🧘🏼‍♀️ teaching my daughter yoga during lockdown

My daughter, whose college is closed now, walked our dog with me for an hour this morning and we had a lovely conversation about yoga. She has asked me if she can join me in my yoga practice sometimes, so we have just finished a lovely hour or so together doing just that 😊🧘🏼‍♀️.

So, I got my husband running with me yesterday on my first consolidation run 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️, I now have my teenage daughter doing yoga with me 🧘🏼‍♀️.......What shall I do with my teenage son....? He’s a mean table tennis player. Maybe I should get him to teach me that?! 🏓 🧘🏼‍♀️ 🏃‍♀️

Sounds like a good idea! You'll be ready for bed after all that lot 😂

Should we ever say this out loud...but it is possible to use this time in such a positive way. So pleased for you. 🧘🏼‍♀️🧘🏼‍♀️🏅

I just went for a bike ride with my 19 y/o son (and it was his idea, and it was a success). Just a week ago that would have been unimaginable on so many levels. It only took a global pandemic ... 🤔

Now a bike ride with my son is a good idea. he loves to go out on his bike but people have been frowning at him 😔 so I shall join him on his next cycle out.

If he'll have you, the I'd say yes! It's lovely weather for cycling. I'm a big fan. I'm also rubbish at table tennis so it's an easy decision for me to make 😍

Have you found that new sport of “leaving your house to exercise” bashing. I’m sad to say it has become an unkind obsession with a few.

[Hidden in reply to Comfortnotspeed]

Most folks have been fine because those we’ve met are out doing the same. Unfortunately my son came across some unkind individual who muttered and told him he should be at home. He hasn’t been out since. He’s a really sporty teenager so he’s going to be bouncing off the walls if I can’t get him back outside!

[Comfortnotspeed in reply to Hidden]

Going with him would be a great idea 😊

How lovely to be able to share your practice with your daughter.

[Wenderwoo]

It’s great that you can use this strange time in such a positive way! Looking forward to hearing how the match goes 🏓 😁

That's wonderful!

How lovely that you have your children with you during this diffucult time. Mine are a bit older, but I've done yoga with my daughter in the past

Maybe you could convince the men in your house to do yoga too! I don't understand why more men don't do yoga!

I'm trying to convince my golfer husband to do yoga during lockdown, but it isn't working! Still, he has pretty much spring cleaned the house while I'm working full time from home!

[Hidden in reply to Roxdog]

I would love to get my husband doing yoga, but the likelihood of achieving that is remote! Still, you never know...... If we are still hold up together in a few weeks time it might be the best way to keep his blood pressure down!
