc)

Play alphabet bingo - the girls LOVE playing this and we haven't done it in a while

Let the three year old use alphabet stickers to write her name - do a name puzzle with the 5 year old

Wednesday: 

Read this book

Sight Word- 'soon' - spelling it out with our bodies (like the ymca) 

Art: Have the girls draw their own girl named Daisy-Head Mayzie. Then we will use craft sticks as the stems (painted green), they will cut out white daisy petals and we will use yellow pom-pom balls for the middle of the daisy flower. 

Thursday: 

Read this book

Game: I'm going to have fish made with numbers 1-20 on them and turn them all over (where you can't see the numbers) in a "pond". The girls are going to have tweezers to pick up the fish and then they get to write the numbers they pick up in order on their papers. 

Art: Using toilet paper tubes and bubble wrap. Paint the toilet paper tubes whatever color they want, let dry. Then paint onto the same toilet paper tube with bubble wrap in a different color to make the fish scales. After everything is dry, we're going to add tissue paper for the fins and googly eyes. 

Friday: 

Read this book

Review all sight words - we do sight words every week and the girls know so many now that I like to do a review every Friday

Art project that we're going to be working on, on and off, all day. 

Make truffula trees using cotton balls, sticks, paint, water, and food coloring. Also, I will be doing the part with the hot glue gun, not the girls since I don't want them to burn themselves. Want to learn how to make these wonderful truffula trees, visit this blog: inlieuofpreschool.com/lorax-craft-sensory-bin/

I'm SO excited for our Dr. Seuss week. Every week, we do three sight words, then take the day off sight words on Thursday and review all the sight words we've ever done on Fridays. Sometimes we only review the ones from that week and other times we incorporate many weeks. I usually try to review the ones they have more trouble with the most. They also love to work in their 'school books' that have addition, abc things, rhyming, tracing, and much more. 

Thank you for checking out my blog, continue to follow me as I will be doing many more blog posts :)
