Belly Bowl

In mid November, I had the pleasure of having my first Belly Bowl created. At 38 weeks pregnant, Jen Labie from Leaning Tree Studio and Evolution Yoga & PT, used my baby full belly to create two pottery bowls as a wonderful reminder and keepsake of our second pregnancy. The clay on my belly was cool and as she shaped the mold, it felt like a soothing massage!


The whole process took less than an hour long, and was completely comfortable and fun! Now we are waiting for the finished bowls (takes about 6 weeks) to dried and painted. My husband and daughter came with me, and they were sweet observers and helped choose different colors for the two pieces.


Oh I can't wait to see our Belly Bowls! And they are completely customized, not only with your belly size and shape, colors chosen, but also an engraving at the bottom with the baby's name and birth date! The pictures are from a previous client as we forgot to take our own pictures, so don't forget your camera. I will certainly post our finished Belly Bowls next year... For more information or to schedule your Belly Bowl, email Jen Labie!

Goodbye and Hello

Colorful fall, where have you gone? There are only a few clues left behind, that you were here not to long ago at all. And even though the winter solstice hasn't arrived, the new season is upon us and you are far behind.

With only one more week of teaching, I'm ready to be resting and learning. Another addition to our family will be arriving, and we'll be hibernating while we are all smiling. Welcoming a new season, a new baby, a new soul...So grateful are we to be settled into this precious life, so let it snow!

My maternity leave...

Starts in a couple weeks! As long as the baby doesn't come early, I'll be teaching for two more weeks at Evolution Yoga. My maternity leave begins the week of November 16th and continues through the end of the year. I'm really excited for welcoming our second baby into our world, and taking some time to rest and adjust to our new family of four!

I'll certainly be back to teaching next year, the first week of January 2011. During my absence, Thursday morning Post Natal yoga (10:25am to 11:40am) will be taught by Jenny Sugar, and Saturday morning Vinyasa (9:05am to 10:30am) will be taught by Bill O'Conner. Thank you to these two wonderful teachers!

The Saturday's Pre Natal yoga (12pm to 1:30pm) will be canceled for the remainder of this year, so there are only TWO more classes left. Namaste ~ Petra
