Yogi

A good friend of mine, Karri is the Yoga instructor on base. She is awesome......all of the other Yoga instructors are awesome here too but she is the awesomist because she's my friend. Anyway, I finally dragged my butt down to her prenatal yoga class yesterday. I had been doing some videos at home and they helped but her class was great. It helped stretch out my calves which are notorious for cramping up and helped stretch out my rib cage which is getting more and more crowded these days. If anyone reading this is pregnant and residing on or attached somehow to Yokosuka Navy Base try her class. For first time moms or soon to be moms in who are new to the area it's a great opportunity to meet other folks like you! She also teaches Power Yoga and Mommy and Me yoga. I always always always feel better physically and well as emotionally after leaving her class. She'll usually end her class with a thought or begin her class with a theme. At the end of this class she ended with this thought: with all the discomforts of pregnancy that we have be comforted by the blessing that we have. Not everyone can experience this and we are so fortunate to have this opportunity. I'm fortunate to not only once but twice have this blessing so, for now I am grateful.....ask me in a few months though and I may have to read this again!

Today, I went to Akachan Hanpo with a couple of mommy friends. The store is like a Japanese Babies R Us. The prices were reasonable and the mall that it was in was huge! Check it out if you are in the market for baby goods. They are located at Kawasaki Station (JR) in the humongous mall there. Oh yeah. They also have a CPK there! I had Carne Asada Pizza. Thanks for the great time Jenn & Nina.
