Mum breastfeeding while doing yoga is seriously impressive

Practicing yoga is hard enough by yourself, let alone with a one-month-old baby strapped to your chest.

Multi-tasking mum Carlee Benear’s inspiring breastfeeding yoga practice has gone viral on Instagram for all the right reasons.

The 29-year-old mother of three takes photos and videos of her in advanced yoga poses with her youngest child Maramaylee suckling on her bosom.

In an interview with The Huffington Post UK, the Texas woman said combining her love of yoga with breastfeeding her newborn ignited a spark between her and her daughter.

“I flourished in my yoga practice throughout my entire pregnancy,” she said.

“Once my daughter was born, we were inseparable. After a few weeks of staring at her every move I felt the urge to get back on my mat and step back into my practice with this fresh new joy surrounding me.”

“Breastfeeding and caring for a newborn are a full-time job on their own. So, gradually I took her on the mat with me,” Benear said.

“Once we started feeding and flowing, a spark ignited. We were connected again in harmony.”

Her images are absolutely incredible and are nothing short of inspiring, with Benear completely present in her practice while focused on the connection with her baby at the same time.

One photo depicts her with her feet touching her head while her baby sucks on her bosom lying on the mat, while another shows the mum holding her leg up high with one hand while cradling her baby with the other.

Some of Benear’s poses look risky but the yoga guru claims her practice is advanced and she’d never do anything to put her child in danger.

“That’s the funny thing about some poses,” she explained, “It may look impossible to the untrained eye especially, until you discover how it’s done and what your own body is capable of.

“I used to be very clumsy, yoga changed that. Yoga helped me understand gravity and the grace that comes along with it.”

Instagram fans have nothing but good things to say about the breastfeeding yoga mum, going nuts in the comments with encouragement and praise.
