The members of the Fathering Forum do not pretend to be experts; we are a growing grassroots team of men from all walks of life, with different backgrounds, opinions, beliefs, re …

Yoga and meditation is perfect workout for mommies (dads are welcome too). It helps to build muscles especially at the navel, it grounds us into the moment and relaxation and meditation helps relax our strained nerves.
