What am I so excited about for my time in the US?⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
Beyond coffee shops, brunches, group fitness classes and nephew snuggles...being in the same-ish time zone as some badass women I've been trying to introduce you all to for a while!⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
Tomorrow, Wednesday Dec 11th at 8pm CST I'll chat on instalive with @lisa.marie.ryan all about her navigation through postpartum rehab, body image, finding a evidence-based and compassionate care team and getting back to what she loves with bravery. This isn't just about Diastasis Recti, but also changing the messaging about bodies after birth. ⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
Then, Thursday Dec 12th at 8am CST I'll chat with @lizwinterswellness all about the marriage of nutrition and movement and community in the prenatal and postpartum period. How to find resources, what to focus on and what to leave at the door. Also, her personal story of loss and how that lead to her creating what she needed in a postpartum resource⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
-⁠⠀
Let me know if you all have any questions you've been dying to ask on these topics or to these lovely ladies.

Happy American Thanksgiving!🦃 We decided to take advantage of the irony and head to London for the weekend to see Hamilton! All we got was this crappy selfie, but the show was AMAZING!!! We missed friends and feasts and family but are so thankful for the opportunity to make memories and travel and be healthy enough to do so.
Thank you for all of your support in my little part of the Internet so I can keep teaching and sharing. I know we all have so much to be thankful for!💕

Stick with me on this one...⁠
⁠
We are often told you can't sit-up until you can do x,y,z...you shouldn't twist or rotate until everything is healed...you shouldn't jump until you do squats for 24 months...⁠
⁠
But what if fear is getting in the way instead of facts, evidence, and your specific body, movement patterns, and healing timeline?⁠
⁠
Rules and timelines make us feel safe, but sometimes safe isn't what we need to challenge ourselves to get better.⁠
⁠
❗Now don't go jumping on a freshly sprained ankle or doing inverted sit-ups a couple weeks post c-section in the name of a challenge. ⁠
⁠
❓I'm just saying, what if with the right knowledge about the red flags you are looking for, you felt empowered to try a movement and know when to stop or when to press on? ⁠
⁠
YOU figured out your threshold instead of being told what's on a "No" and "yes" list.⁠
⁠
This is why the theme of the second week of my class is rotation...not only because we live in rotation, but because women are told to not bend and rotate postpartum.⁠
⁠
With some guidance, some knowledge and options, women are able to problem solve where their threshold is in rotating through their hips, upper back and core. ⁠
⁠
By providing an environment to practice and problem solve women will feel more prepared for the real life movements they need to accomplish day to day!
