Jan. 9, 2011 - PRLog -- So it’s the New Year! It’s 2011, hard to believe. Since Casey had her daughter five years ago, it’s seems that life in the fast lane has truly begun, it’s hard to keep track of it all.

Kids Yoga Guide in September of 2010 as a way to share and educate about my love of all things about Kids and Yoga. For Casey yoga IS a way of life and so is her daughter, Grace. Bringing them together was a natural process. In the last year or so a union (yoga), transformation has taken place. Her daughter Grace has become a YOGINI! Grace has been practicing yoga all her life, yet now it’s become a part of who she is (at least with Casey and at here home.

It’s a New Year, and so a goal to share with their weekly on going adventures. In the Jivamukti Yoga style there is a focus of the month, click here http://www.funandhealthylifestyles.com/?p=1671 to see it! Casey thought what a great way to connect these teachings into kids yoga and share my writings about her adventures. Today Casey shares with you the 3 steps (her version) of being a householder yogi.

Simplicity
Given that the holidays have just ended our house if full of fun gifts, from Zhu Zhu pets to dolls, games and art projects, but the truth is to K.I. S.S. it, (Keep it Simple Sweeti)
A good friend of Casey’s that she connected with in a Breakthrough class at the Mile Hi Church (Spiritual Center) gave me a gift, a Zen Garden.  Grace found it and begged and pleaded with Casey to set it up, so she could play with it. She simply spent a half hour raking the sand, creating a mini fort with the rocks, and being mindful. She was Zen. It was truly peaceful to see her soften in this way.

Sponge
Children are sponges. This is both a good and bad thing. If you expose them to a lot of TV, video games and negative influences, then they become what they experience in their environment. The same is true with exposing them to positive, happy and helpful influences. Today, as Grace was enjoying the Zen garden, Casey heard her singing quietly under her breath. It took Casey a few minutes to decipher what she was singing. I am happy, I am good, I am happy, I am good, Sat Nam sat nam sat nam ji, waheguru waheguru waheguru ji  

Casey was so excited. About two weeks ago, She was reviewing a  Kids Yoga DVD for her web site and we did some of it together, watched some and simply played while it was on. It’s called “Shanti the Yogi” by Snatuam Kaur (see the review on my web site here).  Shanti means Peace, the story is of a young girl on a mountain adventure. She practices yoga, chants, and meditates along the way. Needless to say Casey has a HAPPY sponge!

Support
One year ago, Casey stepped into Mile Hi Church and was welcomed home, by many yogi like-minded people. There Casey found positive energy, inspiring music, amazing people, all traveling their own paths, and many who supported her on her path.  One of her favorite people there is Reverend Barry Ebert. He was very supportive of a relationship that I had that ended last year as well as her parenting, he’s an amazing Love and Logic teacher. Grace absolutely loves him and his fun music! This week Grace made sure that we gave him our Happy New Year Card with a picture of the two of them on it. “It’s so wonderful to know that good people are praying for you while challenging times are happening, and that they are holding the space for the highest good to be revealed, especially when you can’t see it yourself.”

All this happened in a day. It was a beautiful and fulfilling day for Casey, yet also a sad day as Grace heads out to dad’s for a few days.  Casey feels to good to have this kind of day after spending 8 days together and her not seeing her dad during this time.  That last week was busy, they enjoyed a Christmas together on the December 26th and numerous little fun outings with family (the Hudson Lights, Wildlife Adventure, The Children’s Museum) yoga classes, and business meetings too (thankfully other single yoga moms, who had their kids there as well).

Casey is grateful for the three S’s in my life this week and to start the new year off right. Thank you simplicity, sponge and support!

Namaste & Play
