The way the world functions works through women. Our world moves through seasons. Similarly, women go through different phases in their monthly cycle that correlate with the seasons of nature. As women, when we understand the way our menstrual cycle works (even in perimenopause and menopause), we are able to better understand ourselves, especially our moods, our energy levels, and our natural tendencies during different times of the month.Malka Chana Amichai, a certified Postpartum Doula, is passionate about helping women connect to their femininity. Her mission is to educate and support women to be active participants in their own life experiences. She expanded her practice to become a Prenatal Yoga instructor, a Kallah teacher who gives premarital education to brides, and a sexual health mentor. He main objective is to empower women in their womanhood and to facilitate their reconnection with the divine feminine that flows through all of us.Below are the phases of our menstrual cycle, as they correspond to each season:Menstrual Phase--Winter--just like when it's cold in the winter, we cuddle up with cozy socks and a warm blanket, and tend to stay home, during the time we are menstruating, women go inward. They want to spend more time at home; they tend to want to be by themselves; they do a lot of inner work and self-care during this time of the month.Follicular Phase--Spring--just like in the spring when the flowers start blooming, and the weather starts getting warner, women start coming out of their shell more. They tend to want to be around people a bit more than during the menstrual phase. They experience more creativity, inspiration and hope.Ovulation Phase--Summer--just like in the summer when it's hot and everything is in full bloom, women are more aroused, they want to be closer with their partner, they want to be around their friends and be much more social and outgoing. This is the phase of the month when they feel most connected to others.Post Ovulation Phase--Fall--just like the fall is the transition between summer and winter, the post period phase is an in between time for women; a type of "nowhere zone," where we feel that we're neither here nor there. This is the time when we experience higher than usual anxiety. If you are in the perimenopause or menopause phase of your life, you can still connect to your cycle through the phases of the moon. Rosh Chodesh is a women's holiday, and it's marked by the New Moon.New Moon--correlates with the menstruation phase (winter)Waxing Moon--correlates with the follicular phase (spring)Full Moon--correlates with the ovulation phase (summer)Waning Moon--correlates with the post ovulation phase (fall)Malka Chana also talks about how mothers can introduce the concept of menstruation and periods to her preteen or teenage daughter, and how mothers can transmit to them the beauty of being a woman.For more information on Malka Chana, visit her website: https://www.bohemianbalabusta.com/about-me/Vera Kessler (host of America's Top Rebbetzins) is a certified life coach. She specializes in transformational life coaching and accountability coaching. She is also a motivational speaker. Vera's mission is to help women get out of survival mode and start thriving.

Pregnancy is a time of profound transformation — physically, emotionally, and spiritually. As your body grows and adapts to nurture new life, finding ways to connect with yourself and your baby can be a grounding and empowering experience. Prenatal yoga has been a popular form of exercise and movement during pregnancy because it offers a unique opportunity to do just that, blending movement, breathwork, and mindfulness to ease discomforts, calm the mind, and prepare the body for labor and birth. In this week's episode, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jesse Bennett about the transformative power of prenatal yoga. Together, we explored its many benefits, from relieving aches and pains to fostering a deeper connection between mom and baby. Jesse also shared valuable insights into breathwork, poses to embrace (and avoid), and the importance of slowing down during pregnancy. Whether you're new to yoga or a seasoned practitioner, this episode is packed with tips and inspiration to help you feel more empowered during your pregnancy journey. Who is Jesse Bennett? Jesse is an author, Yoga and Pilates teacher, wellness expert, and mother based in California. Jesse writes and illustrates children's books made to help children regulate their nervous system through practices seen in yoga. Her first book, The Yoga House, was inspired by her daughter, who has a difficult time falling asleep, encouraging them to meditate and breathe together. Jesse's mission is to teach goodness, love, and kindness to children and their families, which we love and appreciate. What Did We Discuss? As I mentioned, I got to chat with Jesse about the benefits of prenatal yoga, from easing discomforts to embracing the power of slowing down during pregnancy and more. Here are several of the questions that we covered in our conversation: What are the benefits of prenatal yoga?  What are some common misconceptions about prenatal yoga? How does prenatal yoga differ from regular yoga practices? How can prenatal yoga help connect mom and baby?  What specific yoga poses are most beneficial for pregnant individuals, and why? Are there any poses or movements that should be avoided during pregnancy? How does breathwork play a role in prenatal yoga? Can you guide us through a simple breathwork exercise for expectant mothers? Talk to us about “embracing the power of slowing down.” What does that mean to you, and why is it important for expectant mothers?  What other techniques do you recommend for managing stress and anxiety during this time? How can the practices of prenatal yoga and breathwork support the postpartum experience? What resources do you recommend for expectant mothers who are interested in learning more about prenatal yoga and breathing techniques? Jesse reminded us that prenatal yoga is more than just a form of exercise — it's a way to honor and care for yourself during one of the most remarkable chapters of your life. By embracing movement, mindfulness, and breathwork, you can find greater balance, ease, and connection throughout pregnancy and beyond. I hope this episode inspires you to explore the incredible benefits of prenatal yoga for yourself. Whether it's through simple poses, calming breathwork, or just the practice of slowing down, every little step toward self-care makes a difference.

Shelley shares how her early experiences of giving birth at a young age led her to discover the benefits of yoga for birth preparation. She describes her prenatal yoga training at Kripalu in 2005 and how it sparked her passion for understanding trauma in birth work. Shelley emphasizes the importance of creating empowering and trauma-informed classes, where every word and guidance can impact the birthing person.

She explains how her deep understanding of the childbearing year continuum has been built through hands-on experience and training, allowing her to provide comprehensive support from pregnancy to postpartum. Shelley's prenatal yoga classes serve as a space for community and support, leading to natural referrals for her doula and postpartum services.

The Connected Yoga Teacher Podcast 381: Making Yoga More Inclusive with Billie Smith   Description: How can we make yoga more inclusive? How do we make movement more accessible by adopting a different approach to yoga poses instead of a one-size-fits-all approach? What does it mean to teach in an anti-diet, queer-affirming way? Billie Smith shares their insights.   Billie is a queer yoga/movement teacher, trauma/abuse/ED survivor who is disrupting the norm and going against the grain. They are dedicated to eliminating diet-culture, spiritual-bypassing and other excluding narratives from the yoga spaces they create, and helping their students learn to check in with how they feel instead of how they look. Through group classes, one-on-one sessions, and workshops, Billie leads with an open heart and strives to hold safe, inclusive space for folks seeking to move their bodies for emotional health, increase mobility and strength, and feel good in their body for longer.   In this episode, Billie shares how they ended up doing work to combat diet culture messages and how they help people start checking in and listening to their bodies. They also share deep insights about letting go of control as teachers and how we can better empower our students to make the decisions that are best for them and their bodies in the moment. Billie also shares some tips on how we can create more inclusive yoga spaces and reflects on how social justice ties in with yoga.    Key Takeaways: [0:07] Shannon briefly shares why she is so excited about this podcast! [3:53] Shannon gives a shout-out to the sponsors, OfferingTree and Shannon's 20-hour Yoga for Pelvic Health Training. [6:02] Shannon introduces her guest for this episode - Billie Smith. [12:59] What does Billie do and who do they do it for? [16:27] What led Billie to start on this journey of making sure their yoga spaces are inclusive and against diet culture? [21:33] Shannon and Billie discuss the common perception in yoga classes that the teacher knows the student's body better than they do. [24:12] One thing we can do as teachers is really reflect on what is the goal of each pose, and consider how else we can achieve the same benefits without the pose having to look a certain way. [26:49] Why is it such a gift when a student approaches a teacher thinking that the teacher knows more, but the teacher uses the opportunity to invite the student into a moment of self-inquiry? [30:49] Sometimes, we may have trouble letting go of control of what our students should be doing in our classes. What is Billie's advice to the teacher who may feel upset that a student is not following their lead? [36:58] Shannon pops in with a message of thanks for OfferingTree. [39:14] How can we make our classes more inclusive and accessible even if we don't have the lived experience? [46:48] What are Billie's thoughts that anything to do with social justice is out of our scope of practice as yoga teachers?

It's sending the message that there's nothing wrong with their body. And it's also not a big deal if the posture is not fitting."   "The thing that's gonna make the most impact is the actions rather than the words."

Today, we're talking to Nashville-based yoga instructor, doula, and activist, Renee Watkins, about reconnecting to your body to make a real difference. And what does that actually mean? It means using breath work, which is the common thread among all of Renee's passions and pursuits, so you can find not only emotional healing for yourself, but also for your community.It's evident that Renee cares deeply about helping people and she starts with her local community here in Nashville. Through Renee's yoga practice, she's breaking down stereotypes and creating safe, inclusive spaces for Black and brown women. We get into all of that in this episode, plus we also talk about:Why its important to be in tune with your body, what your body can tell you, how to start making a difference while protecting your peace, releasing anger, and breathing the correct way. And you might be surprised about what the right way is.Then, we get into the topic of high birth mortality rates, especially for Black women, in the United States, what to do to minimize birth trauma and how it all fits together with Yoga, human advocacy, and teaching our kids what they really need to know so they can avoid some of the pitfalls we're seeing in our time. We finish up the episode talking about sexuality and sensuality and dealing with repression of it. It's all connected.Throughout the episode, Renee gives us awesome expert advice and she mixes in personal stories too, so you'll love getting to know her and her bright personality. Her Yoga practice, which is her primary focus right now, is called RW Yoga. She's trained extensively in Vinyasa, Rocket, and Prenatal Yoga.This episode does come with a trigger warning: About half way through, maybe a little before, we start talking about sex education with several hard truths and then move into the topic of birth trauma with real life examples. These are very important, critical conversations to have, but proceed with caution if these topics are triggering for you.Now, let's dive in.***Support for this podcast comes from Bed of Nails.

Prenatal yoga helps prepare the body for labor and delivery, and the benefits can include stress reduction, improved emotional well-being, and increased self-awareness. As in any health or exercise program pursued during pregnancy, it's important to listen to your body and consult with your doctor or health practitioner for guidance, before you begin.Guest-host Katie Baki is in her third trimester and guest Ali Owens is a mother of three. They are both teachers at Glo. Katie has a three-part class of prenatal yoga classes on the Glo platform.Katie and Ali discuss how pregnant yoga practitioners must adjust their practice to accommodate the changes in the body during pregnancy.

Many studies demonstrate the benefits of yoga during pregnancy, from reducing time in labor to improving newborn outcomes. The American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists states that modified yoga is one of the safest exercises for pregnant women. ACOG also cautions against specific poses and hot yoga. As with examining any activity, there is nuance to determining what activities are safe. Research is available on particular poses and practicing yoga in a heated environment. This episode examines the evidence on prenatal yoga, physical changes that can affect your yoga practice and precautions, and tips to modify yoga during pregnancy.

In this episode Gina and Roxanne welcome yoga teacher and author, Sarah Ezrin, to discuss the role of yoga in prenatal fitness and preparation for birth. Throughout the discussion, the trio tackle topics such as the importance of empowering mothers to understand where and when they may need modifications, and recognizing when a movement may or may not be suitable- rather than focusing solely on what NOT to do. They delve into understanding the pelvic floor, the importance of both internal and external rotation, and how yoga can contribute to either facilitating or impeding labor progress. The episode wraps up with Sarah sharing her book, 'The Yoga of Parenting,' which intends to guide parents through body mindfulness practices and to help them stay connected with themselves and their children. 00:00 Introduction 00:30 Meet the Hosts: Gina and Roxanne 01:19 Introducing Sarah Ezrin: Prenatal Yoga Expert 02:06 Sarah's Journey into Yoga and Parenting 02:59 The Importance of Prenatal Yoga 03:33 Sarah's Personal Experience with Prenatal Yoga 04:36 The Challenges of Prenatal Yoga Classes 05:40 Understanding Core Work During Pregnancy 07:16 Empowering Pregnant Women with the Right Information 07:34 The Importance of the Pelvic Floor in Pregnancy 18:37 The Need for More Postpartum Support in Yoga 22:06 Modifying Yoga Poses for Pregnancy 23:19 The Role of the Core and Pelvic Floor in Pregnancy 26:43 The Misconceptions of Core Work 28:00 Redefining Core Movements 28:57 The Impact of Yoga on the Pelvic Floor 30:14 The Role of Yoga in Pregnancy and Labor 32:19 The Importance of Internal Rotation in Yoga 34:42 The Impact of Yoga Postures on Labor and Birth 41:52 The Need for a Balanced Yoga Practice 48:49 The Yoga of Parenting: A New Perspective 51:07 Closing Remarks and Recommendations ----- Find Sarah's Website Here: https://sarahezrinyoga.com/ Find Sarah's Instagram Here: https://www.instagram.com/sarahezrinyoga/ ----- This podcast is sponsored by Needed, a nutrition company focused on optimal nourishment for your perinatal journey. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code MAMASTEPOD for 20% off your first order or three months of subscription.⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ And we are sponsored by Crossover Symmetry, world-class training and equipment for pain, fitness & performance. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Use code MAMASTEFIT for 20% off your equipment package.

Welcome to a bonus "Ask Me 3" episode with prenatal yoga teacher Deb Flashenberg! Listen as I ask Deb the 3 questions: 1. How does POSTnatal yoga benefit a new parent as oppose to just going back to their regular class?  2. What is one thing a new parent can do right away to help heal diastasis and help their pelvic floor? 3. What is your "go to" yoga pose to relieve upper back pain from breastfeeding? Listen as Deb asks me the 3 questions: 1. What are your suggestions for supporting anxious children? 2. How as a parent can we respond to kids' stress and overwhelm, and how should we foster overall resilience? 3. What are some ways to make transitions easier even when time "warnings" and count downs have been given? ie- getting off a device, getting out of the house?   --   Rachel's free coaching calls: https://rachel-bailey.com/coaching/ Rachel's Facebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/RachelBailey Rachel's Raising Resilience Membership: https://rachel-bailey.com/raising-resilience-membership/

It's time for another incredible, game-changing conversation of The Long Game series.    Today, it is my joy to introduce the absolutely amazing Brett Larkin. I didn't know Brett before this interview, and what you are about to witness is 2 souls falling in love.    We immediately dove right into the deep end. From mom guilt over having help in the home, to can yoga teachers make money, to what it takes to be a phenomenal receiver and the realness of the entrepreneurial grind.    A profound moment in our conversation was about shifting from a 'hunter' to a 'farmer' mindset in business. And a mind blowing moment around masculine energy being in devotion the feminine energy.    You know how this goes. Make sure your headphones are on, turn the volume all the way up, and give yourself this gift.    More Love,   Tracy The Consciousness Revolution Gala is happening Friday, September 29.    Join us for an unprecedented evening of growth, connection, and ascension AND the debut of The Litt Factor's Brand New Contribution to the calling forth of a kinder world, a higher collective consciousness, and the next stages of human and spiritual evolution.
