I am choosing to use the opportunity to get the kids to think about how we can make every day a Valentine’s Day. Why do we need one day to tell the people in our lives how we feel about them? Can we tell those we love, that we love them, every day?
Learning to express our emotions and share how we feel with those around us is a gift. It is something we need to focus more on in our daily lives, and not just one specific day of the year. I like the idea though that Valentine’s day is a reminder and a good time to make ourselves and those around us feel good.

The open heart partner pose is a wonderful heart opening stretch. This pose requires trust and feels so great!
We did another partner pose called partner breath. This one always gets us to connect with our friends in a really deep and powerful way.


Lani, I found this blog through your elm city mama blog. I have 2 littles and was pregnant with my youngest when you were pregnant with Silas. I have since read that blog hoping for your rainbow baby. Thank you for this blog it has helped me teach my daughter and son some yoga which we do every morning and had given me ideas how to incorporate it when we are all going crazy or having"moments". Just seeing them "wag their tails" in downward dog is enough to lift my spirit and be a better mom. Best of luck to you during this time, even though we are strangers my heart wishes for you to have a little one to hold on to. Namaste
