Whether you’re working hard to become pregnant or it’s the biggest surprise of your life, learning you’re expecting brings a wave

of questions and considerations, especially regarding your hot yoga and Pilates practice.

To continue practicing or not, that is the question.

There is a specific Bikram Yoga Pregnancy series designed to strengthen and support changing bodies and, growing a little human! In the pregnancy series certain poses that could be contraindicated during pregnancy are avoided and either you rest or they are replaced with poses that offer more support, health, vitality and wellness during pregnancy, labor and delivery.

With May being Mental Health Awareness month, I wanted to personally shine the light on the mental aspects of the mind we develop every time we take a 26 and 2 hot yoga class.

Every time you step on your mat, along with the dripping sweat, improved range of motion, and all the other goodies, you practice and develop faith, concentration, self-control, determination, and patience, which brings equanimity to the mind.
