Bunny YOGA with Meka, Isabella & Giselle

A couple of weeks ago, I woke up and started reading an article about Meka Leach, who became the youngest certified Bhakti yoga teacher in the U.S. at the age of 10!  It took her 200 hours and over 9 months to complete her certification while also attending school and training to compete in the national fencing championship.  Meka's parents told her she was too young to be a yoga instructor and she proved them wrong.  I was absolutely moved by her hard work, dedication and drive!  I learned that she offers yoga classes in our area and she was doing a "bunny" yoga.

I asked Giselle and Isabella if they wanted to go to bunny yoga and they said YES.  They had never been to a yoga class before and couldn't believe that a 10 year old was teaching.  There were about five bunnies total that hopped around the room while Meka guided us in yoga.  At first, Giselle was really nervous about the bunnies going near her, however by the end of the class she warmed up to them and they were surrounding her.  Bella wasn't really interested in the yoga portion of the class, she just wanted to play with the bunnies.

Meka made a homemade bunny for every attendee to take home with a kind note reminding everyone to give themselves and others a compliment daily.  The girls have been giving compliments daily ever since.  We had a super special morning together and when I asked the girls if they wanted to do yoga again, Isabella said no and Giselle said yes.  Since that class, Giselle and I have taken 4 other yoga classes together.
