Our Prenatal Yoga Class is Shaping Up to Be a Beautiful Group of Expecting Mamas! This week we have been diving deeper into understanding and connecting with the pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscle ligaments and connective tissues that form a supportive structure at the base of the pelvis. It is also called the pelvic diaphragm because it is a dome shaped muscular sheet that separates the pelvic cavity from the perennial region below.

The pelvic floor is responsible for several key functions in the body.

❤️Providing stability to the pelvis and lower back.

❤️Maintaining the position of the pelvic organs of the bladder, uterus, and re**um.

❤️Controlling urinary and bowel functions.

❤️They also play a significant role in sexual arousal, function and pleasure during in*******se.

Pelvic floor health is important for pregnancy and childbirth because a strong and flexible pelvic floor supports the growing baby, aids in optimal fetal positioning and the descent and delivery of the baby during labor. It reduces the risk of tearing or trauma during birth and improves postpartum recovery. It also helps prevent incontinence, sexual dysfunction and pelvic organ prolapse.

Even if you aren't carrying a baby, Pelvic Floor Health creates the foundation for a strong healthy and mobile body.

Our First Prenatal Yoga Class is 6pm TONIGHT at True Nature Wellness Downtown Sandusky!!! I am so excited to connect, share and support the mothers in my local community!

Tonight we will be setting the foundation for our practices together. We will talk a little bit about what prenatal yoga is, the benefits, the format and what to expect in the class as well as some contraindications for safe practice. This class is truly an opportunity for mothers to slow down and connect with themselves, their growing babies and each other!

I am so excited to be offering Prenatal Yoga at True Nature Wellness this year! If you know me and have followed my journey you know that prenatal yoga is near and dear to my heart. I practice prenatal yoga through both of my pregnancies with my two boys and completed my prenatal / postnatal yoga training in 2020 while I was pregnant with my youngest son Dakota!
💞
Prenatal yoga has so many benefits for expecting mothers helping support and prepare them for the transformational process of bringing a new life into the world. I feel honored to be able to create a safe space for women to come together, connect, practice and learn.
💞
Prenatal Yoga Classes will be held at 6pm on Sundays starting February 1 - May 10th (Mother’s Day). There is no yoga experience and no registration required. You can purchase classes online or in person at the studio. Mats and props will be available for our use. I look forward to supporting you on your journey!

The energy of the earth is rising and our consciousness is rising with it. As you tune into the collective you can feel the intensity building. Solar flares and geomagnetic storms are quickening. The global climate is shifting. There is political uncertainty, civil unrest, revolutions and disclosures that are occurring.
Bringing to the surface that which needs to be seen and amplifying the voices that need to be heard.

There is a purification process happening through our growing awareness. A burning away of the old to make way for the new. We are breaking free from systems of oppression that have kept us separated and disempowered. We are rising up as a people, remembering our humanity and interconnectedness. We are being called to listen to our inner knowing, the passion that burns within each of us. To have the courage to show up and take inspired action in a way that feels aligned with our soul’s purpose. We each have unique gifts to bring to this world. A story and a perspective that provides a greater understanding of the grand design. That will allow others to see things in a new way. The ego driven mentality of every man for himself is an unsustainable way of life driving isolation, competition and corruption. Our oneness is calling us back to interdependence, supporting one another through community, empathy, connection with spirit and right relationship with the Earth.

Change is a constant in this reality and we can either choose to be that change or get swept away in our resistance to it. As we enter into this phase of quickening, as a world we once knew begins to contract and collapse around us, we are birthing into the unknown. It is up to us to hold on to hope, to come together, to envision a new earth, have the courage to lead and sow the seeds of a future we wish to see. ✨🌏✨

MOTIVATION VS DISCIPLINE

I just got out of my 9:30AM hot yoga class in Westlake with my favorite teacher Katie Brown! I enjoy going to a power yoga class here once a week because it pushes me out of my comfort zone, challenging me to do postures I don’t normally do in the comfort of my home practice. These classes focus on building strength and stability while training ourselves to lean into discomfort and breathe through challenges.

She shared with us that her son, who is a freshman in high school, was doing a project comparing motivation vs. discipline and gave us some insight about the difference between the two.

She said motivation is typically externally focused. It is like the spark that gets us started. The excitement to begin that gets the ball rolling. I like to think of it like the vision we have for ourselves for the future. The burning desire of what we want for ourselves and our lives. For me that is a stronger body, the courage to share my story and the belief in myself to show up for others.

While, discipline is more internally focused. It is doing the work to keep that inner fire lit. Choosing to show up even when you don’t want to, even when it’s hard because you made that commitment to yourself. For me that means coming to my mat everyday (even if it’s just to sit and breathe.) This year it means journaling my daily reflections and connecting to my inner voice. It means sharing honestly and vulnerably even if it’s messy and imperfect.

This reflection relates to the Niyama or self observances of the science of yoga. Specifically the third Niyama of Tapas which means self discipline. Self discipline and the commitment to your practice and passion is what shapes your character, burning away the impurities of who we are not so that you can show up as who we are meant to be.

If you are interested in igniting and building that inner fire, I want to invite you to join me in downtown Sandusky at 8AM on Wednesday mornings for Elemental Yoga. During this season we are focusing on the Fire Element and Solar Plexus, with practices that building heat, power and strength.❤️‍🔥

2016 > 2026

I’ve kept a lot of my healing journey to myself over the years. It’s been a deeply personal and slow process. Much of the time I couldn’t put into words what I was going through. Yoga has been the catalyst that has initiated the transformation of my life. A practice that has always been able to meet me where I was at, in every cycle and season. Yoga has carried me through the last 10+ years of my life continuously guiding me back to my truth allowing me to build a deeper connection with myself and with spirit. The way yoga has worked for me is by calming my body and mind enough to allow me to turn within, process my emotions and see myself more clearly. The longer I’ve practiced the more aware of myself and my own patterns I’ve become.

Self awareness is what allows change to unfold. You start to understand why you do the things that you do and it gives you the power to make a different choice. Allowing unhealthy patterns to fall away hasn’t been easy but it has allowed me to show up in my life with more presence, patience, compassion and faith. Reflecting on my journey the last 10 years is beyond the poses in these pictures. Yoga has become a devotion, a way of life that has given me the skills to embody the highest version of myself, to show up with authenticity, share my gifts and be of service to others.

This year I am choosing to have the courage to share more of my journey. 2026 is the Year of Speaking My Truth! What are you anchoring in this year?
