prenatal proprioception ::: Go ahead, reach out and touch yourself. 👋 I love offering movement in prenatal yoga that allow students to use their own touch to increase awareness of how their bodies are moving (or not moving). ::: This little flow from my prenatal class is inspired by the always brilliant @jenni_rawlings, using the strap as a way to sense how the back is held or moving in this motion that is intended to activate the glutes and back body. It’s common that the spine may want to cat/cow to make the leg move, but with the sensory feedback of the strap on the back, we ask the glutes, also known “your pelvic floor’s BFF” (thanks for those words @from_your_center) to turn on more intentionally. ::: Of course these practices extend off the mat as well. Proprioception can also be useful in the process of birth. I remember in my 3rd birth, having a crisis about an hour into pushing and feeling like my work in the 2nd stage of labor had not been effective. I was able to voice my doubt and my midwife asked me to see if I could feel my babies head, and sure enough, babies head was descended well into my vagina, nearing crowning...crisis resolved and my confidence was restored that my pushing was indeed productive. ::: How have used your own touch in yoga or other facets of your life? #prenatalyoga #movementnerd #yogastrap #proprioception #yogapearl #pelvicfloorhealth #onestrongmama

Just a little Sunday night motivation to send you into the week... love these works for Beth Berry. ❤️🙌 #Repost @revolutionfromhome ・・・ For years, I thought that being a “good mom” meant getting everything “right.” But it’s not actually possible, trying is exhausting (even soul fire dampening) and perfectionism—in this age of Snapchat filters and selfie obsession and Photoshopped everything—is the LAST thing our kids need modeled for them. Now, my goal is for my girls to see me living my best life (which looks radically different from a “perfected” one). My goal is to provide them with examples of messy, heartfelt, all-in, real, raw GOOD LIVIN’. I believe they need this more than they need private school or all-organic food or even trips to Mexico (though I sure am itchin’ to get them abroad again). Me shining means their paths are being illuminated. Win/win. . . . . #nojudgment #doityourway #imperfectparenting #messymotherhood #consciousparenting #naturalchildhood #revolutionfromhome #soulfire #soulfulparenting #antiperfection #antiperfectparenting #goodenoughparenting #yogaisparenting #goodenough #mindfulmamas #mondaymantra

postpartum flowing Just one year ago... Only 12 weeks post birth... I miss that soft belly of mine, still ripe from pregnancy. I know we’re done building our family, but oh, how my womb aches some days, longing for that sweetness and wonder of it all. So today, I let the baby nap in the carrier with me, instead of putting him down. Just holding on to these sweet moments a little bit longer. 🥰💗 🎶: @mamusemusic #takebackpostpartum #12weeksold #babyyoga #homepractice #kiragrace #wombache #postpartum #4thtrimester #4thtriyoga

New moon vibes. 🌑 Dreaming big and yet these dreams are not so big that they don’t feel close and tangible. Seeing things align. Witnessing synchronicity. Since the birth of #geronimomoon, my third and final boy, the day before my 35th birthday, 7 years after Saturn returns, I have felt a huge surge of creative energy, have had wild ideas, have felt creative urges to dance and paint, but have had those energies muddled by the postpartum haze. At nearly 15 months postpartum, it feels the energy is shifting. I woke up before the baby this morning, riddled with excitement. Just tending the baby seeds of some of my dreams. Feeling afraid to even call them out sometimes... But like a good gardener (which I’m not 😂) trying to tend to the environment to create the right space for these dreams to start to sprout. Exciting. Terrifying. Trying to trust. And be patient. Anyone else feeling like they are on the precipice of something too? pc: @christycassano #birth #newmoon #ardhachandrasana #babyyoga #108daypilgrim #yogapearl #intentions #holymotherhood
