What is mommy baby yoga?
You and your baby are becoming stronger. This class will increase your energy and build your strength. You will help your baby in increasing their strength in preparation for crawling. This class will also prepare and guide you to build on your yoga practice. As your baby becomes more mobile, they will really enjoy climbing on you during standing poses. They will even be able to do yoga poses with you. In this class baby is three months through one year, but not walking. If your baby begins to walk during this class, we will embrace his milestone and all of the other babies can learn from them!

What should baby and I wear?
Loose comfortable clothing is recommended for all class levels. Sports bras and apparel are not necessary, unless of course you love to wear them. You baby should be comfortable in basic cotton apparel. Onesies and cotton bottoms (or no bottoms if temperature allows) are ideal.

What will I need to bring?
A yoga mat for you and a blanket for your baby (yoga mats are available at CNY Healing Arts).

What if my baby is hungry during the class?
You and your baby’s needs come first. Our class will be an environment where you do not have do be uneasy. You are welcome to move to the side, to change or feed your baby.

What if my baby is fussy and cries?
After a few classes, your baby will begin to relax into the environment. It is normal for your baby to fuss, especially when they are on their belly. Comfort her and try again. No worries.

As anyone in Skaneateles, NY or the surrounding area can attest to, we have been experiencing some AWESOME weather this April. These temps and sunshine make my days very unproductive. I sneak off in the mornings for a bike ride, come back out of breath and sore (still getting back in shape). Find it hard to concentrate on the days when I don’t get out for a bike ride. I generally just want to spend my whole day outside, which of course I can not

I found a local blog today MichaelErb.net and the most recent article is right up my alley. He even created a local biking map (which I intend to bike) through a website where people share their biking routes - Very Cool!! Below is his bike map - get out there and try it or create your own!!

It seems that the blogging bug is really catching in Skaneateles, NY - GREAT! There is a new fashion blog on the block being written by Bella Blue, many new blogs on our own SkanTalk User Blogs section, and also another local farmer blogging about their farm and market that operates from a historical building in Borodino (more on this little treasure later

This past week-end Sean Kirst wrote an article on Syracuse.com about the subset of local people/businesses that have embraced blogging. He mentioned Meg Brooks blog and also our very own SkanTalk blog. Apparently a few years back there was a gathering of local bloggers at the State Fair. Sean and a few others are trying to organize another bloggers get together and they want you to let them know what you think. You can check out the article HERE and if you are interested in getting together with other local bloggers e-mail Sean Kirst.

I received a copy of the local magazine The Good Life: Central New York Magazine in the mail yesterday. While leafing through it I found a great feature article on Skaneateles’ own Joelle’s French Bistro (Wiki). The owner’s are a husband and wife team - Alain Castel and chef Joelle Mollinger. They opened the restaurant, just 3 miles north of Skaneateles, a little over a year ago. Johanna Keller, the author of the feature article, provides some background information on the owners of the bistro.

“Castel, the son of a chef, was born in a family from Antibes, lived in Nigeria and later worked in restaurants in Paris. After relocating to the United States, he founded two restaurants in Manhattan - Pigalle and the Country Caf in SoHo. Eventually tiring of the city life, he and his wife headed Upstate. Castel welcomes every guest at the front door of Joelle’s with the kind if elan that comes from lifelong experience in the business.

Trained originally as a lawyer, chef Joelle Mollinger gained experience cooking in Paris. In 1990, she arrived in Manhattan, where she started her own restaurant before meeting and partnering with Castel. Mollinger’s cooking emphasizes French classics, local produce, and fresh fish brought in from Boston. The inclusion of some excellent dishes from Morocco derives from time she spent there in her early life.”

If you haven’t already visited Joelle’s French Bistro to sample the cuisine, now with a little more information on the owner’s backgrounds maybe you will be motivated to venture there and try something. They are open for lunch, brunch, and dinners and recommend calling for reservations - 315-685-0345 or 315-685-3063.
