⚡️Yoga With Dia on YouTube⚡️ is back!

I launched this channel almost exactly three years ago with a complete 30 days of yoga offering called Yoga Party! But shortly after that I found out I was pregnant with my daughter and well…I got tired.

I remain tired ( ) but it feels more important than ever to offer something sweet, useful, and FREE to my community + the world. 🌎

Our new practice goes live tomorrow morning and I’ll continue to post new practices EVERY SUNDAY for the rest of the year. Be sure to check out on and and all that cute stuff.✌️

Happy practicing!

Prenatal yoga is a powerful way to keep your physical, mental, and emotional wellbeing in balance throughout your pregnancy.

I first published this blog post two summers ago, but thought I’d bring it back today as a gentle reminder that while OF COURSE you can keep going to your regular yoga classes once you realize you’re pregnant, there is something really cool and special about creating the space to honor this unique time in your life along side other people in the same boat.

You have to practice scales before you can play a sonata, and you have to repeat many mantras before you can become absorbed in pure sound. Likewise, we have to practice many asanas, and many vinyasas, in order to enter into the flow of awareness. -E. Stern, One Simple Thing

Let’s practice this week:

9/12 Power Flow @ 10am

Any of my new parent friends out there feel like returning to pre-baby activities is more cosplay than reality these days? 🙃 Nevertheless, I’m grateful and looking forward to sharing breath and intention with you this week!

It’s gonna be a hot and humid week here in NYC! Whether you are pregnant or not, a little legs-up-the-wall moment is a sure way to cool down and help relieve swelling in the feet and legs. 🥵

Non-pregnant folks and anyone in their first trimester can lay on their back and pop both legs up on their nearest wall or couch. 5-10 minutes will do the trick!

Second/third trimester friends will like this side-lying , which helps to ensure good blood flow as belly and baby grow. 5 minutes each side.

Catch me in-studio this week:


6/13 Prenatal Yoga 6:30pm
6/16 Prenatal Yoga (sub) 10am


6/17 Prenatal Yoga 9:30am
