Postpartum is a season for healing, not rushing. My sessions focus on gentle, supported Iyengar yoga to help you rebuild strength, address pelvic floor health, and reconnect with your body at your own pace.

My postpartum yoga practice has become more intuitive and mature. This video from a trip to Sri Lanka reflects that shift. It's not about "bouncing back" but about growing into a new version of myself, finding quiet confidence and authentic movement.

Yoga now is about using whatever I can find, even a backpack for a prop. This clip shows my reality of postpartum practice: fitting in movement whenever I can, sometimes just breathing, sometimes just watching my daughter play. It's about finding yoga in the small moments.

This photo captures the feeling that yoga is within me more than ever before. Postpartum healing is a journey of becoming someone new, and my practice has evolved to support that. The asanas are returning slowly, but with a new depth and understanding.

Postpartum practice isn't about strength, it's about the ability to breathe and show up for yourself. In this chat, Agi Wittich explains how supported Iyengar postures help a new mother's nervous system re-regulate itself in a quiet, inner effort.

For me, every day is yoga day. This video shows snippets of my postpartum sessions, from gentle twists on the mat to finding movement and joy in the water. It's a journey of getting stronger, fitter, and happier, one day at a time.

Intense workouts during pregnancy and early postpartum can do more harm than good, increasing the risk of Diastasis Recti. This infographic explains why smart, intentional movement is more important than intensity for long-term core health.

I recently visited a pelvic floor specialist, and it was an incredibly insightful experience. In this video, I share the three main things she checked: diastasis recti, internal pelvic muscle function, and my C-section scar healing. I encourage all women to get this checked.

This infographic highlights five essential insights about pelvic floor health that every woman should know. Early intervention, ideally within 6 weeks postpartum, can significantly enhance recovery and prevent long-term issues.

Awareness gaps exist around pelvic floor health due to a lack of referrals and cultural stigmas. Many women suffer from untreated symptoms like incontinence and chronic pain, which is why I advocate for open conversations and professional guidance.

Empower your wellness journey with these five essential insights about pelvic floor health. Understanding the importance of early care, recognizing warning signs, and seeking expert advice is foundational to your overall well-being.

About Postpartum Yoga: Gentle Recovery & Reconnection

Forget the pressure to 'bounce back.' In my postpartum sessions, we prioritize nervous system regulation over intensity, which means you can practice even on days when you are exhausted. We use Iyengar props like belts, bolsters, and chairs to support your skeletal structure, allowing you to release deep-seated tension and address issues like diastasis recti or pelvic floor weakness without overstraining muscles that are still healing.
