10. I LOVE the tension through my neck and shoulders… it’s what holds my head up after another night of not sleeping!
9. The fog in my head that lasts till my second cup of coffee is all comfy-cozy… like one of those Snuggies they advertise on TV.
8. My stiff joints mean I can stay home and watch sports on the tube… I don’t actually have to DO them.
7. I’ve been breathing since birth, thank you very much… like I need to LEARN how!
6. Tranquility is over-rated. How would my kids possibly get anything done if I wasn’t yelling at them?
5. My extra body fat keeps me warm in winter.
4. I don’t do any heavy lifting… that’s why I have kids.
3. Stress gets me to work in the morning… without it, I don’t know that I’d be motivated to get out of bed.
2. Counting the days until my next poop is my new hobby.
1.5 There’s no bigger compliment than when people mistake me for my mother.
1. Do you think I’m even going to think of putting another dime in the pockets of those glorified pyjama jockeys?

Finally… a school district that has actually taken on the “higher” in higher learning!
A British Columbia school district has approved, among other courses such as Musical Theatre and Outdoor Pursuits, yoga in an effort to address kids’ interest and demand.
According to Superintendent Jan Unwin, “the wide variety of courses is intended to keep kids in school by offering them something they will be interested in.”
This marks a new era in education (finally!?) as those interests that were once considered ‘alternative’, particularly given the spiritual component to something like yoga, are now seen as so positive and constructive as to be considered part of a public school curriculum.
Yoga has proven benefits in the areas of self-esteem and healthy body image, two critical aspects of children’s development, particularly for girls.
Introducing adolescents to the power and beauty of yoga really only introduces and reinforces the power and beauty in themselves…
which is something everyone needs!
Good on School District No. 42 for recognizing it!

The ubiquitous yoga ball. I have three. I offer them a guilt-ridden, never used you for anything other than corner dressing loving glance everytime I pass them stacked precariously in the playroom.
But, as a homeschooling mom of three- two of them active, boisterous boys- I will certainly look at my otherwise under-utilized orbs (minds out of gutters, people!) a little differently after reading this.
It’s remarkable, really…
Kids learn better balancing on yoga balls.
Right on… from pummelling each other with them to actually sitting and learning on them. Hello, Monday!
