Innate Yoga
Another of my bizarre theories is that we’re born knowing yoga. Baby Guppy did an extraordinary bound angle pose this morning. Last week, I was watching 3yo Drake at the park. He flopped down, and I thought, oh, look, he’s in plank position. He then moved his chest forward into upward dog, then shifted his weight back into downward dog, doing the moves in sequence from a sun salute. And no, I don’t and haven’t done these yoga poses in front of him. I tried to teach him triangle pose, and that was a complete flop. But every so often he’ll bust out another move, so I continue to believe that yoga classes merely remind us of skills our bodies have forgotten from childhood.
