Part 4 

Pregnancy turned everything upside down.
One unexpected.
One in a pandemic.
One right after.

Motherhood felt like being tossed at sea—no time to breathe, let alone be.

But eventually… I found my step.
I returned to the mat.
I found a community.
I built rhythm, routine, and strength.

Motherh...

Part 3 

Eventually, I came back.
To my hometown.
To my family.
To familiar streets and faces that hadn’t changed—though I had.

The mind body connection is the communication between your thoughts and your feelings. It is a constant feedback loop, as in how we feel affects what we think and vice versa. This mind body connection is so profound, but especially in prenatal and postpartum care. When you are birthing your child, t...

Like yoga, my journey with pilates started years ago. Did you have those Winsor Pilates DVDs at your house? I think they were on the shopping channel. Anyways, we had them at our house. I tried them many times, but it was hard. I didn’t like it, so I didn’t keep up with it. As you know, my guiding...
