Ever felt unsure how to truly support a pregnant student when they walk into class?This episode is part personal reflection, part teaching resource. I’m sharing my own second trimester journey—not just to document it, but to help yoga teachers feel more confident, compassionate, and informed when it comes to teaching pregnancy.
Whether you’re pregnant yourself, teaching pregnant students, or simply curious about the behind-the-scenes of this season, there’s something here for you.
In this episode, we talk about common symptoms, surprises + scary moments, and how pregnancy continues to shift my relationship with practice and teaching.
Specifically, we chat about:
🤐 Why the first trimester feels so lonely—and how the energy shifts when you can finally share
✨ From glowing skin to growing belly—what makes this stage feel more “real”
💙 The gender reveal moment that brought both joy and a surprising wave of emotion🩺 The health scare that sent me down a Google rabbit hole and what the specialist said that helped me breathe
🍩 The test I failed that might change my prenatal care—and why it wasn’t a total shock🧘🏻♀️ How this pregnancy is changing my yoga practice (and what’s straight-up off the table)
🔥 The pain that’s topping my complaint list—and how it’s changing the way I move
🤯 Why being pregnant doesn’t automatically make me feel qualified to teach prenatal📚 The training I still haven’t taken—and why I think I want to now
👶🏼 Looking ahead to third trimester, postpartum, and my plans for birth and beyond
