Yoga has continued to become an amazing avenue for me to learn to communicate with my body and connect with my baby.
During this last stretch, my practices have been more about restorative poses, breathing techniques and just really enjoying the movement within.
As there's much attention drawn to the importance of the strength of pelvic floor muscles (PFM) during pregnancy and labor, it is equally important to learn to RELAX these muscles.
A smart and healthy muscle knows when to engage and when to relax and THIS takes a lot of practice. With constant practice of proper breathwork (plus imagery for me) and some essential relaxation arsenals, learning to connect your breath to your PFM is possible and highly beneficial, not just for birth prep but even for daily grind.
Our bodies, no matter what season it is in, is absolutely amazing. So, let's continue to connect, communicate, appreciate and learn about our intricately designed and intentional bodies ♡
