Hey friends! This is going to be a long, but important post…

My parents were in a terrible car accident about 2 weeks ago. They suffered serious injuries that required surgeries, and my mom will be in a wheel chair for 3-6 months. I have taken on the responsibility of caring for my nieces (who my parents raise) full time, while also caring for my mom and stepdad.

Due to this drastic life change I will be implementing some changes for the time being.

⚠️Please read carefully:

Yoga classes are cancelled until further notice. I hope to start classes back asap, but I am just unsure of when that will be.

I will be taking a break from posting educational content. This is a hard one for me….. I love providing FREE easy to read education for my clients and everyone who follows my page. I promise I will be back to posting soon!!

I am still doulaing, however, my books are for 2025 are pretty much full. I have a November spot open and that is it. If you are in need of a doula for 2025, still reach out as I have some amazing referrals.

My books for 2026 are OPEN. These spots will go fast, as I am already booking into January and February. If you are interested in doula services for 2026, reach out asap.

I know that was a lot…. If you have questions/concerns please feel free to message me. I will still be working, just not posting. I hope to be back in full swing soon. Thank you SO much for your love, patience, and understanding during this tough time.

Yoga tip of the week:

Savor your Savasana 😴

Savasan is the time in class for you to relax your body and mind before the end of your practice. Savasana can be one of the trickiest poses to master. It is normal in today’s life to be constantly thinking, planning, worrying. Savasana challenges you to tune inward; focus on your breath, body, and releasing tension.

We have class every Thursday and 2 Saturday’s per month! Message me to sign up 🫶

Namaste 🧘‍♀️

Your birth space/environment matters. Why?

When moms feel comfortable and safe while in labor, labor hormones (oxytocin) flow more freely. The body does not release adrenaline, which can stall labor

This is a primal instinct that God has given us to be able to birth our babies’ naturally. So, how do we advocate for this in the hospital?

〰️ Leave labor room lights low/off
〰️ Turn off any unnecessary monitors
〰️ Add ambiance lighting
〰️ Diffuse essential oils
〰️ Play your favorite music
〰️ Play a comfort show
〰️ Bring pillows/blanket from home
〰️ Hire a doula to do most of this for you 😅

Having boundaries is super important in business. I am irrecplacable at home with my babies, so I have made the tough decision to drop Tuesday yoga classes (for now). I hope to bring back more classes in the future, but this is what’s best for me and my family right now! Thank you guys for your patience and understanding 💜

Most of the moms I meet with describe their OB appointments as follows:

1. Your provider will quickly look over your chart before your appointment
2. Ask you if you have any questions
3. Go over any diagnoses and/or mandated policy and protocol that is appropriate for your gestation
4. Listen to your baby
5. Measure your belly
6. Order any tests/bloodwork (if needed)

Why is that?

Because of the vast number of patients that OB offices care for, it is IMPOSSIBLE to sit down and privately educate patients on all things pregnancy, labor, and birth. This is why education and support outside of your OB office is SO important. Our health system today is not setup to educate patients.

So how can I ensure I am educated for labor and birth?
- Hire a doula
- Take a childbirth education class
- Listen to podcasts
- Read books
- Look up YouTube birth vlogs

Education is POWER y’all!!! ⚡️

The core of yoga is not about how flexible you are or how perfect a pose looks in your body. The main goal in yoga is being able to connect your movement with breath, finding inner peace and strength through meditation, & creating freedom in your body. Think of your yoga practice as a lifestyle, not just a quick fix.

Today were are talking about PROM…. And no, not the fun high school dance. 😅

PROM or {premature rupture of membranes} is when your amniotic sac breaks before active labor starts. 💦

What causes PROM? There really are no sure ways of knowing what causes your water to break before labor. Some studies show that weekly vaginal exams and membrane sweeps *may* impact PROM.

So, what are your options if this happens to you?

Induction (active management)
or
Wait for labor (expectant management).

The common option in hospitals today is induction. However, in most cases, you do have another option.

Waiting up to 2 days for labor to start is an evidence-based option if you meet this criteria:
- Full term, low risk pregnancy, 1 baby
- Clear amniotic fluid
- No infection, GBS negative
- Normal fetal heart rate
- No/minimal vaginal exams

If you do experience PROM here are some things that might get labor going:
- Ni**le stimulation
- Acupressure
- Moving your body

So, just like with anything, you have some options here. It is important to do your own research, consult with your trusted provider, and come to the decision that feels right for you and your baby.

In yoga, it is super important to lead with a sense of humor. 😆 When you go into class with no pressure on yourself and the ability to laugh at yourself, new and awkward poses don’t feel so bad! Smiling and having fun through your practice will allow your body to be more relaxed and encourage success! ☺️💪

To prep for labor and birth, it is important to visualize and plan for the birth you desire. Mind over matter and all that….. BUT what if the labor you desire, is not your reality? How can you still have an empowering birth when things do not go as planned?

Here are some helpful tips:
- Find peace in knowing that we can plan, BUT GOD. God’s plan is always best. Lead with an open mind.
- Exhaust all possible options. Do the position changes, the circuits, the movement, do it ALL.
- Have open communication with your provider about all of your preferences.
- Have preferences for induction & cesarean in case things do not go as planned.
- Hire a doula for emotional, educational, and physical support.

Interventions are not inherently bad. They are tools in the tool box that can be used when needed.

We all want the picture perfect birth (whatever that looks like for you), but often times, it does not happen the way we plan. With education and advocacy, you can have some control, in an uncontrollable situation.

To the mamas who did not have the birth they desired, I see, I feel you, I am you. 💜
