Who Am I?

As women in our society we pride ourselves on being strong, competent, and go-getters (at least some of us do). We make a plan and then make it happen. Then comes pregnancy.

This week I met with a new mom (19 weeks) who has a strong Vinyasa practice. We sat down to talk about....what do I do now? What is happening to me? Why can't I do what I used to do? What should I change? I listened to her anxieties: the extreme changes her body is going through to create a new life and the sometimes extreme adjustment it takes to get used to it.

Moms have shared with me:

• the inability to think clearly, aka "momnesia"
• soreness in places you didn't know could be sore
• anxiety
• insomnia
• fear

As yoginis we are on a constant quest for the Self. Through all experience, emotional influences, and physical challenges we search. So through this intense, amazing, and unique experience of pregnancy, childbirth, and motherhood you will continue along your path on your quest. 

The constant throughout life is breathing. 

So BREATHE NOW.

That's all. 

Give yourself and your child the gift of prana.
