Another fine reason to move one’s studio to Alameda: none of the scheduled power outages will affect the island. (Come to Pilates tomorrow! in other words.)

Also, I have some spots open for the rest of this week. Give me a buzz!

My brilliant friend Bethany at with a perfect and pertinent demonstration of how body alignment changes everything.

. People always are saying things like: “you carry your babies high.” “The shape of your belly means it has such and such gender etc.”
I am quite intrigued, and skeptical of these comments.
You see, in an instant I can change how I carry my baby by shifting one little thing like the placement of my ribs and pelvis. On the left, I am thinking of dropping my ribs and keeping my pelvis neutral. On the right, I thrust my ribs and let my pelvis tilt more anterior. And it totally changes the look, shape and location of the baby.
What I can discern from this:
a) The shape of my belly has nothing to do with the s*x of my child. (Why is everyone so hung up on what type of ge****ls my baby has anyhow?)
b) Alignment impacts how the body carries a pregnancy and this also impacts how we feel, how we birth, and how we heal.
c) This is still relevant in the postpartum time.
d) This is why I teach and make stuff like and the associated video course. Link below...you can visit the website and check out the cards, the video course or get on my mailing list. There is a free PDF sample of Mama Moves Cards when you get on the list too. www.mamamovescards.com
