Today I had the pleasure of being celebrated along with all of the other moms at my daughter's preschool. We had a lovely tea party, and they gifted us with beautiful cards and those adorable "about my mom" sheets filled out by the kids. It made me think about how blessed I feel to be a mama to my 3 beautiful littles. As they grow and change, each day is a new adventure and when I step into presence with them on that journey the days become longer, the colors become brighter and the magic is abound. My children are my greatest teachers; each and every day I learn so much about who they are, who I am, and how I can be a better version of myself and a better mom too. To all of my mama friends out there, this one is for you, the Mother's Day Dance. If you missed the first post in this series, be sure to have a look as it will give you the background you need to best use the new addition to our Sun Dance Series.
Stretch up high, wave to your mom
(Standing in mountain pose, reach arms up & wave)
Hang down low, tickle her toes
(Forward fold, reaching down towards your toes & tickle them)
Feet jump back, to cuddle with mom
(Bend your knees, place your hands down and jump or step your feet back to plank)
Get down low, we’ll play hide n’ seek
(Bending at the elbows, lower your body down to the ground and move from side to side)
Look up and around,
(Press the hands into the ground, to straighten the arms into cobra pose)
Now behind and down
(Knees under hips, curl the toes under & shift into downward dog)
And breath, and breathe, and breathe
(Take 3 big breaths in through the nose and out through the nose)
Feet jump up, mom’s spotted you
(Hop the feet up, into a frog squat)
Hang down low, pick up a rose
(Forward fold, reaching down towards your toes)
Stretch up high, pass your flower to mom as she comes by
(Coming to stand, reach both arms up over head, pretending to pass mom a flower)
Now, I love you pose (self hug)
(Cross one arm over the other, reaching for opposite shoulders and imagine giving your mom a hug!)

Have a beautiful weekend celebrating your role as a mother, and the woman who taught you to be who you are too! With a full heart, shining all my love to you for a Happy Mother's Day.
Be Bright, Be Bold, Be YOU!
