## About Pre/Postnatal & Athletic Yoga

### Why I Teach Yoga This Way

Yoga isn’t just about touching your toes or perfect poses. For me, it’s really a way to come back to yourself. Whether you’re expecting, just had a baby, or smashing your fitness goals, my classes are about finding your own balance and a little *sukoon* (peace).

### Yoga for Mamas & Mamas-to-Be

I get how every pregnancy and recovery is different. My sessions for pre/postnatal yoga are gentle, slow, and tuned to your body’s changes. We’ll work on:
- Easing common aches
- Pelvic floor yoga for pregnancy
- Breathing that actually helps you relax
After delivery, I’ll help you rebuild core strength and release all that tension from feeding and carrying your little one.

### Yoga for Athletes & Weekend Warriors

As someone who runs too, I know rest days aren’t always just lying around. My style of yoga for runners recovery mixes active stretching with mobility drills so your muscles feel loose, not sore. We’ll use props, do stretches that actually prevent injuries, and focus on moving smarter, not harder.

### What to Expect

No chasing perfection here. My classes are about mindful movement for new mothers and athletes alike. You’ll sweat, you’ll smile, and some days you’ll just want to chill. All good. Let’s show up together and see where the mat takes us.

## Meet your expert

[Richa Kumar](https://mytribe.in/my.yoga.mat)

### My story

Hey, I’m Richa. Yoga is my *sukoon*, my peace, but I’m never just on the mat. You’ll spot my two Shih Tzus hanging around, sometimes stealing the spotlight! Sometimes I’m in a saree at a cultural event, sometimes I’m in jeans laughing with my girls. Balance, that’s my thing. संतुलनम योगस्य प्राण: (balance is the essence of yoga) - whether I’m running a marathon or chilling with family, I’m always learning, always growing. Life’s messy, but that’s what makes it fun.

### My work

- **Yoga Classes for All**: I teach Power Yoga for beginners, aerial yoga, acro yoga for couples, plus pre/postnatal yoga sessions.
- **Practice, Not Perfection**: Every body is welcome. Some days you flow, some days you wobble - that’s real yoga.
- **Props and Play**: We use wheels, straps, blocks and more to help with flexibility and mobility. No boring routines.
- **Grow Together**: Yoga is a conversation, not a lecture. We breathe, learn, and figure it out together, one session at a time.
