As my pregnancy progressed I started thinking about how many things were changing all around me. Good things and bad. I noticed my practice taking new challenges, and previous challenges becoming easy as my body changed. It was starting over again on knowing my body. It was as if I was just taking my first class again. Letting go of what I could do before and accepting where I was, was very challenging. My ego had increased to levels I was completely unaware of. Here I was thinking I was a humble yogi and then take away my practice and I was lost!


I had to start practicing what I preach on a deep deep level. How many times have I said in a class or to a student 'don't pay any attention to what others are doing. Accept your own body for where it is in this particular moment'. Wow...CHALLENGE!
 
Remembering back, what I think was the hardest was that I had students who didn't know I was expecting, seeing me take breaks in class and all the while I was thinking that they would think less of me. So much to reflect and learn from this period of my life.
