Mothers strapped with babies to their breasts poured into the Octopus Garden Holistic Yoga Centre on College Street. I was amazed that they could breastfeed standing up and still maintain a reasonably intelligent conversation.

I remember being frazzled when my first baby was born over 20 years ago. The baby carriers then were not as well designed. I would lie down my tiny daughter on the bed beside the dismantled baby sac. Her legs scrunched up and she screamed at the top of her lungs. I tossed the snuggly thing across the room and pretty much gave up any thought of going outside, convinced that I was destined to stay at home until she was 5.

But these yoga mama chicks today made it look so easy. Are they actually real?
